Using The Stabilizer Feature; Setting The Zoom Control - HP CW450 User Manual

Using the Stabilizer Feature

The Stabilizer feature is for Photo taking only. This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos
caused by slight camera movement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement
and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camera's ability to auto focus.
How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data
processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CCD sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the
use of faster shutter speeds compared to the default mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement.
To activate Stabilizer
• Press the Stabilizer button
the top of the camera to enable/disable stabilizer.
If Stabilizer is enabled, the stabilizer icon is displayed on
the LCD screen and the ISO setting is automatically set
to Automatic. See "ISO" on page 27 for more details.

Setting the Zoom Control

Using a combination of 4 times optical zoom and 5 times digital zoom permits zoom photography at up to 20 times
magnification. While the digital zoom can be a useful feature, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more
pixelated (grainier) the image may appear. Please refer to "Setting the Digital Zoom" on page 42 on how to setup
digital zoom.
