43 Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
Portrait Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or more
people as their primary subject. The camera combines
a smaller F-number to blur the background, with lower
sharpness for a more natural effect.
Landscape Use Landscape mode to capture scenes with deep
perspective, such as mountains or city skylines, when
you want the foreground and the background to be in
focus. The camera combines a higher F-number for
better depth of field with higher saturation for a more
vivid effect.
Panorama Use Panorama mode for grand landscapes, such as
mountain ranges, or group pictures where you want to
capture a wide shot that one image cannot capture.
This mode allows you to shoot a series of overlapping
frames for stitching into one, large panoramic image
using the HP Image Zone software. Flash is set to Flash
Off in this mode. (See Using Panorama Mode on
page 44). You can view the entire panoramic shot
using the Preview Panorama option in the Playback
Menu (see Preview Panorama on page 73).
Beach Use Beach mode to capture scenes at the beach. This
mode allows you to capture bright beach scenes, with
a good balance of highlights and shadows.
Snow Use Snow mode to capture scenes in snow. This mode
allows you to capture bright snow scenes, preserving
the correct brightness of the snow.
Sunset Use Sunset mode to capture outdoor scenes at sunset.
This mode starts the focus at infinity and sets the flash
to Flash Off. This mode improves the saturation of
sunset colors and retains the warmth of the scene with
a bias towards the orange colors of the sunset.
