Using Zoom
The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the
more small movements of the camera are magnified. This is
called camera shake. So, especially at full telephoto zoom
(3x), you must hold the camera steady in order to take a
picture that is not blurry. If an icon of a shaking hand
appears in the Live View screen, you should hold the camera
steadier, such as closer to your body or against a steady
object, or set the camera on a tripod or stable surface;
otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.
Using Optical Zoom
Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film
camera, where physical lens elements move inside the
camera to make the subject of your picture appear closer.
Press Zoom Out
and Zoom In on the
Zoom lever to move the lens between wide
angle (1x) and telephoto (3x) positions.
NOTE: Optical zoom is not available while
recording video clips.
Using Digital Zoom
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses no moving lens parts.
The camera essentially crops the image to give an
appearance of the subject of the picture being an additional
1.05x to 7x larger on the HP Photosmart M417, and 1.05x
to 8x larger on the HP Photosmart M517.
1. Press Zoom In on the Zoom lever to optically zoom in
to the maximum level, then release the button.
