Chapter 3 - Taking Photos
This chapter describes the process of taking photos with your HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera, including how
to take Still, Burst, and Timelapse photos, and detailed descriptions of adjusting the camera settings. If you want a
quick overview, see the Basics guide that you received with your camera.
There are three settings you can use to take photos: Still, Burst, and Timelapse.
Tip:
The Burst setting is ideal for taking action photos. Use the Timelapse setting for observing a subject over a
longer period of time.
Overview
Taking a Photo
The HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera has a 2-step Shutter button. When you press the Shutter button 1/2 way
down, the camera adjusts the focus and exposure of the photo. After these settings are adjusted, a green light
appears to the left of the viewfinder, indicating that you can press the Shutter button all the way down to take the
photo. You may want to practice to get used to the timing, before taking important photos.
Still
Use this setting for taking a single color or black and white photo.
Burst
Use this setting for taking up to 4 photos in rapid succession.
Timelapse
Use this setting for taking several photos, with a set amount of time (1 minute to 24
hours) between photos.
