Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

Noise Reduction for Long Exposures

At longer shutter speeds the camera will automatically take a

second exposure with the shutter closed in order to measure

and reduce the noise (grainy look) in the image. In these cases,

the exposure will seem to take twice as long as expected. For

example, in a 1-second exposure, the Image Display will stay

dark for 2 seconds until the noise reduction frame is exposed.

This means that at longer shutter speeds, you may not be able

to take quite as many shots back-to-back.

Using Panorama Mode

NOTE

If the HP Image Zone software is not installed on your

computer, see

Panorama

mode allows you to take a sequence of 2–5 pictures

that can be “stitched” together in order to capture a scene too

wide to fit into a single picture. In

Panorama

mode, you take a

picture as the first in the panoramic sequence, and each

subsequent picture you take is added to the panorama until

you end the sequence by pressing the

Menu/OK

button, or

until you have taken the fifth picture in the sequence. You can

then view a low-resolution image of your panorama with the

Preview Panorama

option in the

Playback

(see

page 95), or you can transfer the images in the panoramic

sequence to your computer for stitching together and then

viewing or printing.
