Shutter button  
Tap to snap a picture or start/stop

Camera status icons  
The top number is the number of  
pictures remaining, the stars indicate  
the image quality, the bottom number

the left side of the screen shows the  
metering mode.  
To take a picture:  
1. Rotate the lens body on the Photosmart Mobile Camera to  
frame the subject you want to photograph in the digital  
viewfinder.  
2. Make sure that both you and your subject are still to ensure a  
clear image.  
3. Tap the Shutter button to snap a picture.  
When you snap a picture, your iPAQ Pocket PC makes an audible  
shutter sound (if you have not muted the sounds). The clock runs  
to indicate that the picture has been taken and your iPAQ Pocket  
PC is processing the picture. It may take a few seconds to process  
and store the picture, depending on its size, quality, and  
complexity.  
Immediately after capturing an image a preview of the picture  
you just took appears so that you can decide to either discard or  
keep the image.  
To discard the image, follow the instructions on the screen  
and tap the preview image while it is displayed.  
To save an image, simply wait for the preview to disappear  
from the screen and the camera application to return to the  
digital viewfinder.

and the subject will appear closer in the viewfinder.  
Note: Pictures you snap using the zoom feature may not be as  
sharp as other pictures. Be careful to hold the camera steady  
when snapping zoomed pictures. After you aim the camera, wait  
a moment to steady it and to insure that automatic exposure has  
taken affect.

Tips for Taking Better Pictures  
There are a number of things you can do to ensure the pictures  
you take with your HP Photosmart Mobile Camera are of the  
highest possible quality.  
When taking pictures of scenes with many fine details and  
many colors (for example, a farmer’s market), use the Best  
compression setting.  
When taking pictures of subjects where the background has  
bright lights, try to frame the subject so that the bright lights  
do not appear in the picture.  
User’s Guide

Using the Camera Settings  
Change the White Balance setting to the appropriate type of  
lighting, or choose None under the following conditions:  
Pictures taken with indoor lighting appear tinted (either  
bluish or yellowish).  
The picture is composed of a uniform, primary color (for  
example, a close-up shot of lemons or oranges).  
No white color is present in picture.
