Using the HP Photosmart Mobile Camera

Using Digital Zoom

The digital zoom feature on the Photosmart Mobile Camera allows you to get closer to your subject without moving. To zoom in to your subject, tap on the Zoom In icon in the digital viewfinder window.

When you use the digital zoom feature, your iPAQ Pocket PC will make an audible zoom sound (if you have not muted the sounds), 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.

Recording a Video Clip

Recording a video clip is similar to capturing a still image. To capture a video clip:

1.From the Command Bar, tap Mode > Video.

2.Rotate the lens body on the Photosmart Mobile Camera to frame the subject you want to record in the digital viewfinder.

3.Tap the Shutter button to begin recording your video.

4.Tap the Shutter button a second time to stop recording.

To return the Photosmart Mobile Camera to still image mode, from the Command Bar, tap Mode > Still.

Viewing Pictures and Video Clips

You can use iPAQ Image Zone to browse the pictures and videos you have taken and recorded. To switch to iPAQ Image Zone, from the Command Bar, tap File > Play, or tap the Image Zone button in Capture mode. For more information, refer to Chapter 4, “Using iPAQ Image Zone.”

PhotoSmart specifications

The HP PhotoSmart line of printers and all-in-ones is renowned for its exceptional capabilities in photo printing, catering to both amateur photographers and professional artists alike. Designed with user-friendliness and quality in mind, these devices incorporate advanced technologies that enhance the printing experience.

One of the standout features of the HP PhotoSmart series is its high-resolution printing capability. Many models offer print resolutions up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi, which allows for vivid and detailed images. This high level of detail is crucial for those who wish to print photographs that closely mirror their original digital versions.

Another key characteristic is the use of HP's specialized dye-based and pigment-based inks. Dye-based inks are brilliant and vibrant, making them ideal for color photography, while pigment-based inks provide excellent longevity and fade resistance. This dual ink technology ensures that prints maintain their quality over time, making HP PhotoSmart printers suitable for archiving treasured memories.

Additionally, HP PhotoSmart printers are equipped with borderless printing capability, allowing users to print images that extend to the edge of the paper. This feature eliminates the need for trimming and produces professional-quality prints that are ready for framing.

Moreover, many models in the HP PhotoSmart lineup offer wireless connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, enabling users to print directly from their smartphones or tablets. This feature caters to the growing trend of mobile photography, allowing users to print high-quality photos straight from their favorite devices without the clutter of cables.

HP also integrates a user-friendly interface with touchscreen controls in select PhotoSmart models. This makes navigation simple, enabling users to access various printing options, including templates for photo cards and calendars, without needing a computer.

Another notable technology featured in the PhotoSmart line is HP's Instant Ink program. This subscription service automatically orders ink when supplies run low, ensuring that users never run out of ink at critical moments, which is particularly beneficial for those who print frequently.

In summary, the HP PhotoSmart printers stand out due to their high-resolution capabilities, exceptional ink technology, borderless printing features, wireless connectivity, user-friendly interface, and innovative ink subscription service. These features collectively make the HP PhotoSmart series a preferred choice for anyone looking to produce stunning photographic prints.
