HP s500 Black Using Smile Capture Mode, Using Blink Detection Mode, Using Pre-composition Mode

Using Smile Capture Mode

When facing the camera, especially kids, smiles are always short and hard to seize by manual shutter. Smile capture mode detects every smile all the time and performs Automatic Focus (AF) to capture an image without pressing Shutter button.

Follow these instructions to capture a photo by Smile Capture Mode:

1.Select from scene menu.

2.Focus the camera on the subject to capture.

3.When a smile is detected, the white focus frame turns green to denote camera shutter and take a shot automatically.

Using Blink Detection Mode

Nothing ruins a great picture more than having a subjects’ eyes closed. Blink Detection provides an extra assurance when capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments.

If closed eyes are detected, a saving confirmation menu appears on the screen, allowing for a re-take of the shot before your subject or subjects move on.

To activate Blink Detection

1.Select from Scene Mode submenu.

2.Half press the Shutter button to focus the subject. The frame turns green to indicate focus is set.

3.Press the Shutter button to capture the photo and automatically save the Image.

4.If the camera detects that a subject has blinked, a “Save image or Cancel” option appears on the screen.

5.Select Save image to save the photo, or Cancel to disregard.

Using Pre-composition Mode

Have you ever asked someone else to take a photo for you, but the photo doesn’t turn out well?

Pre-composition helps to get the desired background, even if someone else is needed to take the picture.

Basically, Pre-composition is a two-step process.

1.Compose the desired background and press the Shutter

button (full press), which causes a semi‑transparent image of the background to remain on the LCD screen. If the background is not correct, press the Menu button

to cancel the semi-transparent temporarily image and repeat this step until the desired background is achived.
