HP R927 manual White Balance, ISO speed

Page 25

Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a flash wouldn’t reach. Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these:

●Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade

●Cloudy days when there is a lot of glare from the sky

●Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even out the effect of the flash)

●Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the flash to reach, or is severely backlit (for example, in front of a window)

You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without flash, but it is not recommended as a replacement for flash. Unlike the flash, Adaptive Lighting does not affect exposure settings, so brightened areas may appear noisy or grainy, and indoor or night images may be blurry if taken without a flash or a tripod.

Tip To see the effect the Adaptive Lighting settings might have on a scene, use the Adaptive Lighting option in Bracketing (see Bracketing under Using the Capture Menu on page 20).

White Balance

Different lighting conditions cast different colors. This setting allows the camera to compensate for this, reproducing colors more accurately and ensuring that whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust the white balance to produce creative effects. For example, the Sun setting produces a warmer look to the image.

ISO speed

This setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to light. When ISO Speed is set to the default Auto setting, the camera selects the best ISO speed for the scene.

Lower ISO speeds capture images with the least amount of grain (or noise), but result in slower shutter speeds. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a flash at ISO 100, use a tripod.

Higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or when taking pictures of fast moving objects. Higher ISO speeds produce pictures with more grain (or noise) and, therefore, can be of lower quality.
