Setting the Exposure

The HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera automatically adjusts the amount of light in your photo for different lighting conditions. It includes two automatic methods (Matrix and Spot) which calculate the exposure setting differently. To make the final photo lighter or darker than the automatic exposure would produce, you can also manually adjust the exposure. Exposure can be adjusted as much as +/-1.5 EVs (Exposure Values) in 0.3 EV increments.

To change the exposure setting:

1.Turn the camera on and turn the camera mode dial to Rec.

2.Press the Menu button.

3.Use the 4-way arrow button to scroll to the Photo Assist menu. The Photo Assist menu displays with Exposure selected.

4.Press the Edit button (left soft key).

5.Use the 4-way arrow button to select an exposure option.
