HP Imaging Technology

State-of-the-art image processing technology developed by HP that captures sharp, colorful images with

 

exceptional levels of detail, individually optimizes every image, and produces great detail in highlights

 

and shadows.

icon

A picture on an LCD, computer screen, or printed on a device that represents a specific setting. Icons on a

 

digital camera’s LCD communicate the camera's status, such as particular settings that have been made

 

for taking a picture. See also “LCD” on page 119.

image

The electronic version of a photograph as it is stored in a digital camera, computer, or other electronic

 

medium. Digital cameras capture and store an image when you take a picture. See also “picture” on

 

page 120 and “photo” on page 120.

image LCD

The Liquid Crystal Display on the back of the camera. The image LCD and its accompanying

 

buttons and soft keys let you view and work with images on the camera. See also “DISPLAY button” on

 

page 116, “MENU button” on page 119, and “soft keys” on page 122.

image size

See “size” on page 122.

image type

The type of image the camera will capture. There are three image types: One Shot, Continuous, and

 

Timelapse. You can change the image type by pressing the left soft key while in Capture mode. See also

 

“Continuous image type” on page 116, “One Shot image type” on page 119, and “Timelapse image type”

 

on page 123.

image type icon

An icon that appears on the left side of the bottom overlay bar in the image LCD and shows the image

 

type setting in Capture mode.

image type soft key

The left soft key on the back of the camera that you press to set the image type in Capture mode.

infrared

A type of connection that allows images to be transmitted between the camera and another device (such

 

as a printer) without connecting wires when the infrared window on the camera is lined-up with an infrared

 

sensor on the other device. See also “JetSend” on page 118.

infrared window

The window on the front of the camera that uses the HP JetSend infrared technology. See also “JetSend”

 

on page 118.

interval

The time between images being captured for the Timelapse image type.

ISO number

The International Organization for Standardization rating for film or CCD sensitivity. A higher ISO number

 

means less light is needed to take a picture. CCDs in digital cameras are rated in terms of ISO numbers.

 

ISO is not an acronym; it is derived from the Greek “isos”, meaning equal. See also “CCD” on page 116.

JetSend

A protocol developed by HP for sending image data from one device to another without using any

 

connecting cables between the devices. JetSend uses infrared technology to transmit images from the

 

camera to a printer for printing.

JPEG

A compressed image file format developed by the Joint Photo Expert Group. Its strengths are very small

 

file sizes and fast display rates. (It is 7 to 10 times faster than some other image file formats.) See also “file

 

type” on page 117 and “TIFF” on page 122.
