HP 618 manual Using Instant Review

Note: When Instant Review is set to Off, the camera immediately returns to Capture mode, and the captured image or sequence of images is automatically saved to the memory card.

Note: If you are unhappy with any other images within a Continuous sequence (rather than just the final image, which you can only delete during Instant Review), you can delete those images in the Review mode. To do this, see “Deleting Images” on page 32.

Similarly, if you are unhappy with one or more images within a Timelapse sequence, you can delete only those images in the Review mode (rather than deleting all of the images in the sequence during Instant Review). To do this, see “Deleting Images” on page 32.

Using Instant Review

The Instant Review feature allows you to see displayed on the image LCD either the One Shot image, the final image of a Continuous image sequence, or the first image of a Timelapse sequence you just captured. The default setting is that Instant Review is on for 3 seconds after the One Shot image or the final image in a Continuous or Timelapse sequence is captured.

You can change the duration that the image is displayed in Instant Review or turn Instant Review off through the Display menu option in the Preferences menu of Capture mode. (See “Display Submenu” on page 67 and “Setting the Display” on page 95.)

While an image is displayed in Instant Review on the image LCD, you can do any of the following:

ŠRecord sound that will be attached either to the One Shot image, to the final image of a Continuous sequence, or to the first image of a Timelapse sequence (see the next section, “Recording Sound”).

ŠDelete the captured image(s) by pressing the middle (Delete) soft key. Either the One Shot image, the final image of a Continuous sequence, or all of the images in a Timelapse sequence will be deleted.

When you press the Delete soft key, you will be prompted Delete? in the top overlay bar. You can press either the left (Delete) soft key to delete the image(s), or the right (Cancel) soft key to cancel the delete operation. If you recorded sound, then the option of deleting Sound Only is also provided for the middle soft key.

ŠSave the image(s) to the memory card and return to the Capture mode immediately by pressing the right (Exit) soft key. Either the One Shot image, the final image of a Continuous sequence, or all of the images in a Timelapse sequence will be saved.

ŠDo nothing and, when Instant Review times out (the default time-out is 3 seconds), the image(s) are then saved to the memory card automatically. Either the One Shot image, the final image of a Continuous sequence, or all of the images in a Timelapse sequence will be saved.
