HP 630 manual Using the viewfinder, Using the Macro Exposure Mode setting on the camera

Using the viewfinder

The viewfinder has a circle and three lines superimposed on it. You can use the circle in the viewfinder to center most of the pictures you take and all of the video clips you record. The only time you should not use the circle to center a picture is when you are taking close-up pictures

using the Macro Exposure Mode setting on the camera.

NOTE The Exposure Mode setting does not apply when you are recording video clips.

If you use the viewfinder to take close-up pictures in Macro Exposure Mode, parallax error can occur. (This means that some of the subject you see through the viewfinder will not actually appear in your captured image.) The lines above and below the circle in the viewfinder can help you correct for this.

1Set Exposure Mode to Macro in the Capture menu. See Using the capture menu on page 35, and then see Exposure mode on page 39.

2Frame the entire subject for your close-up picture within the three lines in the viewfinder. Be sure that you line-up the upper-left corner of the picture using the parallax lines.

NOTE It is strongly recommended, however, that you use Live View on the Image Display (see the next section), instead

of the viewfinder, when using the Macro Exposure Mode setting. (Live View turns on automatically when you

set the Exposure Mode to Macro .) Live View alleviates parallax error when you are using Macro .
