HP M407 manual Using the Shooting Modes

NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the captured image. When you use a flash setting with red- eye reduction, the camera flashes quickly three times to minimize the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals before the camera uses the main flash. It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional flashes. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for the additional flashes.

If the flash setting is anything other than the default Auto Flash setting, the icon for the setting (in the previous table) will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The flash setting resets to the default Auto Flash setting when you turn the camera off.

NOTE To restore the flash setting to what it was when you last turned the camera off, hold down the Menu/OK button as you turn the camera back on.

Using the Shooting Modes

Shooting modes are pre-defined camera settings that are optimized for taking still pictures of certain scene types to give you better results. In each shooting mode, the camera selects the best settings, such as the ISO speed, F-number (aperture), and shutter speed, optimizing them for the particular scene or situation.

NOTE The shooting mode does not apply when you are recording video clips.
