HP M407 manual While in the Macro Shooting mode, Camera combines a smaller F-number to blur

To change the shooting mode, press the MODE button on the back of the camera until the desired shooting mode appears on the Image Display. The following table describes each of the shooting mode settings on the camera.

Setting	Description
Auto	The camera automatically selects the best F-number
Mode	(aperture) and shutter speed for the scene. Auto
	mode works well for most shots in normal situations.
	This mode is also useful when you need to take a
	good shot quickly, and do not have time to select a
	special shooting mode on the camera.
Macro	This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of
	subjects less than 0.5 m (20 in) away. In this mode,
	auto focus has a distance range of 0.1 to 0.5 m (4 to
	20 in), and the camera will not take a picture if it
	cannot find focus (see Focusing the Camera on
	page 32).

	NOTE It is recommended that you not use zoom
	while in the Macro	shooting mode.
Fast Shot	The camera uses a fixed focus instead of auto focus,
	allowing you to take pictures very quickly. Use this
	mode in bright light conditions when the subject is
	moderate to long distances away.
Action	The camera uses fast shutter speeds and higher ISO
	speeds to stop motion. Use Action mode to capture
	sporting events, moving cars, or any scene where you
	want to stop the action.
Portrait	The camera combines a smaller F-number to blur the
	background, with lower sharpness for a more natural
	effect. Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or
	more people as their primary focal point.
