HP R817 Using Panorama Mode, Noise Reduction for Long Exposures, NOTE: Digital zoom is not available in Panorama mode

NOTE: The shooting modes do not apply when you are recording video clips.

If the shooting mode setting is anything other than the default, the icon for the setting appears in the Live View screen.

The shooting mode remains in effect until it is changed again, or until you turn the camera off. To save changed settings, use My Mode (see pages 56 and 57).

Noise Reduction for Long Exposures

At longer shutter speeds, the camera requires additional time to reduce the noise (grainy look) in the image. In these cases, the exposure will seem to take twice as long as expected. As a result, you may not be able to take pictures back-to-back as quickly, but you are assured images free of noise.

Using Panorama Mode

Panorama mode allows you to take a sequence of 2–5 pictures that can be stitched together to capture a scene too wide to fit into a single picture. In Panorama mode, each picture you take is added to the panorama until you end the sequence or have taken the fifth picture in the sequence. You can then stitch your panoramic sequence together with the Stitch Panorama option (see page 94) on the camera. Alternatively, you can transfer the images in the panoramic sequence to your computer using HP Image Zone (see page 97) for automatic stitching and then viewing or printing.

NOTE: Digital zoom is not available in Panorama mode.
