HP photosmart m730 series Manuel D’Utilisation

When you press the Shutter button halfway down,
the camera searches for focus within the focus
brackets. When it finds focus, the focus brackets turn
green.
If the focus brackets do not frame your subject, use
Focus Lock (see 

).

When the camera cannot auto focus, the focus brackets turn red. This indicates the
picture may be out of focus because the subject is out of the focus range or the scene
has low contrast.
If you are recording a video or taking a picture with a shooting mode (see 

) other than   Close-up and

the camera cannot focus, it will still take the picture. Try releasing the Shutter button,
reframing, and then pressing the Shutter button halfway down again. If the focus brackets
are still red, try the following.
For pictures and video clips: If the scene has low contrast, use Focus Lock (see

) and aim at a point on the subject that has more colors

or crisp edges.
For pictures only:
•

Select a shooting mode more appropriate for the scene you are capturing (see
Shooting Mode under 

).

•

If the subject is too close (less than 400 mm or 15.7 in), move farther away from the
subject or use   Close-up (see Close-up under 

).

•

If the camera is set to   Close-up and cannot focus, the camera will not take the
picture. Try one of the following:
•

Move within the   Close-up range (150 mm-1m or 5.9-39.97 in) or set the
camera to 

 Auto (see Auto under 

).

•

In low contrast scenes, use Focus Lock (see 

).
