protect
Marking an image so that no one can delete it.
record button
See “sound record button” on page 122.
red-eye
Refers to a human’s or animal’s eyes that appear red in captured images, which is caused by using the
flash on a camera.
red-eye reduction
A flash mode you can use to minimize red-eye in captured images of humans or animals. The camera
does this by flashing twice. See also “flash mode” on page 117.
reformat
Reformatting completely erases the memory card, including all images (protected and unprotected) and
all other files.
remote control
A device used to trigger the shutter from a location that is remote from the camera, such as when you want
to take a self portrait or want to be in a group picture. When you press the HP Remote Control’s trigger, the
image capture is delayed by a length of time specified by the timer mode. See also “timer mode” on
page 123.
resolution
The measure of how many pixels are displayed or printed. The resolution of a CCD is determined by
multiplying the X pixels by the Y pixels. The greater the resolution, the greater the amount of detail
visible, and the larger the file size. The final output device (computer monitor or printer) on which an
image is displayed or printed determines the actual resolution you will see. For example, if you capture an
image at 1600 x 1200 pixels, and your printer is capable of printing at only 300 dpi (dots per inch), the
printed image will be no more than 300 dpi.
review
The process of using the image LCD to view the images stored on the memory card.
Review mode
An operational mode you can use to sort and edit the captured images on the camera. See also “camera
mode dial” on page 116.
self-timer
See “timer” on page 123.
Send button
A button on the back of the camera you can use to send images from the camera to a printer via the
HP JetSend infrared technology. The Send button is active in the Capture, Review, and Playback modes.
See also “JetSend” on page 118.
shutter
A set of surfaces that block light from the film or CCD in a camera. When the shutter is released, the
surfaces open for a predefined time, admitting a measured amount of light. See also “CCD” on page 116.
Shutter Priority (Tv) exposure mode
An exposure mode setting in the Photo Assist menu that lets you select a shutter speed, and the
camera automatically selects the aperture setting. See also “aperture” on page 115, “Aperture Priority (Av)
exposure mode” on page 115, “shutter” on page 121, and “shutter speed” on page 122.
