Chapter 3: Taking Pictures 32 Understanding the LEDs on the Camera
Understanding the LEDs on the Camera
Your camera has several LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that light solid or blink to indicate that
certain actions are occurring within the camera. This section describes what these LEDs are and how
they behave.
Timer LED
Figure 20: Timer LED The red timer LED on the front of the camera (see Figure 20) lights solid and/or blinks depending on
the timer mode you set (see “Setting the Timer Mode” on page 14). If you set the timer mode to the:
10-Second Timer mode
10-Second Timer mode10-Second Timer mode
10-Second Timer mode when you press the shutter release button all the way down, the timer
LED lights solid for 7 seconds. It then blinks for the final 3 seconds before the camera takes
the picture.
Remote timer mode

Remote timer mode, the timer LED blinks slowly while waiting for the trigger. When you press
the HP Remote Control’s trigger button, the timer LED blinks very fast briefly to indicate that the
image was captured.
Note: The timer LED will not blink when either
the memory card is full, or the camera cannot
take a picture for some other reason.
3-Second Remote timer mode

3-Second Remote timer mode, the timer LED blinks slowly while waiting for the trigger. When
you press the HP Remote Control’s trigger button, the timer LED blinks faster for 3 seconds
before the camera takes the picture. The timer LED then blinks very fast to indicate that the
image was captured.

Memory Card Access LED
The amber memory card access LED on the back of the camera (see Figure 21) blinks whenever the
camera is reading from or writing to the memory card.
Caution: Make sure the camera is powered off
any time you remove the memory card from
the camera. Removing the memory card when
the memory card access LED is blinking could
corrupt the images and other files on the
memory card.
