34 HP Photosmart M407 User’s Manual
If the subject for the picture is not within the Macro range,
either move farther away from or closer to the subject, or set
the camera to a shooting mode other than Macro (see
Using the Shooting Modes on page 38). If there is not enough
contrast or light in the focus region, try using a technique
called Focus Lock to focus on a higher-contrast or brighter
object about the same distance away, and then, without
releasing the Shutter button, point the camera at the subject
you were originally trying to photograph (see the next section,
Using Focus Lock). You can also simply turn on more light, if
that is possible.
Using Focus Lock
Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the
center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by
pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can
also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low
contrast situations.
1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets.
2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and
exposure.
3 Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you
re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning.
4 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.
