HP Photosmart R717 User’s Manual
My image is
too dark
(continued).
The flash was
on, but the
subject was too
far away.
Make sure your subject is within
the flash working distance (see
page 202). If not, try using the
Flash Off
setting (see
page 47), which will require a
longer exposure (use a tripod), or
use Adaptive Lighting (see
page 64).
A light is
behind the
subject.
• Use the Flash On
setting
(see page 47), or use
Adaptive Lighting (see
page 64) to brighten the
subject.
• Use the Spot setting for AE
Metering (see page 76).
The scene had
many light-
colored
objects, such
as a white
object on a
light
background.
Increase the EV Compensation
(see
page 63).
My image is
grainy.
The ISO Speed
setting was too
high.
Use a lower ISO Speed setting
(see page 78).
There was not
enough light.
• Wait for natural lighting
conditions to improve.
• Add indirect lighting.
• Use the flash (see
page 47).
