NOTE: The shooting modes do not apply when you are
recording video clips.
If the shooting mode setting is anything other than the
default, the icon for the setting appears in the Live View
screen.
The shooting mode remains in effect until it is changed
again, or until you turn the camera off. To save changed
settings, use My Mode (see pages 56 and 57).
Noise Reduction for Long Exposures
At longer shutter speeds, the camera requires additional time
to reduce the noise (grainy look) in the image. In these
cases, the exposure will seem to take twice as long as
expected. As a result, you may not be able to take pictures
back-to-back as quickly, but you are assured images free of
noise.
Using Panorama Mode
Panorama mode allows you to take a sequence of 2–5
pictures that can be stitched together to capture a scene too
wide to fit into a single picture. In Panorama mode, each
picture you take is added to the panorama until you end the
sequence or have taken the fifth picture in the sequence. You
can then stitch your panoramic sequence together with the
Stitch Panorama option (see page 94) on the camera.
Alternatively, you can transfer the images in the panoramic
sequence to your computer using HP Image Zone (see
page 97) for automatic stitching and then viewing or
printing.
NOTE: Digital zoom is not available in Panorama mode.
