Chapter 3: Adjusting the Camera Settings
The HP PhotoSmart 215 digital camera has default settings that take great photos in
most indoor and outdoor locations. To adjust the camera settings, use the Capture
menu on the image LCD.
Changing the Photo Quality
Adjusting the photo quality setting changes the quality of the photo and determines
how many photos can be stored on the CompactFlash memory card. To store the most
photos, set the photo quality to basic. You can use different photo quality settings for
different photos on the same memory card.
The current photo quality setting is indicated by an icon on the status LCD.
Basic The most memory-efficient photo quality setting. Use this setting for photos
you plan to send via email, place on the Internet, use for screen savers or
wallpaper, or print up to 3x5 inches (7.6x12.7mm).
Fine Produces high-quality photos and requires less memory than Super Fine. Use
this setting for photos you plan to store on your disk or in a database, or print up
to 5x7 inch (12.7x17.8mm) prints. This is the default setting.
Super Fine Produces the highest-quality photos and uses the most memory per
picture. Use this setting for taking photos you plan to enlarge.
