HP PhotoSmart R707 Review


Record Modes & Menu Options
Please excuse the poor quality of these screen captures, the HP R707 does
not output video in record mode so we had to photograph some of them off of
the LCD monitor.
This is the record screen when using "Auto" exposure mode. At the top there are icons for storage media (SD), battery condition, number of pictures remaining, and image size/quality.
After you have taken a picture, you can preview it in playback mode and
select Image Advice, then the camera will display a screen like above.
Record menu options:
Image Quality - 5MP ***, 5MP **, 3MP **, 1MP **, VGA **, Custom, or Help White Balance - Auto, Sun, Shade, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Manual and Help ISO Speed - Auto, 100, 200, 400, and Help AE Metering - Center, Spot, Average, and Help Adaptive Lighting - Off, High, Low, and Help Color - Full color, B&W, Sepia, and Help Saturation - Low, Medium, High, and Help Sharpness - Low, Medium, High, and Help Contrast - Low, Medium, High, and Help AE Bracketing - Off, ±0.3 EV, ±0.7 EV, ±1.0 EV, and Help Date & Time Imprint - Off, Date only, Date & Time, and Help Exit - Exit the menu system
Setup menu options:
Camera Sounds - Off, Low, High Focus Assist Light - Auto, Off Live View at Power On - On, Off Date & Time - Set Date and Time USB Configuration - Digital camera or Disk drive TV Configuration - NTSC or PAL Language - Choose from 6 different Languages Move Images to Card - Copies images from the internal memory to a memory card Reset Settings - Allows you to restore factory default settings Exit - Exit the menu system
The PhotoSmart R707 captures 320x240 MPEG-1 movies at 30fps w/sound, limited
only by the capacity of the memory. As with most digicams that record sound
with video, the zoom cannot be used while recording but can be preset before
recording begins.
You can access the Help menu in either Record or Playback mode. This is a very useful tool, that gives users a lengthy description of various features and controls of the camera. |
