HP Design Gallery adds artistic effects directly on your camera: your photos will look like cartoons, sketches or antique photographs; fun borders and tint photos to black-and-white, sepia and more. HP also comes with automatic in-camera red-eye removal, in-camera panorama stitching (up to 5 photos), adaptive lighting (automatically adjusts high contrast photos to reveal the detail that would otherwise be lost in the shadows) and a patented technology that analyses your photos then offers tips and suggestions on how you might do things differently for even better results next time.
Also, you can capture high-quality video (and 60 sec audio) then view frame by frame, directly from your camera, to choose the most dramatic moment, but the quality of this snapping is poor.

The camera is easy to use and the printed pictures are crystal clear (sharp and vivid). Just a little bit noisy if enlarged.
Special features for this digital compact camera are quite a number: AE bracketing, HP Adaptive Demosiac, HP Adaptive Lighting, HP Auto Red-eye Removal, HP Design Gallery, HP Image Advice, HP In-camera Panorama Preview and Stitching, HP Noise Filter, HP Preferred Photo Reproduction, HP Vignetting.
Shooting Modes: Auto (default), Action, Aperture priority, Beach, Document, Landscape, Manual mode, My mode, Night Scenery, Night Portrait, Panorama left, Panorama right, Portrait, Shutter priority, Snow, Sunset, Theatre.
Manual Controls: AE bracketing, AE metering, auto focus area, color bracketing, contrast, EV compensation, image quality, ISO speed, saturation, sharpness, video quality, white balance.
Exposure control: Aperture Priority, Auto (default), average AE metering, center-weighted auto exposure metering (AE), Full Manual, Shutter Priority, spot AE metering.
About the movie mode, zoom can be used during filming and the quality is pretty good. There aren’t many buttons on the camera and the menu system has five parts: capture, playback, design gallery, setup, and help.
Some bugs: ISO setting was ignored in shutter priority mode, LCD blackout during continuous shooting.
Overall: a limited ultra-compact digital camera useful for occasional travellers and fans of high resolution prints.

Let’s see what can this camera do: Action, Aperture priority, Auto (default), Beach, Document, Landscape, Manual mode, My mode, Night portrait, Night scenery, Panorama left, Panorama right (But only up to 5 picture, so I’m not very pleased with that), Portrait, Shutter priority, Snow, Steady Photo, Sunset, Theatre… Theatre? I haven’t seen this feature elsewhere. Adaptive Lighting, Adaptive light bracketing, AE bracketing, AE metering, auto focus area, colour bracketing, contrast, EV compensation, Auto Red-eye Removal (Really? Yes: The HP tool automatically recognises red-eye and lets you remove it immediately via your camera’s LCD screen.), saturation, sharpness, white balance. The lens focal range is approximately 0.5 m to infinity (wide), 0.6 m to infinity (telephoto), 0.10 to 1.0 m (macro wide). For the light exposure control: centre-weighted Auto Exposure (AE) metering (default), spot AE Metering, average AE Metering. Colour control seems satisfying: full colour (default), black & white, sepia, colour bracketing, plus that it adds artistic effects and borders right in the camera. You can make up to 2 shots with self timer (User selectable: 2, 5, 10, 20 or 30 sec). Photosmart’s R967 patented technology analyses your photos then offers tips and suggestions on how you might do things differently for even better results next time. This is great for someone who won’t complicate his life with outside of the box shooting. If you intend to dive deeper into photography, I recommend a more flexible camera, with more unlimited possibilities.
