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.

[...] But what if your subject is too far away (like far buildings) and you can’t or just don’t want to try a different angle with the sun behind you? Or what if it is night and a lamp illuminates the place? Will you be pleased with the overexposed lamp due to the long exposure needed in night conditions?
