Hi all, First time poster. Long-time (1.5 years) avid user of my HP850. What an awesome camera. I keep looking at "better" cameras and keep coming up short....
" These are both somewhat underrated cameras, in my humble opinion." I agree. The photo press, in particular, tends to be sniffy about them, presumably because...
Did you use these filters for the pictures on your gallery? (are the colors modified with photoshop or "natural" ones?). can you explain the yellow filter...
... I used some of them for the pictures in the "Scenic Shots" gallery. The Circular Polarizer filter is one of the best to use outdoors, especially in sunny...
thanks for your answers. I do use a PL and one UV filter (not sure it really works since it seems to be a copy... i bought all my stuff in china but it still...
OMG, I am blown away by thise beautiful pictures. I just can't believe it. We are newbies to digital camera and not real proficient with 35 mm. Seeing these...
"well.....after we got batteries that worked, etc." If you haven't already, you must get some high capacity NiMh rechargeable batteries (and a charger!)....
I guess I didn't make much sense in my message. We do have two sets of the high power supposedly fast recharge batteries and also the batter charger. For some...
"We do have two sets of the high power supposedly fast recharge batteries" I thought you probably did, but I figured the point was still worth making, as the...
Thank you. I am equipment challenged, but my husband can usually handle a camera ok and I find the shots..smile. Hazel ... "We do have two sets of the high...
Hi, thanks a lot :) I don't know much either but i have been lucky knowing some arts students and having the opportunity to watch their pics, and i am lucky ...
Nico, thank you so very much for this info. Your pictures are breathtaking. It appears that you are a gifted photographer and one can hardly believe that you...
"the camera is not as handy as compact ones, has a slow shutter time and don't focus easily in low light." Really? Are we talking about the 850/945? I accept...
I will agree that the shutter delay is a pain in the butt. I have lots of pictures of the backs of kids heads or an empty frame because the giant swing at the...
I believe the 945 locks in the focus when you push it part way down and it turns green. Remember I am a newbie and mechanically challenged, so what I say is...
"I will agree that the shutter delay is a pain in the butt." Did I say that? As long as you wait for the camera to focus (half-pressed) you can re-compose the...
"I believe the 945 locks in the focus when you push it part way down and it turns green." Indeed - once you've got the hang of that, life gets a lot easier, ...
Thanks. I will add this to my screen info. I didn't realize that I could recompose the picture after the green locks in. I thought the green locked the...
I try to use the prefocus method but life does not always cooperate. Many oportunities are ephemeral and moving children (always toward the camera it seems)...
the easiest to use modifications with photoshop are autolevel/autocontrast (i do try them systematically). you can try to use the HP945's digital flash too,...
To adress the recomendation of a monitor. I believe the best monitor for digital photography is a Sony's 21" CRT.You have to see one, and you won't want...
Thanks, I would love to have a 21 inch monitor. I use a 20 at work and anything less means I am spoiled. I was just about ready to purchase a 19" that was on...
Hello, everyone. I am a new owner of the HP 850 Photosmart, and I'm really pleased to discover this group because I think I'm going to need a lot of help with...
Our regular photos section is full, so why don't you create a folder in the "Files" section called Problem photos and then upload a few photos with the...
When I joined this group yesterday I didn't realise I had the option of adding an album. Now I have done so. Please look at the album entitled Ein Gedi Israel...
Thanks for writing. Just before I saw this message from you, I put photos in an album entitled Ein Gedi Israel. I hope that you have access to this. If not,...
Hi, something is apparently wrong with the "Photos" section - I cannot access it. By the way, do you live in Israel? I do, and, shame on me, haven't yet been...
Thanks for writing. I will build up a file for the site, the way someone already suggested to me. Yes, I do live in Israel. In Jerusalem, in fact. How about...
Sorry, group. I meant to send this message to an individual, not to the entire group. I know how irritating it is when private messages are advertised on the...
I just added a photo called 'Top of Mountain' to the photos section. Please look at it. I feel that it is not the best quality it could be. I used the 'Sun'...
