Remove red-eye with your HP digital camera

HP digital cameras offer a couple of different solutions: in-camera red-eye removal and automatic in-camera red-eye removal. These are part of HP’s Real Life technologies—features that make it easy to take great pictures.

Automatic in-camera red-eye removal
This revolutionary new feature allows you to set your camera control to remove red-eye before you take your photo.

HP’s R-series cameras—like the HP Photosmart R727 and R927 digital cameras feature automatic in-camera red-eye removal.

In-camera red-eye removal
HP’s R-series and M-series digital cameras, such as the HP Photosmart M527 and M425 let you manually remove red-eye from a previously taken photo in just a few steps. You can review your photos on your camera’s LCD screen and remove red-eye instantly without having to download the images to a computer or printer.

HP was the first camera manufacturer in the world to feature in-camera red-eye removal, now standard on all M-series and R-series digital cameras.

How to prevent red-eye

Here are some reliable tips for avoiding red-eye in the first place:

• Whenever possible, try not to use a flash. If you have to use a flash, ask your subject to look toward the camera, but not directly at the lens.
• Use additional light sources in the room.
• Take pictures during the day.
• Stand farther away from your subject.
