Some digital camera tips:
* usually the shutter button is two stage.  Pressing halfway down engages the autofocus.  Pressing it all the way snaps the picture.  The trick is to not rush right into the snapping of the picture, but to be patient and let the auto focus do its job first.  When it works right, it usually sounds a certain beeping sound and/or displays little lights to let you know its ready.  Sometimes the focus doesn't work, and makes a different sound and lights to let you know that, too.  In this case, let off the shutter button and try the autofocusing again.

* some digital cameras (not sure about HP... but I know on some canons) have a special mode that you have to select to do close up pictures, like getting detailed pics of small parts.  A common icon for this looks like a flower or tulip flower.  Read you manual about what you need to do to get your camera into close-up mode.  When this mode works right, you'll love the quality you can record of car parts. :)

Hehe... practice your photos and get enough enough at them, and we might need to pitch into a new keyboard fund for you. :wink:

What is that spooky green light?

my Volvo came with the lenses

RED
CLEAR
AMBER
RED

clear is reverse
amber is turn and/or park
lower red  is dim for tails, bright for brakes

For the longest time i couldn't figure out the upper reds...
'Rear fogs' come on bright as tails, but only with the low beams engaged and the dash switch on.

They are the best for tailgaiters (second only to smokescreen)

Oddly, every bulb on the car is a dual element 1157 bulb, but the lower red tails are the ONLY ones that use the dual element feature.
