 | | We found the 618 to be an important addition to the HP PhotoSmart line, as it provides a wider range of exposure options than the 215 and 315 models, and slightly less sophisticated capabilities than the high-end 915 model. |
 | | When set on Auto Focus, the 618 uses a contrast-detection method to focus, and a green LED lamp next to the viewfinder provides a status of the process: It glows steadily when it's finished focusing and flashes when the camera is having trouble focusing. |
 | | The 618 manages to distinguish between the red and magenta color blocks on the middle, horizontal color chart (which is a common problem area for many digicams), and picks up the variations of the Q60 chart all the way to the "B" range. |
