Installing the Batteries

The HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera uses three AA NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries. It also uses a coin battery for retaining the date and time information. The camera comes with a coin battery (already installed), three NiMH batteries, and an NiMH battery charger.

Installing the Main Batteries

Caution: Use only AA NiMH batteries. Replace all three batteries at the same time. Do not replace the batteries

individually. Always follow instructions on the battery package when handling or disposing of batteries.

To install the main batteries:

Setting Up Your Camera

Checking the B attery Level

The battery icon on the camera’s status LCD indicates the charge level for the main NiMH batteries. There are three levels of battery charge: fully charged, partially charged, and empty. You can purchase additional NiMH batteries from HP’s Shopping Village at www.hpshopping.com

Battery life depends on several f ac tor s. These in cl u de:

• How often and how long you use the color LCD.

• How often you use the flash and zoom.

• The number of photos you take.

• Temperature conditions (operating the camera at colder temperatures results in shorter battery life).

To preserve battery life:

• When using the came ra with a com p ut er or te lev i sio n or wh en us in g th e col or LCD for extended periods of time,

use an AC power adapter that HP has approved for use with the HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera.

www.hpshopping.com, or from your local camera or electronics store.

www.hpshopping.comwww.hpshopping.com

• Limit your use of the color LCD, except when using an AC power adapter.

• Do not leave batteries in the charger for an extended period of time (such as several days).

Charging the Batteries

To make sure your NiMH batteries ar e char ged when you need them, we rec ommend c har gin g them overnight using the battery charger included in the camera package. Once the batteries are fully charged, remove them from the charger.

Note: The batteries reach optimum charge capacity for the first time after they have been drained and charged

four times.

Installing the Memory Card

The “film” used in the HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera is a removable, reusable CompactFlash memory card.

HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera User’s Guide 13

Setting Up Your Camera

The number of photos a memory card can store depends on the memory card’s storage capacity and the settings that you choose for each photo. The number is a conservative estimate, so you might find that you can take more photos than it indicates.

You can also check the status of the memory card using the memory card indicator on the color LCD. For example, you can see from the indicator in the graphic that the memory card is more than half full.

Formatting a Memory Card

Most CompactFlash memory cards are already formatted when you buy them. But if you buy a memory card that has not been formatte d, you need to format it before you can use it in the camera.

To format a memory card:

Sleep Mode

To conserve battery power, the HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera automatically “sleeps” after a period of no activity. This period of time differs depending on the camera mode and the power source. For example, if you are using battery power and you do n ot p ress an y came r a bu tto ns fo r 30 sec on ds, th e color LCD turns itself off and the camera sleeps. The camera also tu rns i tself of f and retrac ts the lens aft er 10 minut es with bat tery powe r, and after 30 minutes with AC adapter power.
