Congratulations on your purchase of the HP Photosmart
M22/M23 digital camera and welcome to the world of
digital photography!
This manual explains camera features you can use to ensure
great results while enjoying the photographic experience.
Some of these features are:
• Weather-resistant, all-metal case—Take the camera
confidently with you almost anywhere, in many types of
weather conditions. Splashes will not damage the camera
and the all-metal case is additional protection. See
page 163.
•HP adaptive lighting technology—Automatically bring out
details lost in shadows. See
• In-camera red-eye removal—Identify and remove red
eyes. See
• 9 shooting modes (including Panorama)—Choose a
preset shooting mode for best exposure for common
picture scenes. Use Panorama to capture up to five
consecutive pictures and preview them as a full panorama
on your camera. Then merge them into one wide image
on the computer. See
•HP Image Advice—Provides tips to help you take better
photos. See page 72.

•HP Instant Share—Easily select still images in your
camera to be automatically sent to a variety of
destinations such as e-mail addresses, web pages, or a
printer the next time the camera is connected to a
computer. Your recipients can then view the images
without the burden of large file attachments. See
page 77.
• Direct print—Print directly from your camera to any
PictBridge-certified printer without having to connect to
your computer. See page 89.
•On-camera Help—Use on-screen instructions for help on
using cameras features when you don’t have the manual
with you. See
page 28.
To further enhance your experience, you
can purchase an HP Photosmart
M-series dock. The camera dock allows
you to easily transfer images to a
computer, send images to a printer, view
images on a television, and recharge Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) batteries in your camera. The dock also provides a
convenient home for your camera.
NOTE: A dock insert is included in your
camera box which enables your
camera to use the HP Photosmart
M-series camera dock. Please do not
use the dock insert without the camera dock and do not
discard it. See the HP Photosmart M-series Dock User’s Manual for instructions on attaching the dock insert to the
camera dock.
