HP Photosmart R507/R607 User’s Manual

Chapter 1: Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of this HP Photosmart digital camera! This camera has many features to enhance your picture-taking experience, including HP Adaptive Lighting Technology, in-camera red-eye removal, 8 shooting modes (including Panorama), HP Image Advice, HP Instant Share direct printing capability, manual and automatic controls, oncamera Help, and an optional camera dock.

With HP Instant Share, you can easily select images in your camera to be automatically sent to your favorite destinations (such as e-mail addresses and online albums) the next time you connect the camera to your computer. Your friends and family can easily receive and view your pictures in e-mail without being burdened by large file attachments. And with the direct printing capability, you can easily select images in your camera to be automatically printed the next time you connect the camera to your computer or directly to any HP Photosmart printer or PictBridge-compatible printer without ever connecting to your computer.

To further enhance your experience, you may purchase an HP Photosmart R-series dock. The camera dock allows you to easily transfer images to a computer, send images to a printer or television, and recharge the camera’s battery plus a spare. The dock also provides a convenient home for your camera.

Chapter 1: Getting Started 11

Setup

NOTE To locate a part on your camera (such as a button or a

light) while following the instructions in this section, see

Camera Parts on page 21.

Installing the Camera Dock Insert (Optional)

If you buy the HP Photosmart R-series dock, you will notice one or more clear dock inserts included in the box with the dock. When setting up the dock for use with this camera, make sure you use the dock insert that has the BLUE sticker on it. Follow the instructions in the dock User’s Manual to connect the dock insert to the camera dock.

Attaching the Wrist Strap

Attach the wrist strap to the mount on the side of the camera as shown.

12 HP Photosmart R507/R607 User’s Manual

Installing a Memory Card (Optional)

NOTE If you do not have a memory card, skip this section and

go on to the next section, Installing the Battery on page 14.

Your camera contains internal memory that allows you to store images and video clips. However, you can use a memory card (purchased separately) instead to store images and video clips. For more information about supported memory cards, see

Storage on page 167.

When you install a memory card in the camera, all new images and video clips are stored on the card. The camera’s internal memory is only used when there is no memory card in the camera.

1 Hold the camera with the bottom facing

up, as shown, and slide the Battery/ Memory card door latch to open the Battery/Memory card door.

2 With the back of the camera

facing up, insert the memory card in the smaller slot with the notched side of the card going in first, as shown. Make sure the memory card snaps into place.

3 Leave the Battery/Memory card

door open and go on to the next section, Installing the

Battery on page 14.

To remove the memory card from the camera, first turn the camera off. Then open the Battery/Memory card door, press down on the top edge of the memory card, and it will spring outward from the slot.

Chapter 1: Getting Started 13

Installing the Battery

Your camera uses a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 lithium ion battery (L1812A).

NOTE The battery that was shipped with your camera is

partially charged, but you should fully charge it before using it the first time. You can charge the battery while it is in the camera. See Charging the Battery on page 16.

1 If the Battery/Memory card door is already open, skip this

step and go on to step 2.

Hold the camera with the bottom facing up, as shown, and slide the Battery/ Memory card door latch to open the Battery/Memory card door.

2 Insert the battery in the larger slot

as shown, and push it in until the latch catches.

3 Close the Battery/Memory card

door on the bottom of the camera by pushing the door down until it snaps closed.

To remove the battery from the camera, first turn the camera off. Then open the Battery/Memory card door, release the battery latch, tilt the camera, and the battery will slide out of its slot.

14 HP Photosmart R507/R607 User’s Manual

Attaching the Ferrite to the AC Adapter Cord

A ferrite is included in the box with your camera. This ferrite prevents your camera from emitting radio frequency energy that might interfere with the reception of your radio, television, or other electronic devices which might be near the camera. The ferrite will not degrade the performance or safety of the camera.

Attach the ferrite to the thin HP AC adapter cord (the cord that attaches to the camera, not the cord that attaches to the wall) in the following way:

1 Wrap the cord around the

ferrite so that the cord passes through the ferrite three times (as shown here).

2 Adjust the cord so that the edge of the ferrite is 10 cm

(4 inches) from the end of the connector that connects to the camera (or camera dock).

3 Close the ferrite so that it

snaps snugly into place around the cord.

Chapter 1: Getting Started 15

Charging the Battery

NOTE This section tells how to charge a battery in the camera.

You can also charge the battery in the extra battery bay of the camera dock or in the HP Photosmart Quick Recharger (see Appendix B: Purchasing Camera

Accessories on page 161).

1 Plug the power cord into the HP AC adapter. If more than

one power cord is in the box, use the cord that is appropriate for power outlets in your country. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet.

2 Open the small rubber

door on the side of the camera.

3 Attach the thin cord from

the AC adapter to the power adapter connector

on the side of the camera as shown.The Power light on the top of the camera will start blinking to show that the battery is charging.

The rechargeable lithium ion battery will usually charge fully in 4-6 hours. When the Power light stops blinking, the battery is fully charged, and you can then unplug the power adapter from the camera. You can continue to use the camera while the battery is being charged by the power adapter.

NOTE The camera may get warm while it is charging the

battery, as well as after prolonged use under battery power. This is normal.

16 HP Photosmart R507/R607 User’s Manual

NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than

film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on what modes the camera is being used in most frequently. For hints on optimizing battery performance, see

Appendix A: Managing Batteries on page 151.

Turning on Power

Turn the camera on by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the right and then releasing it.

The lens extends and the Power light on the top of the camera turns on solid green.

Setting the Date and Time

The camera has a clock that records the date and time at which you take each picture. This information is recorded in the image properties, which you can see when viewing the image in the Image Info screen (page 81), in the Playback menu screen (page 75), or on your computer. You can also choose to have the date and time imprinted on the visible image (see

Date & Time Imprint on page 67).

The first time you turn the camera on, a

Date & Time screen appears after you

choose the language, prompting you to set the date and time.

selection using the buttons.

2 Press the buttons to move to the other selections. 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the correct date/time format,

date, and time are set.

proper values for the date and time. A confirmation screen appears, asking if the correct date and time have been set.

5 If the date and time are correct, press the Menu/OK button

to select Yes.

If the date and time are incorrect, press the button to highlight No, and then press the Menu/OK button. The

Date & Time screen appears again. Repeat steps 1 through
