a picture:

1 Frame the subject that you want to photograph in the

viewfinder.

2 Hold the camera steady and press the Shutter

halfway down. The camera automatically adjusts exposure
and focus.

subject or scenery is more than 2 meters away, turn the flash
off and secure the camera to a tripod to prevent blurring the
image. When the flash is turned off, the longer exposure will
make the image brighter.

This camera has an exciting feature called HP Instant Share
This feature lets you select images in the camera to be
automatically processed later when the camera is connected to
your computer or to certain HP printers.

For example, you can select images that you want to have
printed, then connect the camera to the computer or printer,
and the selected images will be printed automatically.

As another example, you can select images in the camera to
be automatically processed by HP’s e-mail service. When the
camera connects to your computer, the selected images are
e-mailed to family, friends, or any e-mail address that you
specify. The details about this are explained later in this
chapter.

When you press the Share
recently taken or reviewed image appears on the image
display, along with any e-mail or print destinations that have
been selected for the image. The buttons allow you to
scroll through the images to see destinations for the other
images in the camera.

The way in which the images are e-mailed works differently on
Windows and Macintosh computers.

Images are not e-mailed directly to anyone. Rather, a message
is sent to each e-mail address that you selected in the Share
menu. The message contains a thumbnail of each of the
images that were selected for that address, as well as a link to
a web page where the recipient can view the images. From that
web page, the recipient can do things like reply to you or print
the image. This makes it easy for people who use different
e-mail programs to be able to see your images without the
difficulty of dealing with e-mail attachments.

PURPOSE. Some countries, states or provinces do not allow
limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so the above
limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights and you might also have other rights that
vary from country to country, state to state, or province to province.

Appendix A: Batteries
and accessories

Managing batteries

When the batteries are removed from the camera, the date and
time settings are preserved for approximately ten minutes. If the
camera is without batteries for longer than ten minutes, the
clock is set to the last time and date at which it stopped. You
might be prompted to update the date and time.

NOTE If you do not intend to use the camera for extended

periods of time (more than a month), we strongly

recommend that you remove the batteries from the

camera.

The following battery levels are visible on the image display.

Level Icon Description
Full Batteries have 30-100% remaining
Partially

Rechargeable batteries

NiMH batteries can be recharged by using a battery charger
or optional HP Camera Dock (both purchased separately).
Rechargeable batteries might be used either by recharging
outside the camera in a charger, or in the camera by
connecting to the dock or using the AC adapter. Both of these
accessories are optional.

NOTE Rechargeable batteries have a longer life if they are

fully discharged before charging occurs.

Power conservation

To conserve battery power, the image display turns off
automatically if there is no button activity for 60 seconds. If no
buttons are pressed for five minutes, the camera turns off
(unless it is printing or connected to a computer).

NOTE If the camera is connected to an AC adapter, power

conservation occurs after ten minutes.
