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 7 shooting modes,

HP Instant Share, direct printing capability, manual and

automatic controls, on-camera 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 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

or television, and recharge Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)

batteries in your camera. The dock also provides a convenient

home for your camera.

Chapter 1: Getting Started 11

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 and from one

battery type 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 129.

NOTE You can also use an optional HP AC power adapter to

power the camera. If you use rechargeable NiMH

batteries, you can recharge the batteries in the camera

using the optional HP AC power adapter or optional

HP Photosmart M-series dock, or recharge the batteries

separately in the optional HP Photosmart Quick

Recharger. For more information, see Appendix B:

Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 139.

Installing a Memory Card (Optional)

If you do not have an optional memory card to install, skip this

section and go on to the next section, Turning on Power on

page 12.

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 145.

When you install a memory card in the camera, all new

images and video clips will be stored on the card. The

camera’s internal memory is only used when there is no

memory card in the camera.

1With the Battery/Memory card door

open, insert the memory card in the

small slot below the batteries, with

way; do not force it. Make sure the

memory card snaps into place.

2Close the Battery/Memory card door

by pushing the door down and

sliding the door toward the top of the

camera until the door latches.

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.
