Digital zoom  
In digital zoom, the Image Display shows a yellow frame around the scene and the image  
quality setting (MP value). As you zoom in, the scene expands to show what the camera  
will capture, and the MP value decreases to indicate the resolution at which the scene  
will be captured.  
When capturing images using digital zoom, make sure that the MP value on the Image  
Display is appropriate for the size at which you want to print the captured image. For MP  
values and their recommended print sizes, see Image Quality under “Using the Picture  
TIP: The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more small movements  
of the camera are magnified (this is called camera shake). To reduce potential blur  
caused by these movements, hold the camera still, add more light to the scene, or  
steady the camera by holding it closer to your body or against a steady object, or by  
setting it on a tripod or stable surface.

3 Setting options for taking  
pictures and recording video  
clips  
Your camera's default settings work well for most shooting situations. For some  
situations, however, the features described in this chapter can improve the pictures you  
take and the video clips you record. In addition to setting features that optimize the camera  
for lighting and motion, you can also set the camera to take a series of pictures rapidly  
or take images 10 seconds after you press the Shutter button, giving you time to place  
yourself in the image.  
Setting the flash  
To select a flash setting, press while in  
desired flash mode, then press . To exit without changing the flash setting,  
press  
Picture Capture, use  
to highlight the  
.
Auto Flash (Default)—The camera uses the flash if necessary.  
Red-Eye—The camera uses the flash with red-eye reduction, if necessary, to minimize  
the possibility of human eyes appearing red in the final image. For information about  
Flash On—The camera always uses flash. If the light is behind your subject, use this  
setting to increase the light on the front of your subject.  
Flash Off—The camera does not use flash. Use this setting to capture poorly lit subjects  
beyond the flash range or to capture scenes with the existing light.  
The flash setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or you turn off the camera.  
NOTE: The flash is set to  
Flash Off in  
Landscape,  
Sunset, and  
Burst. The  
Theatre shooting modes, and while recording video clips or using  
flash is set to  
Red-Eye in  
Night Portrait shooting mode.  
Flash Setting—Red-Eye  
The red-eye phenomenon is caused when light from the flash reflects off the subjects'  
eyes, which can make human eyes appear red in the captured image. Using Red-  
Eye causes the camera to flash quickly up to three times to shrink the subject's pupils  
(reducing the effect of the red-eye phenomenon) before using the main flash and  
capturing the image. Since it takes longer to take a picture using this setting, make sure  
your subjects wait for the additional flashes.

5 Transferring and printing images  
Regularly transferring images to your computer and deleting them from the memory card  
will reduce the time it takes to turn on your camera, to review images, and to transfer  
images. You can transfer pictures and video clips with or without the HP Photosmart  
Software that came with your camera. However, the HP Photosmart Software has several  
features for transferring and managing your images and also guides you through the  
transfer process.  
NOTE: Transferring a large number of high-resolution images from a memory card  
to your computer may take up to two hours. Even if your Image Display turns off during  
the transfer process or it appears that nothing is happening on the computer, do not  
disconnect your camera from your computer until your computer indicates that image  
transfer is complete. When transferring a large number of images, be sure your  
camera batteries are fully charged or use an optional HP Photosmart dock or memory  
card reader.  
Transferring images with HP Photosmart Software  
If you have installed the HP Photosmart Software (see “Install the software” on page 6),  
use this method to transfer images and video clips to your computer.  
When you connect your camera to a computer with the HP Photosmart Software installed:  
If you have tagged images as Favorites (see “Tagging images as Favorites”  
on page 15), the tags are transferred with the images to your computer.  
If you have marked images for printing (see “Marking images for printing”  
on page 21) and the computer is connected to a printer, the marked images are  
automatically printed.  
If you have marked images for sharing (see “Sharing images” on page 23) and the  
computer is connected to the Internet, the selected images are automatically sent to  
their destinations.  
If you have marked images to buy as prints (see “Buying prints online”  
on page 23) and the computer is connected to the Internet, you can follow the  
instructions on the computer screen to buy prints of those images you selected.  
You can transfer the images on the camera to the computer by following the  
instructions on the computer screen.  
TIP: You can also perform these tasks using an optional HP Photosmart dock (see  
the documentation that came with your dock).  
To transfer images using the HP Photosmart software:  
1. If you have marked images for sharing, printing, or buying prints online (see “Using  
HP Photosmart Express” on page 21), verify that the computer is connected to a  
printer and/or the Internet.  
2. Turn off the camera.

3. Connect the camera and computer using the USB  
cable that came with your camera.  
4. Turn on the camera. When the Image Display  
indicates that the camera is connected to the  
computer, follow the instructions on the computer  
screen. For more information, see the Help feature  
in the HP Photosmart Software.  
NOTE: If the camera does not successfully  
connect to the computer, see “My camera stalls  
After you have transferred the images, you can then use the HP Photosmart Software to  
edit, print, or send the images from your computer.  
Transferring images without HP Photosmart Software  
If you do not install the HP Photosmart Software:  
You cannot use the Share features or  
Buy Prints Online on the camera's  
Photosmart Express Menu (see “Using HP Photosmart Express”  
Images marked for printing do not automatically print when the camera is connected  
to the computer.  
Favorites tags do not transfer to the computer.  
However, you can still transfer images and video clips to your computer by:  
Connecting your camera directly to the computer (see “Connecting to the  
Using a memory card reader (see “Using a memory card reader” on page 19)  
Connecting to the computer  
1. Turn off the camera, connect the camera and computer using the USB cable that  
came with your camera, then turn on the camera. Your computer's provided image  
transfer software should start. Follow the on-screen instructions to transfer your  
images.  
2. When you have finished transferring images, disconnect the camera from the  
computer.  
If you encounter problems, set the camera’s  
USB Configuration to Disk Drive  
(see USB Configuration under “Using the Camera Setup Menu” on page 25) and  
reconnect to your computer.  
NOTE: On Macintosh computers, if you set the camera to Disk Drive and neither  
Image Capture nor iPhoto starts automatically, look on the desktop for a disk drive  
icon labeled with your camera model number and copy the images manually. For  
more information about how to copy files, visit Mac help.

Using a memory card reader  
You can put your camera’s optional memory card into a (separately purchased) memory  
card reader. Some computers and HP Photosmart printers have built-in memory card  
slots which act as a memory card reader.

A Managing batteries  
Your camera uses two AA batteries, either Alkaline, Photo Lithium, or rechargeable Nickel Metal  
Hydride (NiMH). Photo Lithium and NiMH batteries provide longer battery life than Alkaline batteries.  
Top points about batteries  
The batteries shipped with your camera are AA Alkaline. These batteries have a short life and  
are intended to let you begin using your camera immediately. When the camera warns that the  
battery charge is low (see “Power indicators” on page 34), HP recommends replacing them  
with Photo Lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries for longer battery life.  
Fully charge NiMH batteries before using them for the first time.  
The first several times you recharge NiMH batteries, they may not provide the number of shots  
per charge that you expect. Their performance will improve after the batteries have been  
charged, then discharged completely four or five times. You can use the camera normally to  
discharge the batteries during this conditioning period.  
Always insert the batteries in the camera correctly (see “Install the batteries” on page 4). If the  
batteries are inserted improperly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not  
operate.  
If you do not intend to use your camera for more than one month, remove the batteries from the  
camera.  
The performance of all batteries will decrease as the temperature drops. To improve battery  
performance, store the camera and batteries in a warm inside pocket when in a cold  
environment. To prevent short-circuiting the batteries, never carry small metal items such as  
keys or coins in the same pocket with your batteries.  
Extending battery life  
To conserve battery power, the Image Display turns off after a period of inactivity. Pressing any  
button wakes up the camera. After five minutes of inactivity, the camera turns off.  
To further extend battery life:  
Set  
Display Brightness to Low (see Display Brightness under “Using the Camera Setup  
Set your camera to  
Auto Flash (see Auto Flash under “Setting the flash” on page 10).  
Use video recording sparingly.  
Use Image Display sparingly.  
When transferring or printing images, place your camera in an optional HP Photosmart dock  
connected to AC power.  
Safety precautions for using batteries  
Always use two identical batteries of the same chemistry, brand, and age.  
Do not place batteries in fire or heat them. Always store charged batteries in a cool location.  
Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to each other with any metal  
object.  
Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects. Do not drop batteries into a change-filled  
pocket.  
Do not pierce batteries or subject them to strong impacts or shocks.  
Do not solder directly onto batteries.  
Do not allow batteries to get wet.  
Do not disassemble or modify batteries.

Appendix A  
Immediately discontinue use of a battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the  
battery emits an unusual smell, feels excessively hot (note that it is normal for the battery to feel  
warm), changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.  
In the event batteries leak and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with  
water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage  
to the eye.  
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used  
batteries according to the instructions.  
Power indicators  
When the batteries are low or the camera is in a dock connected to AC power, one of the following  
icons appears in the Image Display. If no battery icon appears in the Image Display, the batteries  
have sufficient power to function normally.
