Focusing the Camera
The focus brackets in the Live View screen show the focus
region for the still picture you are taking or the video clip you
press the Shutter button halfway down to take a still picture,
the camera automatically measures and locks the focus and
exposure in the focus region. The focus brackets in the Live
View screen turn green when the camera has found and
locked the focus and exposure. This is called auto focus.
Obtaining Optimum Focus and
Exposure
When you have the camera set to any of the shooting modes
other than Macro
page 42), the camera will attempt to auto focus. However,
when the camera cannot focus in these shooting modes, the
focus brackets in Live View turn red. This indicates that the
picture may be out of focus either because the camera had
difficulty focusing on the subject or because the focus range
is too close. The camera will still take the picture, but you
should release the Shutter button, then try re-framing the
subject of your picture and pressing the Shutter button
halfway down. If the focus brackets are still red, release the
Shutter button.
• If the camera had difficulty focusing on the subject
because of low contrast, try using focus lock (see Using
• If the subject is too close (less than 50 cm or 20 in), either
move farther away from the subject you are trying to
photograph, or set the camera to the Macro

When you press the Shutter button, the camera also
measures the light level to set the proper exposure. If the
camera determines there is not enough light and the camera
will require a very long exposure, the icon of a shaking hand
appears in the Live View screen.
• Try turning on more light, if that is possible.
• If none of these solutions are possible, you can still take
the picture, but you should set the camera on a tripod or
stable surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.
If the camera is set to the Macro
shooting mode and the
camera cannot auto focus, the Live View screen displays an
error message and the focus brackets flash red. In these
cases, the camera will not take the picture.
• If the subject for the picture is not within the Macro range
(20 to 50 cm or 8 to 20 in), either move the camera
within the Macro range or set the camera to a shooting
mode other than Macro
(see Using the Shooting
• If the icon of a shaking hand
appears in the Live View
screen, try one of the techniques listed above for scenes
requiring a long exposure time.

Using Focus Lock
Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the
center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly
by pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You
can also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or
low contrast situations.
1. Frame the subject for your
picture, or a higher contrast or
brighter object, within the focus
brackets.
2. Press the Shutter button halfway
down to lock the focus and
exposure.

a portion of the scene in the Image Display. As you zoom in,
a yellow frame surrounds the portion of the scene you want
to capture, allowing you to eliminate unwanted portions of
the scene.
1. While in Live View, press the
button (Zoom In icon)
to enter digital zoom.
2. Continue to press Zoom In
until a yellow frame surrounds
the area of the image you want
to capture. If you zoom in too far
and want to zoom out, press the
button (Zoom Out
to enlarge the selection.
icon)
The resolution number on the right side of the screen also
becomes smaller as you digitally zoom. For example,
2.2MP appears in place of 4MP, indicating that the
image is being reduced to a size of 2.2 Megapixels.
3. When the image is at the desired size, press the Shutter
button halfway down to lock focus and exposure, and
then press it all the way down to take the picture.
4. To turn digital zoom off, press the
button (Zoom Out
icon) until the yellow frame disappears.
NOTE: Digital zoom reduces the resolution of an image, so
your picture will tend to be more pixilated or grainy than
images taken without zoom. In situations where you need
higher quality (such as for printing), limit the use of digital
zoom.
NOTE: Digital zoom is not available in Panorama mode nor
while recording video clips.

Flash On The camera always uses flash. If the light is behind your
subject, you can use this setting to increase the light on
the front of your subject. This is called fill-flash.
Flash Off The camera will not use flash, no matter the lighting
conditions. Use this setting to capture poorly lit subjects
that are beyond the flash range. Exposure times may
be increased when using this setting, so you should use
a tripod to avoid blurry pictures from camera shake.
Night
The camera uses the flash with red-eye reduction if
necessary to illuminate objects in the foreground (see
reduction). The camera then continues to expose as if
the flash had not been used, to gather the light.
Exposure times may be increased when using this
setting; therefore, you should use a tripod or set the
camera on a stable surface to avoid camera shake.
NOTE: The flash is not available in Panorama and Sunset
modes nor is it available while recording video clips.

Red Eye
The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash
reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a
human’s eyes appear red or an animal’s eyes appear green
or white in the captured image. When you use a flash setting
with red-eye reduction, the camera flashes quickly up to three
times to minimize the subject’s pupils, thus reducing the effect
of the red-eye phenomenon, before the camera uses the main
flash. It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye
reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional
flashes. Therefore, make sure your subjects wait for the
additional flashes.
TIP: You can also remove red-eyes in pictures you have

Using the Shooting Modes
Shooting modes use a pre-defined set of camera settings that
are optimized for taking still pictures of certain scene types to
give you better results. In each shooting mode, the camera
selects the best settings, such as the ISO speed, F-number
(aperture), and shutter speed, optimizing them for the
particular scene or situation.
NOTE: The shooting mode does not apply when you are
recording video clips.
To change the shooting mode, press the MODE button on the
back of the camera until the desired shooting mode appears
on the Image Display. The following table describes each of
the shooting mode settings on the camera.
Setting
Description
Auto
Mode
Use Auto Mode when you need to take a good shot
quickly, and do not have time to select a special
shooting mode on the camera. Auto Mode works well
for most shots in normal situations. The camera
automatically selects the best F-number (aperture), ISO
speed, and shutter speed for the scene.
Macro
Action
Use Macro mode to take close-up pictures of subjects
less than 50 cm (20 in) away. In this mode, auto focus
has a distance range of 20 to 50 cm (8 to 20 in), and
the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus
Use Action mode to capture sporting events, moving
cars, or any scene where you want to stop the action.
The camera uses fast shutter speeds and higher ISO
speeds to stop motion.

Description
Portrait Use Portrait mode for pictures that have one or more
people as their primary subject. The camera combines
a smaller F-number to blur the background, with lower
sharpness for a more natural effect.
Landscape Use Landscape mode to capture scenes with deep
perspective, such as mountains or city skylines, when
you want the foreground and the background to be in
focus. The camera combines a higher F-number for
better depth of field with higher saturation for a more
vivid effect.
Panorama Use Panorama mode for grand landscapes, such as
mountain ranges, or group pictures where you want to
capture a wide shot that one image cannot capture.
This mode allows you to shoot a series of overlapping
frames for stitching into one, large panoramic image
using the HP Image Zone software. Flash is set to Flash

using the Preview Panorama option in the Playback
Beach
Use Beach mode to capture scenes at the beach. This
mode allows you to capture bright beach scenes, with
a good balance of highlights and shadows.
Snow
Use Snow mode to capture scenes in snow. This mode
allows you to capture bright snow scenes, preserving
the correct brightness of the snow.
Sunset
Use Sunset mode to capture outdoor scenes at sunset.
This mode starts the focus at infinity and sets the flash
to Flash Off. This mode improves the saturation of
sunset colors and retains the warmth of the scene with
a bias towards the orange colors of the sunset.

Using Panorama Mode
Panorama mode allows you to take a sequence of 2–5
pictures that can be stitched together in order to capture a
scene too wide to fit into a single picture. In Panorama
mode, you take a picture as the first in the panoramic
sequence, and each subsequent picture you take is added to
the panorama until you end the sequence by pressing the
button, or until you have taken the fifth picture in the
sequence. You can then preview a low-resolution image of
your panorama with the Preview Panorama Menu option in
images in the panoramic sequence to your computer for
automatic stitching together and then viewing or printing.
NOTE: Digital zoom is not available in Panorama mode.

4MP
Images will be full resolution and have medium
compression. This setting produces high quality
images, but uses less memory than the 4MP Best
setting above. This is the default setting and is
recommended if you plan to print images up to a size
of 210 by 297 mm (8.5 by 11 in).

2MP
Description
Images will be half resolution and have medium
quality and compression. This is a memory-efficient
setting and is recommended if you plan to print
images up to a size of 130 by 180 mm (5 by 7 in).
VGA
Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and
have medium compression. This is the most memory-
efficient setting, but produces lower quality images.
This setting is good for images you want to send via
e-mail or post to the Internet.
The Image Quality setting affects both the quality of the
images and the number of images that can be stored either
in the camera’s internal memory or on an optional memory
card. For example, the 4MP Best setting results in the highest
quality images, but consumes more memory space than the
next lower setting, 4MP. Likewise, many more still images can
be stored in memory at the 2MP or VGA settings than at
4MP; however, these settings result in lower quality images.

Adaptive Lighting
This setting balances the relationship between bright and
dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but
reducing harsh contrasts. Dark areas in the picture are
lightened, while brighter areas are left alone. When used
with a flash, Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a
flash wouldn't reach. Here is an example of how Adaptive
Lighting can enhance an image:
Without Adaptive Lighting:
With Adaptive Lighting:
Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these:
• Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade
• Cloudy days when there is a lot of glare from the sky
• Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or
even out the effect of the flash)
• Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the
regular flash to reach, or is severely backlit (for example,
in front of a window)
You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without the flash, but it
is not recommended as a replacement for the flash. Unlike
the flash, Adaptive Lighting does not affect exposure settings,
so brightened areas may appear noisy or grainy, and indoor
or night images may be blurry if taken without a flash or a
tripod.

EV Compensation
In difficult lighting conditions, you can use EV (Exposure
Value) Compensation to override the automatic exposure
setting that the camera makes.
EV Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light
objects (like a white object against a light background) or
many dark objects (like a black object against a dark
background). Scenes containing many light objects or
many dark objects could turn out gray without the use of
EV Compensation. For a scene with many light objects,
increase the EV Compensation to a positive number to
produce a brighter result. For a scene with many dark
objects, decrease the EV Compensation to darken the scene
to be closer to black.

White Balance
Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For

whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust
the white balance to produce creative effects. For example,
using the Sun setting can produce a warmer look to the

Resetting the Camera
If your camera does not respond when you press any
buttons, try resetting the camera as follows:
1. Turn off the camera.
2. If you have an optional memory card installed, remove it.
(Although removing an optional memory card is not
necessary for performing the reset, it eliminates the
memory card as a possible cause of the problem.)
3. Remove all power (batteries and AC power) from the
camera for at least 5 seconds.
4. Reinsert the batteries and close the Battery/Memory card
door, and/or reconnect the HP AC power adapter to the
camera.
5. After verifying that the camera works without an optional
memory card, reinsert the card if you have one.

HP Instant Share to e-mail images to addresses you specify
(including distribution lists), create online albums, or print
images automatically when you connect your camera to your
computer. You can also transfer and print stitched panorama
Computer System Requirements
NOTE: The system requirements in this section apply only to
computers using the Windows operating system.
Depending on your computer’s system configuration, the
installation process installs either the full version of the
HP Image Zone software, the HP Image Zone Express
version, or no HP Image Zone software.
• If your computer has Windows 2000 or XP and 128MB
of RAM or more, the installation process installs the full
version of the HP Image Zone software.
• If your computer has Windows 2000 or XP and between
64MB and 128MB of RAM, the installation process
installs the HP Image Zone Express software. See
• If your computer has Windows 98, 98 SE, or ME and at
least 64MB of RAM, the installation process installs the
HP Image Zone Express software.
• If your computer has less than 64MB of RAM, you cannot
install the HP Image Zone software. You can still use your
camera, but you will not be able to use the HP Instant

HP Image Zone Express
(Windows Only)
HP Image Zone Express allows you to transfer images from
your camera to your computer. However, it lacks several
features contained in the full version.
• You cannot use the HP Image Zone Express software with
any of the HP Instant Share features on the camera. You
cannot, for example, select images to print and then use
the HP Image Zone software to print those images
automatically. You can, however, select images to print in
the HP Instant Share Menu on the camera and then print
directly to a printer (see Printing Images Directly from the
Share features available in the HP Image Zone Express
software itself.
• Any images taken in Panorama mode will not be
automatically stitched together when they are transferred
to the computer. Instead, you must transfer the images in
the panorama unstitched and then use a separately
purchased panorama stitching software package to stitch
them together.
• You can transfer video clips to your computer using
HP Image Zone Express. However, you must view them
using another viewer software package.

Using Your Camera without
Installing the HP Image Zone
Software
If you do not, or cannot, install the HP Image Zone software
(neither the full version nor HP Image Zone Express) for some
reason, you can still use your camera to take pictures and
video clips. However, some of the things you can do with the
camera will be affected:
• The HP Instant Share feature on your camera depends on
the full version of the HP Image Zone software. If the full
version of the software is not installed on your computer,
you will not be able to use the HP Instant Share feature on
the camera.
• The Panorama shooting mode on the camera uses the full
version of the HP Image Zone software to automatically
stitch images together in the computer. Therefore, if the
full version of the software is not installed on your
computer, images taken in Panorama mode will not be
automatically stitched into a panorama when you transfer
the images to your computer. However, you can still use
Panorama mode in the camera to take sequences of
pictures that you want to make into a panoramic image
later. You will simply need to use some other image
stitching software to create the panorama on your
computer.

• Images you have marked for printing using the HP Instant
Share Menu on the camera will not automatically print out
when the camera is connected to the computer. However,
this feature will still work in the following scenarios:
• When you connect the camera directly to a PictBridge-
certified printer.
• If your PictBridge-certified printer has a memory card
slot in it, and if you are using a memory card in your
camera, you can simply remove the memory card from
the camera and insert it in the memory card slot in the
printer.
• The process for transferring images and video clips from
the camera to your computer will be different, since
normally the HP Image Zone software handles this task.
See the following section for details.
Transferring Images to a Computer
without HP Image Zone Software
NOTE: If you have a Windows Me, 2000, or XP system, or a
Mac OS X system, you do not need to read this section.
Simply connect the camera to your computer with the USB
cable, and the operating system will launch a program to
help you transfer images (check that your camera USB
Configuration in the Setup Menu is set to Digital Camera,
then simply connect the camera to your computer directly
or via the optional M-series dock).
If you do not, or cannot, install HP Image Zone on your
computer, there are two ways to transfer images from your
camera to the computer: using a memory card reader, or
configuring the camera as a disk drive.

Using a Memory Card Reader
If you are using a memory card in your camera, you can
simply remove it from the camera and put it in a memory
card reader (purchased separately). The memory card
reader acts just like a floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive. In
addition, some computers and HP Photosmart printers have
memory card slots built into them, and you can use these
memory card slots as you would use a regular memory card
reader to save images to the computer.
Transferring Images to a Windows Computer Using a
Memory Card Reader
1. Remove the memory card from your camera and insert it
into the memory card reader (or the memory card slot in
your computer or printer).
2. Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop,
then select Explore from the menu.
3. A screen appears that shows a list of disk drives under My
Computer. The memory card shows up as a removable
disk drive. Click on the + sign just to the left of the
removable disk.
4. Two directories (folders) appear under the removable
disk. Click on the + sign next to the folder called DCIM,
and a subdirectory for your camera should appear.
When you click on the subdirectory under DCIM, the list
of your images should appear on the right side of the
Explorer screen.
NOTE: You may have more than one folder in your DCIM
directory. If you cannot locate the images, check all the
folders in the DCIM directory.
5. Select all the images (in the Edit pull-down menu click on
Select All), then copy them (in the Edit menu click on
Copy).

6. Click on the Local Disk under My Computer. You are now
working in your computer’s hard disk drive.
7. Create a new folder under Local Disk (go to the File pull-
down menu and click on New, then click on Folder. A
folder called New Folder appears in the right side of the
Explorer screen). While the text of this new folder is
highlighted, you can type in a new name (for example,
Pictures). To change the name of the folder later, you can
simply right-click on the folder name, choose Rename
from the menu that appears, then type in the new name.
8. Click on the new folder you just created, then go to the
Edit pull-down menu and click on Paste.
9. The images you copied in Step 5 are pasted into this new
folder on your computer’s hard drive. To verify that the
images were successfully transferred from the memory
card, click on the new folder. You should see the same list
of files in that folder that you saw when you looked at
them on the memory card (Step 4).
10. When you have verified that the images were
successfully transferred from the memory card to your
computer, put the card back in your camera. To free up
space on the card, you can either delete the images or
format the card (under the Delete option in the Playback
Menu in the camera).
NOTE: It is recommended that you format the card rather
than delete the images because it will help prevent
corrupted images or cards.

Transferring Images to a Macintosh Computer Using a
Memory Card Reader
1. Remove the memory card from your camera and insert it
into the memory card reader (or the memory card slot in
your computer or printer).
2. Depending on the configuration and/or version of the
Mac operating system you are running, either an
application called Image Capture or one called iPhoto
will launch automatically and guide you through the
process of transferring images from your camera to your
computer.
• If the Image Capture application is launched, click on
either the Download Some or Download All button to
transfer the images to your computer. By default, the
images will be put in the Pictures or Movies folder
(depending on which kind of file they are).
• If the iPhoto application is launched, click on the
Import button to transfer the images to your computer.
The images will be stored in the iPhoto application. So
to access the images later, simply run iPhoto.
• If no application launches automatically or if you want
to copy the images manually, look on the desktop for
a disk drive icon which represents the memory card,
then copy the images from there to your local hard
drive. For more information about how to copy files,

3. At this point, the process is the same as described in
Windows computers, the camera will appear as a
removable disk in the Windows Explorer screen. On
Macintosh computers, either the Image Capture or iPhoto
application will launch automatically.
4. When you have finished transferring images from the
camera to the computer, simply disconnect the camera
from the computer. If your computer is running Windows
2000 or XP and you get an Unsafe Removal warning,
disregard the warning.
NOTE: On Macintosh computers, if either Image Capture or
iPhoto do not launch automatically, look on the desktop
for a disk drive icon with the label HP_M2X. For more

A Managing Batteries
Your camera uses two AA batteries. For best results, use
Energizer Lithium AA or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) AA batteries. Alkaline batteries provide far less
battery life than Lithium or NiMH batteries.
Top Points About Batteries
• The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure
that you fully charge them before using them in the
camera.
• If you do not intend to use your camera for extended
periods of time (more than two months), HP recommends
that you remove the batteries unless you are using
rechargeable batteries and are leaving the camera
docked or connected to an optional HP AC power
adapter.
• When inserting the batteries in the camera, always be
sure to orient the batteries as directed by the markings in
the battery compartment. If the batteries are inserted
improperly, the compartment door may close but the
camera will not operate.
• Never use batteries of different chemistries (for example,
a Lithium battery and NiMH battery), brands, or ages.
This can cause erratic camera behavior, as well as
battery leakage. Always use two identical batteries of the
same chemistry, brand, and age.
Managing Batteries

149
• The performance of all batteries will decrease as the
temperature drops. For best performance in cold
environments, use Energizer Lithium AA batteries. NiMH
batteries may also provide acceptable low temperature
performance. To improve the performance of all battery
types, keep the camera and/or batteries stored in a
warm inside pocket when in a cold environment.
Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending battery life:
• Change the Display Brightness setting in the Setup Menu
to Low, so that the Image Display consumes less power
• Minimize the use of flash by setting your camera to Auto
page 40).
• Use the optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart
M-series dock when the camera will be on for extended
periods of time, such as when you transfer images to your
computer or when printing.
• Turn the camera off between shots.
Safety Precautions for Using Batteries
• Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in
the camera, the optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, or
the optional HP Photosmart Quick Recharger.
• Do not place a battery in fire or heat the battery.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative
terminal of a battery to each other with any metal object
(such as wire).
• Do not carry or store a battery together with coins,
necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects. Placing an
HP Photosmart M22/M23 User’s Manual

NiMH battery in contact with coins is especially
dangerous to you! To avoid injury, do not drop this
battery into a change-filled pocket.
• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with
a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow
the battery to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery
contains safety and protection devices, which, if
damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat,
explode, or ignite.
• Immediately discontinue use of the 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 the battery leaks and the fluid gets into your
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.

When the HP AC adapter is used to charge the batteries and
the camera is off, the Power/Memory light on the back of the
camera will blink during charging. When the dock is used,
the dock light will blink. When the quick recharger is used,
the light on the quick recharger will be red to indicate
charging.
If you will not be using your camera immediately after
charging the batteries, we recommend that you leave the
camera in the dock or plugged in to the HP AC adapter. The
camera will top off the batteries periodically to ensure that
the camera is always ready for use.
Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are
as follows:
• The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure
that you fully charge them before using them in the
camera.
• You may notice that the first several times you use NiMH
batteries, the battery life seems shorter than what you
expect. Performance will improve and become optimal
after the batteries have been charged and then
discharged (used) completely four or five times. You can
use the camera normally to discharge the batteries during
this conditioning period.
• Always recharge both NiMH batteries at the same time.
One low-charged battery will reduce the battery life for
the other battery in the camera.
• NiMH batteries discharge when not in use, whether they
are installed in a camera or not. If they have not been
used for more than two weeks, recharge them before
using them again. Even if you are not using your
batteries, it is a good idea to charge them every six
months to a year to prolong their useful life.
HP Photosmart M22/M23 User’s Manual
156
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• The performance of all rechargeable batteries, including
NiMH, will degrade over time, especially if they are
stored and used at high temperatures. If battery life has
become unacceptably reduced over time, replace the
batteries.
• The camera, dock, or quick recharger may be warm
while operating and charging NiMH batteries. This is
normal.
• NiMH batteries can be left in the camera, dock, or quick
recharger for any period of time without harm to the
batteries or the camera, dock, or quick recharger. Always
store charged batteries in a cool location.
Safety Precautions for Recharging
NiMH Batteries
• Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in
the camera, dock, or quick recharger.
• Insert the NiMH batteries in the correct orientation in the
camera, dock, or quick recharger.
• Use the camera, dock, or quick recharger in a dry
location only.
• Do not charge NiMH batteries in a hot location, such as
in direct sunlight or near a fire.
• When recharging NiMH batteries, do not cover the
camera, dock, or quick recharger in any way.
• Do not operate the camera, dock, or quick recharger if
the NiMH batteries appear damaged in any way.
• Do not disassemble the camera, dock, or quick recharger.
• Unplug the HP AC power adapter or quick recharger
from the electrical outlet before cleaning the power
adapter or quick recharger.

C Caring for Your Camera
Your HP camera has a weather-resistant all-metal body that
allows you to take pictures in wet conditions such as rain,
snow, or near water environments (such as near swimming
pools or waterfalls, for example).
Even with the camera’s splash-proof design, you should take
some basic precautions when using it (see Basic Camera
Basic Camera Care
You should take some basic precautions to ensure that your
camera continues to perform optimally.
• Do not immerse the camera in water or attempt to take
pictures under water. The camera is designed to resist
water spray but it is not waterproof. Immersing the
camera in water or using it under water will cause
damage that is not covered by HP’s warranty.

• When you take pictures in wet weather, always make sure
the Battery/Memory card door, the dock connector door,
and the door covering the USB and HP AC power
adapter connector are firmly closed. If they are not,
moisture could seep into the camera and cause damage.
• Before storing the camera, wipe moisture from the camera
body with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
• Whenever you go from a cold location to a warm one
(from a snowy mountain to a hotel room, for example),
wrap the camera tightly in a plastic bag. Let the camera
adapt to the warmer temperature for about an hour
before removing it from the plastic bag. Doing so will
help prevent condensation inside the camera and extend
its life.
• Store your digital camera in a cool, dry place away from
windows, furnaces, and damp basements.
• Always slide the lens cover over the lens when you are
not using your camera. This precaution not only protects
the lens from dust and scratches but also conserves
battery life.
• Clean your camera body, Image Display, and lens
regularly with cleaning supplies designed specifically for
• Keep your camera and accessories in a padded case
with a good strap for easy transport. Most HP digital
camera cases have built-in pockets for batteries and
• Always keep your camera equipment with you as carry-
on when you travel. Never check it with suitcases, since
rough handling and extreme weather can damage it.

• Never open your camera’s casing or attempt to repair the
camera yourself. Touching the inside of a digital camera
can result in electrical shock. Contact an authorized
HP Service Center for repairs.
NOTE: For information about handling batteries safely, see
Cleaning the Camera
TIP: If your camera needs cleaning beyond what is
described in this section, take the camera to a camera
store that specializes in cleaning digital cameras.
Cleaning your camera not only keeps it looking its best, it
also improves the quality of your photos. It is especially
important to clean the lens regularly because dust particles
and fingerprints can mar the quality of any photos you take.
To clean your camera, you will need lens-cleaning tissue and
a soft, dry, lint-free cloth commonly available at photo-
specialty stores. You can also purchase these items in a
camera-cleaning kit.
NOTE: You should purchase lens-cleaning tissue that has not
been chemically treated. Some chemically treated lens
tissue can cause scratching of the lens and Image
Display.
Cleaning the Camera Lens
Do the following to remove any fingerprints, dust, and so
forth that have accumulated on the lens.
1. Slide the lens cover to uncover the lens.
2. Blow gently on the lens to remove dust.
3. Lightly wipe the lens with lens-cleaning tissue, using a
circular motion.

average size of still images that can be stored in the internal
memory in the camera when the camera is set to different
Image Quality settings available in the Capture Menu.
NOTE: Not all 16MB of internal memory is available for
storing images, because some memory is used for
internal camera operations. Also, the actual file sizes and
number of still images that can be stored in the internal
memory in the camera or on an optional memory card
will vary, depending on the content of each still image
and the length of the recorded audio clip.

2MP
5 images (1.6MB each)
9 images (900KB each)
12 images (700KB each)

NOTE: The values shown are for images without audio clips.
