Camera States

Your camera has two main states that allow you to complete certain tasks. Live ViewAllows you to take still pictures and record , video clips. For information about using Live View see Chapter 2, Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips, starting on page 31. PlaybackAllows you to review the still images and video clips that you capture. For information about using , see Chapter 3, Reviewing Images and Playback Video Clips, starting on page 61. To switch between Live View and Playback states, press the Live View/Playback button.

Camera Menus

Your camera has five menus that, when accessed, appear in the Image Display on the back of the camera. To access the menus, press the button, then use the buttons to move to the menu you want. To select a menu option, use the buttons to highlight it, then press the button to display the menu options sub-menu and modify the settings. To exit a menu, you can do one of the following: Press the Live View/Playback button. Use the buttons to scroll to the menu tabs at the top of the screen. You can then select another menu by using buttons, or you can press the button to exit the the menus and return to Live View or Playback. Use the buttons to scroll to the EXIT menu option and press the button.

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 are recording. (See Using Live View on page 31.) When 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 (see Using the Shooting Modes on 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 Focus Lock on page 38). If the subject is too close (less than 50 cm or 20 in), either move farther away from the subject you are trying to shooting photograph, or set the camera to the Macro mode (see Using the Shooting Modes on page 42).
36 HP Photosmart M22/M23 Users Manual
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 setting the flash to Auto or Flash on (see Setting the Flash on page 40) to increase the lighting. 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 (see Using the Shooting mode other than Macro Modes on page 42). 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. 3. Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning. 4. Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

Using Digital Zoom

You can use digital zoom whenever you want to capture only 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 icon) to enlarge the selection. 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.
Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 39

Setting the Flash

The Flash button allows you to cycle through the flash settings on the camera. To change the flash setting, press the Flash button until the desired setting appears on the Image Display. The following table describes each of the flash settings on the camera.

Setting Auto Flash Red-Eye Description The camera measures the light level and uses the flash if necessary. The camera measures the light level and uses the flash with red-eye reduction if necessary (for a description of red-eye reduction, see Red Eye later in this section).
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 Red Eye on page 41 for a description of red-eye 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.
40 HP Photosmart M22/M23 Users Manual
If the flash setting is anything other than the default Auto Flash setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The flash setting resets to the default Auto Flash setting when you turn the camera off. NOTE: To restore the flash setting to what it was when you last turned the camera off, hold down the button as you turn the camera back on. Red Eye The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects eyes, which sometimes makes a humans eyes appear red or an animals 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 subjects 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 already taken. See Remove Red Eyes on page 71.

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.

4 Using HP Instant Share

This camera has an exciting feature called HP Instant Share. With it, you can easily select still images in your camera to be automatically sent to a variety of destinations or to a printer the next time you connect the camera to your computer or printer. You can also customize the HP Instant Share Menu to include e-mail addresses (including group distribution lists), online albums, or other online services that you specify. Once you have taken pictures with your camera, using HP Instant Share is simple: 1. Set up destinations on your camera (see page 80). 2. Select images in your camera to send to online destinations (see pages 82 and 84). NOTE: You must have the full version of the HP Image Zone software on your computer to use the HP Instant Share features. If your computer uses Windows as its operating system, see Computer System Requirements on page 105 to determine if the full version was installed. NOTE: Available online services vary by region. Visit www.hp.com/go/instantshare to see HP Instant Share in action.

Using HP Instant Share

Using the HP Instant Share Menu
The default HP Instant Share Menu lets you select some or all of the images for printing automatically the next time you connect your camera to your computer or printer.

5. Select any other destinations that you want for this image by using the buttons to highlight each destination in the HP Instant Share Menu, and pressing the button to select the destination. 6. When you are finished selecting destinations, exit the HP Instant Share Menu by pressing the Live View/Playback. 7. Connect the camera to your computer as explained in Transferring Images to a Computer on page 87. The images will automatically be sent to their respective HP Instant Share destinations. Images that were selected to be sent to e-mail destinations are not e-mailed as attachments. Rather, the images are uploaded to a secure HP web site, and a message is sent to each e-mail address. The message contains thumbnail images, as well as a link to the web page where the recipient can do things like reply to you, print the images, save images to their computer, forward images, and more. 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. Images that were selected to be sent to Print destinations will be printed automatically from the computer. NOTE: If you connect the camera directly to a printer, as explained in Printing Images Directly from the Camera on page 89, any images that were selected for printing will automatically print.
Sending All Images to Destinations
1. Turn on the camera, press the button, and use the buttons to scroll to the HP Instant Share Menu. 2. Use the button to highlight Share All Images. and press the button to display the Share All Images sub-menu. 3. Use the buttons to scroll to the destination to which you want to send all images, and then press the button.

A along with the number of copies you specified appears next to Print in the Share All Images sub-menu. To deselect Print, select Print again in the Share All Images sub-menu, set the number of copies button again. to 0 (zero), then press the b. If you selected any other destination, a appears over that destination in the Share All Images sub-menu. To deselect the destination, press the button again.
4. Repeat Step 3 to select any additional destinations. 5. When you are finished selecting destinations, exit the HP Instant Share Menu by pressing the Live View/Playback button. 6. Connect the camera to your computer as explained in Transferring Images to a Computer on page 87. The images will automatically be sent to their respective HP Instant Share destinations (see the last step in Sending Individual Images to Destinations on page 82 for more information about how this works). NOTE: If you selected the Print option as a destination, you can also connect the camera directly to a printer as explained in Printing Images Directly from the Camera on page 89.

4. When the camera is connected to the printer, a Print Setup menu displays on the camera. If you already selected images to print using the camera HP Instant Share Menu, the number of images selected is shown. Otherwise, Images: ALL is displayed. There is a print preview in the lower right-hand corner of the Print Setup screen showing the page layout that will be used for printing images. This print preview updates as you change the settings for the Print Size and Paper Size. If default is displayed for the Print Size or Paper Size, then no print preview is shown. The printer automatically determines the page layout that will be used for printing images. 5. To change the settings in the Print Setup menu, use the buttons on the camera to select a menu option, then use the buttons on the camera to change the setting. 6. When the settings are correct, press the button on the camera to begin printing. After connecting the camera to the printer, you can print either all images in the camera (see page 84) or just selected images (see page 82).

For information about printing entire panoramas, see Printing Panoramas on page 92. Video clips cannot be printed directly from the camera. If your printer has a memory card slot and can print video clips, you can insert the memory card directly in the printers memory card slot and print the video clip. See your printers manual for more information.
90 HP Photosmart M22/M23 Users Manual
To avoid these limitations, use the HP Image Zone software (see HP Image Zone Software on page 105). NOTE: If you connect the camera to a non-HP printer and encounter problems with printing, contact your printer manufacturer. HP does not provide customer support for non-HP printers. TIP: In addition to the method described in this section, you can also print images directly from the printer using one of the following methods: If you have an optional memory card that has images stored on it that you want to print and your printer has a memory card slot, remove the optional memory card from the camera and insert it into the printers memory card slot. See your printers manual for specific instructions. If you have an optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, you can connect the camera and the printer using the dock. See the dock Users Manual for instructions.

7 Troubleshooting and Support
This chapter contains information on the following topics: Resetting the camera (page 104) HP Image Zone software, including system requirements and HP Image Zone Express (page 105) Using the camera without installing the HP Image Zone software (page 107) Possible problems, causes, and solutions (page 113) Error messages on the camera (page 127) Error messages on the computer (page 140) Getting assistance from HP, including web and phone support (page 142) NOTE: For more information about solutions to problems mentioned here, as well as any other issues you might have with your camera or the HP Image Zone software, see the HP Customer Support website: www.hp.com/support.
Troubleshooting and Support

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 Image Zone Software

The full version of the HP Image Zone software lets you use 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 images (see pages 87 and 92).
Computer System Requirements
NOTE: The system requirements in this section apply only to computers using the Windows operating system. Depending on your computers 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 HP Image Zone Express (Windows Only) on page 106. 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 Share feature on the camera. See Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software on page 107.

Troubleshooting and Support 105
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 Camera on page 89). You can also use the HP Instant 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 PictBridgecertified 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.
