Using your camera without installing the HP Photosmart Software
You can still transfer images and video clips from the camera to your computer without installing the HP Photosmart Software. However, the process for transferring will be different, since normally the HP Photosmart Software handles this task. See the following section for details.
Troubleshooting and support 69
Transferring images to a computer without HP Photosmart Software
If you do not, or cannot, install HP Photosmart Software on your computer, there are three ways to transfer images from your camera to the computer: Connect your camera to the computer as a Digital Camera (Windows XP or Mac OS X only) Use a memory card reader Configure the camera as a disk drive
Connecting your camera as a digital camera
If you have a Windows XP system, or a Mac OS X system, simply connect the camera to your computer directly, 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 (see page 63), and connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable.
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 computers hard disk drive. 7. Create a new folder under Local Disk (go to the File pulldown 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 computers 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.

Possible Cause A power surge or electrostatic discharge may have interrupted the transfer.
Solution Close the HP Photosmart Software, disconnect the camera from the computer, and reset the camera (see page 68). Then, restart the image transfer process (see page 55). Refer to the computer requirements (see page 69). Refer to the HP Customer Care website: www.hp.com/support.

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.

Managing batteries 109

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. 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 quick recharger may be warm while operating and charging NiMH batteries. This is normal. NiMH batteries can be left in the quick recharger for any period of time without harm to the batteries. 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 quick recharger. Insert the NiMH batteries in the correct orientation in the quick recharger. Use the 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 quick recharger in any way. Do not operate the quick recharger if the NiMH batteries appear damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the quick recharger. Unplug the quick recharger from the electrical outlet before cleaning the quick recharger.
Sleep time-out for power conservation
To conserve battery power, the Image Display turns off automatically if there is no button activity for 30 seconds. When the camera is connected to a computer, the Image Display turns off automatically 10 seconds after the connection is made. When the camera is in this sleep state, pressing any button will wake up the camera again. If no buttons are pressed during the sleep state, the camera will turn off after an additional 5 minutes.

C Caring for your camera

Your HP camera has been designed to withstand most conditions under which you would normally take pictures. However, you should take some basic precautions when using your camera (see Basic camera care below) and clean it regularly (see Cleaning the camera on page 117).

Basic camera care

You should take some basic precautions to ensure that your camera continues to perform optimally. 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.

Caring for your camera

Always turn the camera off when you are not using it to protect the lens. When the camera is off, the camera lens retracts and the lens wink mechanism closes over the lens to protect it. Clean your camera body, Image Display, and lens regularly with cleaning supplies designed specifically for cameras. See Cleaning the camera on page 117. 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 memory cards. See Purchasing camera accessories on page 113. Always keep your camera equipment with you as carryon when you travel. Never check it with suitcases, since rough handling and extreme weather can damage it. Never open your cameras 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 Appendix A, Managing batteries, starting on page103.

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 photospecialty 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.
Cleaning the camera body and image display
Do the following to remove any fingerprints, dust, moisture, and so forth that have accumulated on the camera body and Image Display. 1. Blow gently on the Image Display to eliminate dust. 2. Wipe the entire surface of the camera and the Image Display using a clean, dry, soft cloth. NOTE: You can also wipe the Image Display with lenscleaning tissue.
