Getting Started 15

Install and Format a Memory Card (Optional)

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 169. 1. Turn off the camera and open the Battery/Memory card door on the side of the camera. 2. Insert the memory card in the small slot behind the batteries, with the notched side of the card going in first, as shown. Make sure the memory card snaps into place. 3. Close the Battery/Memory card door and turn on the camera. 4. Press the button, then use the button to move to the Playback Menu.
5. Press the button to highlight Delete, and then press the button to display the Delete sub-menu. 6. Use the button to highlight Format Card, and then press the button to display the Format Card confirmation screen. 7. Press the button to highlight Yes, and then press the button to format the card. Formatting Card. appears in the Image Display while the camera is formatting the memory card. When the camera has completed the formatting, the Total Images Summary screen is displayed (see Total Images Summary Screen on page 64). 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. NOTE: When you install a memory card in the camera, all new images and video clips will be stored on the card. To use internal memory and view images stored there, remove the memory card. You can also transfer the images from the internal memory to the memory card (see Move Images to Card on page 100).

8. Install the Software

The HP Image Zone software allows you to transfer images and configure the HP Instant Share menu on the camera. NOTE: If you do not install the HP Image Zone software, you can still use the camera, but certain features will be affected. For details, see Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software on page 107. NOTE: If you have trouble installing or using the HP Image Zone software, see the HP Customer Support website: www.hp.com/support for more information.

The Image Quality setting affects both the quality of the images and the number of images that can be stored either in the cameras 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. The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the Image Quality sub-menu screen updates when you highlight each setting. See Memory Capacity on page 172 for more information about how the Image Quality setting affects the number of images that can be saved in the internal memory in the camera. The Image Quality setting will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off. NOTE: When you use digital zoom, the resolution reduces as you zoom in. See Using Digital Zoom on page 39. NOTE: Image Quality settings do not apply when recording video clips.
Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 51

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.
52 HP Photosmart M22/M23 Users Manual
1. In the Capture Menu (page 48), select Adaptive Lighting. 2. In the Adaptive Lighting submenu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3. Press the button to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table explains the settings in more detail:
Setting Description Off Low High The camera will process the image as normal. This is the default setting. The camera will gently brighten the dark regions of the image without changing brightly lit areas. The camera will greatly brighten the dark regions of the image without changing brightly lit areas significantly.

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. 1. In the Capture Menu (page 48), select EV Compensation. 2. In the EV Compensation submenu, use the buttons to change the EV setting in 0.33 steps from -3.0 to +3.0. The new setting is applied to the Live View screen behind the menu, so you can see the effect each setting will have on the picture. 3. Press the button to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. If the setting is anything other than the default setting of 0.0, the number value will appear in the Live View screen next to icon. The new setting remains in effect until it is the changed again or until the camera is turned off. The EV Compensation setting resets to the default 0.0 setting when you turn the camera off.
56 HP Photosmart M22/M23 Users Manual

White Balance

Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that 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 image. 1. In the Capture Menu (page 48), select White Balance. 2. In the White Balance sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. The new setting is applied to the Live View screen behind the menu, so you can see the effect each setting will have on the picture. 3. Press the button to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table explains the settings in more detail:
Setting Auto Sun Shade Description The camera automatically identifies and corrects for scene illuminance. This is the default setting. The camera balances color assuming the subject is outdoors under sunny or bright cloudy conditions. The camera balances color assuming the subject is outdoors in shade, in dark cloudy conditions, or at dusk.

Setting Tungsten

Description The camera balances color based on incandescent or halogen lighting (typically found in homes).

Rotate

In the Playback Menu (page 67), when you select Rotate, the camera displays a sub-menu that allows you to rotate the image in 90-degree increments. 1. In the Playback Menu, select Rotate. 2. Use the buttons to rotate the image clockwise or counter-clockwise. The image rotates in the Image Display. 3. After you have rotated the image to the desired button to save the new orientation, press the orientation. NOTE: Rotate is not available for video clips or for still images that are part of a panoramic sequence.

Record Audio

You can attach an audio clip to a still picture either while you are taking a picture (see Recording Audio with Still Pictures on page 34) or add one after it is taken as explained in this section. You can also use the method in this section to replace an audio clip already attached to an image. 1. In the Playback Menu (page 67), select Record Audio. Audio recording starts immediately after you select this menu option. 2. To stop recording, press the button; otherwise the audio continues to record for up to 30 seconds or until the camera runs out of memory, whichever comes first. NOTE: Audio clips can be attached to single panoramic images in a sequence, but are not attached to the final stitched panoramic file. If the currently displayed image already has an audio clip attached to it, the Record Audio sub-menu is displayed when you select Record Audio. This sub-menu lists several options: Keep Current ClipRetains the current audio clip and returns to the Playback Menu. Record New ClipBegins to record audio, replacing the previous audio clip. Delete ClipDeletes the current audio clip and returns to the Playback Menu. TIP: To hear audio clips, transfer the images to which they are attached to your computer and use the HP Image Zone software. If you have an optional HP Photosmart Mseries dock, you can review the audio clips by connecting the camera to a TV via the camera dock. To do this, see the dock Users Manual. NOTE: Record Audio is not available for video clips.

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.

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.
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).

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
150 HP Photosmart M22/M23 Users 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.

The maximum number of shots is obtained with minimal use of Live View (10 seconds per picture) and Playback (4 seconds per picture). Flash is used on 25% of shots. The average number of shots is obtained with Live View used at 15 seconds per picture and Playback used for 8 seconds per picture. Flash is used on 50% of shots.

156 HP Photosmart M22/M23 Users Manual
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.

Managing Batteries 157

Sleep Time-out for Power Conservation
