Using a memo ry card re ader You can put your camera’s op tional memory ca rd into a (separate ly purchased) memory card reader. Some comput ers and HP Photos mart printers have built-in me mory card slots which act as a m emory card reader. 1. Insert your camera’s memory card into the memory card reader (or into your computer’s m emory card slot, if your computer has one) . 2. Your computer's provided im age transfer softw are starts automa tically and guide s you through the p rocess of transf erring images. 3. After verifying that the images were successfully transferred, return the memory card to your camera. If no appl ication starts aut omatically or if you want to copy the ima ges manually, look for the disk drive for the mem ory card, then copy the ima ges to your local hard drive . For more informati on about how to copy fi les, refer to your com puter's help.

A Managing batteries Your camera uses two AA batteries, either Alka line, Photo Lithium, or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH). Photo Lithium and NiMH batteries pro vide longer battery life than Alkaline batteries. Top points about batteries • The batteries shipped with your ca mera are AA Alkaline. These batteries have a short life an d are intended to le t you begin using your camera immediately. When the camera warns that the battery charge is low (see “ Power indicators” on page 34 ), HP recommends re placing them with Photo Lithium or rechargeable Ni MH batteries for longer battery life. • Fully charge NiMH batteries before using them for the first time. • The first seve ral times you recharge NiMH ba tter ies, they may not provide the number of shots per charge that you expect. Their performance w ill 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 batter ies in the camera co rrectly (see “ Install the batteries” on page 4 ). If the batteries are inserted improp erly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not operate. • If you do not intend to use your camera for more than one mo nth, remove the batteries from the camera. • The performance of all batteries will decreas e as the temperature drops. To improve battery performance, store the camera and batteries in a warm inside pocket wh en in a cold environment. To prevent short-circ uiting the batteries, never car ry 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 tu rns 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 unde r “ Using the Camera Setup Menu” on page 25 ). • Set your camera to Auto Flas h (see Auto Flash under “ Setting the fla sh” on page 10 ). • Use video recor ding sparingly. • Use Image Display sparingly. • When tran sferring or printing images, place your camera in an op tional HP Photosmart dock connected to AC power. Safety precautions for using b atteries • Always use two identical batteries of the same chemistry, brand, and age. • Do not pla ce batteries in fire or heat them. Al ways store char ged batteries in a cool loca tion. • Do n ot connect the positive and negative ter minals of the battery to each other with a ny metal object. • Do not carry or store batteries with metal obje cts. Do not drop batteries into a change-filled pocket. • Do n ot pierce batteries or subject them to strong impacts or shocks. • Do n ot solder directly onto batteries. • Do not allow batteries to g et wet. • Do not disassemble or modify batteries. Managing batteries 33
• Immediately discontinu e use of a battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels excessive ly hot (note that it is normal for the battery to feel warm), changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any othe r way. • In the event batteries lea k and the fluid gets in to 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 batte ry is replaced by an inco rrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Power indicators When the batteries are low or the camer a is in a dock connected to AC power, one of the following icons appears in the Image Displa y.

Battery performance This graph shows the relative number of photos you can take using Photo Lithium, N iMH, and Alkaline batteries. Actual performance may vary based on usage, battery type, an d battery manufacturer. Many additional factors affect the number o f photos you can take (see “ Top points about batteries” on page 33 ). NOTE: For more information about batteries, go to www.hp.com/support and search on the code AA-400 . The following table shows how Alkaline, Photo Lith iu m, and rechargeable NiMH batter ies perform in different types of use scenarios: Type of Use Alkaline Photo Lithium NiMH Most economical if you take more than 30 pictures per month Poo r Fair Good Most economical if you take fewer than 30 pictures per month Fair Good Fair Appendix A 34 Managing batteries
Type of Use Alkaline Photo Lithium NiMH Heavy use of flash, frequent pictures Poor Good Good Heavy use of video Poor Good Good Heavy use of Image Display Poor Good Good Overall battery life Poor Good Fair Low temperature/winter use Poor Good Fair Infrequent use (without dock) Fair Good Fair Infrequent use (with dock) Fair Good Good Want to recharge battery No No Good Recharging NiMH batteries You can recharge optional NiMH batte ries with an optional HP quick recha rger or with an optiona l HP Photosmart dock.
