Using a card reader You can use a CF memory card reader, such as the SanDisk ImageMate or a PCMCIA adapter, to view and save image files on your computer. If you have saved your images to a CF memory card and you have a card reader installed on your computer, insert the CF memory card into the card reader. Then, access your images on the CF memory card just as you would access files on a floppy disk. See your card reader’s documentation for details. Card readers can be purchased from www.hpshopping.
Storing images in memory When you first unpack your digital camera and begin taking pictures, the images are stored in the camera’s internal memory. This makes it easier than ever to save pictures; there’s no need for film of any kind. You can delete unwanted images from the camera anytime, making space available for new images. However, your camera also has a slot for digital “film” in the form of a CompactFlash (CF) memory card (purchased separately).
Determining the number of pictures you can take You can store as many as 113 images in the camera’s internal memory. The number of pictures that you can take and store in the space remaining in memory depends on several factors. Unlike conventional film, each digital image takes up a different amount of space in memory. Images that are complex and contain many details take up more space, whereas simple images take up less space.
If internal memory is full, “0” appears for the remaining picture count and a red light appears to the left of the viewfinder when you press the SHUTTER button. In addition, if the image display is on, the message MEMORY FULL appears in the status line. To resume taking pictures, unload images to your computer and delete them from the camera, or install a CF memory card. Note The HP photosmart 612 digital camera is shipped without a CF memory card.
Installing a CF memory card Use only CompactFlash Association (CFA) certified type 1 CF memory cards with your digital camera. These cards are manufactured by several vendors and are available in a variety of memory sizes. You can purchase additional CF memory cards from www.hpshopping.com (selected countries/regions only), or from your local digital camera or electronics store. To install a CF memory card 1 Make sure the camera is turned off.
6 Gently push the CF memory card all the way into the camera. 7 Close the CF memory card door. Tip If you cannot close the CF memory card door, you might not have inserted the card correctly. Remove the card and try again. Checking the CF memory card status If you have a CF memory card installed in the camera, the letters CF appear in the status LCD and in the status line of the image display.
the images to your computer, then delete all images on the card or re-format it. l If you receive the card error indications and the card is formatted and is not full, the card might be damaged. Try reformatting the card, or try a different card. Using both internal memory and a CF memory card If you have images stored in internal memory and you install a CF memory card, you can no longer access the images in internal memory.
The images are copied from internal memory to the CF memory card. Your images are still stored in internal memory until you delete them. If you have created a print order for those images, the print order is copied to the CF memory card along with the images. Formatting memory The internal memory installed in your digital camera is formatted at the factory. Under ordinary circumstances, you do not need to format it.
When memory has been formatted, the message NO IMAGES IN MEMORY (or NO IMAGES ON CF CARD) appears on the image display. CAUTION 44 Formatting deletes everything stored on the CF memory card, including files from other devices such as pocket computers. Make sure you are formatting the correct card! If you’re not sure, check the contents of the card before you format it.
Maintaining your camera This chapter describes how to use batteries or an ac power adapter to power your camera, how to care for your camera, and how to use your camera safely. Powering your camera Your digital camera can be powered by batteries or an HPapproved ac power adapter. For convenience, use batteries when you are taking pictures.
Note When the empty-battery icon on the status LCD begins blinking, the power is about to shut off. You need to replace the batteries before you can take another picture. The life of the batteries depends on several factors. These include: l how often and how long you use the image display. l how often you use the flash. l the number of pictures you take. l temperature conditions (operating the camera at colder temperatures results in shorter battery life).
Replacing the batteries The camera uses four AA batteries. You can use photo-lithium or photo-quality alkaline AA batteries, or rechargeable NiMH AA batteries. You can purchase additional batteries from your local camera or electronics store. Note If you choose to use rechargeable batteries, you must recharge them in a separate device, outside the camera. The batteries do not recharge in the camera when you connect an ac adapter. To insert new batteries 1 Make sure the camera is turned off.
Using an ac power adapter To extend the life of your batteries, use an ac power adapter as your power source when connecting your camera to a computer or when using the image display for an extended period. CAUTION Use only an ac power adapter that HP has approved for use with the camera. Use of any other adapter will void your warranty and can damage your camera. ac power adapters are available at www.hpshopping.com (selected countries/regions only).
Caring for your camera and accessories Camera l Keep the lens clean to help you take sharp, clear photos with the best possible focus. Use a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the lens and status and image displays to clean off any fingerprints and dust. l Wipe the outside surfaces of the camera with a clean, dry cloth. Never use a rough cloth or abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the camera.
Safety precautions 50 l To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not open the camera case or attempt to repair the camera yourself. Contact an authorized HP Service Center for repairs. l Keep the camera dry. Exposing the camera to excessive moisture can cause it to malfunction. l If moisture gets inside the camera, stop using the camera immediately. Allow the camera to air dry completely before operating it again. l Your digital camera comes with four non-rechargeable batteries.
Troubleshooting This chapter contains information about the following items: l troubleshooting l error messages l HP support l camera warranty Problems and solutions Problem Possible cause Solution The camera does not turn on. The batteries are not functioning correctly. Check the following conditions: • The type of batteries that you have installed in the camera may not be the appropriate type for a digital camera. Use only four photo-quality AA lithium, alkaline, or NiMH batteries.
Problem The camera does not respond when I press a button. I replace the camera batteries frequently. 52 Possible cause Solution You have an ac power adapter connected to the camera, but it is not connected to a power source. When you have an ac adapter connected to the camera, the camera does not use battery power even if the adapter is not connected to a power source. If you want to use battery power, disconnect the ac adapter from the camera.
Problem Possible cause Solution The NiMH batteries you are using were recharged incorrectly. You must recharge all four NiMH batteries after fully draining them four times for the batteries to reach their optimum capacity and performance. The wrong date and/or time is shown. The batteries were dead or were removed from the camera for more than 10 minutes. Replace the batteries and then reset the date and time using the camera menus.
Problem A yellow light appears next to the viewfinder when I press the shutter button halfway down. My image is blurry. 54 Possible cause Solution The memory card that you have in the camera is damaged or is not formatted. Format the memory card or replace it with a new, formatted card. The camera cannot find a focus because you are too close to the subject. The camera’s automatic focus range is 20 cm (~8 inches) to infinity and focuses on the object in the center of the frame.
Problem Possible cause Solution My image is too dark. There was not enough light. Wait for natural lighting conditions to improve, add indirect lighting, or use the flash to illuminate your subject. The flash was on, but the subject was too far away. The flash can only illuminate objects that are within 2.5 m (~8 feet) of the camera. Make sure your subject is within range of the flash when you take the picture. A light shone behind the subject.
Problem Possible cause Solution The computer does not recognize the camera and the automatic image unload does not start. The camera is not configured correctly for the type of computer you have. Open the Setup menu and check the PC Connect Mode setting: • If you are using a Windows computer, make sure PC Connect Mode is set to Digital Camera. • If you are using a Macintosh computer, make sure PC Connect Mode is set to Disk Drive. Your Macintosh computer has an older version of OS 8.
Error message Possible cause Solution CF CARD REQUIRES FORMATTING The CF memory card needs to be formatted. Format the CF memory card. INVALID DATE! You set an invalid date, such as February 31, 2002. Use the valid date. NO IMAGES ON CF CARD You attempted to view images, but no images are stored on the CF card that is in the camera.
