Unloading images to a Windows computer
Unloading is the process of copying images from the camera’s
memory to your computer. If you have a CF memory card installed
in the camera, images will be copied from the CF memory card to
the computer.
You can unload images from your camera in one of three ways:
automatically, manually, or by connecting the camera as a disk
drive. The automatic unload procedure is the preferred method.
For descriptions of the other methods, see the online
documentation with the HP Photo Imaging software.
Tip To conserve battery power, you can use an HP-
approved ac adapter (optional) when you are
unloading images to your computer.
Follow the procedure in this section if your computer runs
Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows 98.
To unload images automatically
1 Connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable.
2 Turn on the camera.
