Transferring images without HP Photosmart Software
If you do not install the HP Photosmart Software:
● You cannot use the Share features or Buy Prints Online on the camera's
Photosmart Express Menu (see Using HP Photosmart Express on page 36).
● Panoramic sequences are not automatically stitched when you transfer the images
to your computer.
● Images marked for printing do not automatically print when the camera is connected
to the computer.
● Tags associated with images are not transferred to the computer. For information
about tagging images, see Tagging images on page 26.
However, you can still transfer images and video clips to your computer by:
● Connecting your camera directly to the computer (see Connecting to the computer
on page 33)
● Using a memory card reader (see Using a memory card reader on page 33)
Connecting to the computer
1. Turn off the camera, connect the camera and computer using the USB cable that
came with your camera, then turn on the camera. Your computer's provided image
transfer software should start. Follow the on-screen instructions to transfer your
images.
2. When you have finished transferring images, disconnect the camera from the
computer.
If you encounter problems, set the camera’s USB Configuration to Disk Drive (see
USB Configuration under Using the Camera Setup Menu on page 39) and
reconnect to your computer.
Using a memory card reader
You can put your camera’s optional memory card into a (separately purchased) memory
card reader. Some computers and HP Photosmart printers have built-in memory card
slots which act as a memory card reader.
1. Insert your camera’s memory card into the memory card reader (or into your
computer’s memory card slot).
2. Right-click My Computer on your desktop, then select Explore.
3. Expand the removable drive folder, expand the DCIM folder, then click on the folder
for your camera.
4. Select and copy all the images to a folder on your computer.
5. After verifying that the images were successfully transferred, return the memory card
to your camera.
Printing directly to a printer
You can print images directly from the camera to any PictBridge-certified
printer. For information about printing images from your computer, see
Transferring images with HP Photosmart Software on page 32.
Note You cannot print video clips using the method described in this section.
You can, however, print a frame from a video clip using the HP Photosmart
Software. For more information, see Help in the HP Photosmart Software.
