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.
SJUG.book Page 42 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 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.

SJUG.book Page 44 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 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 only), or from your local digital camera or electronics store. To install a CF memory card 1 Make sure the camera is turned off.
SJUG.book Page 45 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 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.
SJUG.book Page 46 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 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. You have two options: Turn the camera off, remove the card, and turn the camera back on.
SJUG.book Page 47 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 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.
SJUG.book Page 48 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM When memory has been formatted, the message NO IMAGES IN MEMORY (or NO IMAGES ON CF CARD) appears on the image display. CAUTION 48 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!

SJUG.book Page 49 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 7 Powering and 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.
SJUG.book Page 50 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM Full Partially-charged Empty The life of the batteries depends on several factors. These include: how often and how long you use the image display. how often you use the flash. the number of pictures you take. temperature conditions (operating the camera at colder temperatures results in shorter battery life). the type of battery (photo-lithium batteries have the longest life, alkaline have the shortest).
SJUG.book Page 51 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM Replacing 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.
SJUG.book Page 52 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 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. 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 only).
SJUG.book Page 53 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM Caring for your camera and accessories Camera 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. 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.
SJUG.book Page 54 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM Safety precautions 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. Keep the camera dry. Exposing the camera to excessive moisture can cause it to malfunction. If moisture gets inside the camera, stop using the camera immediately. Allow the camera to air dry completely before operating it again.
SJUG.book Page 55 Tuesday, October 9, 2001 1:35 PM 8 Troubleshooting, support, and warranties Problems and solutions Problem Possible cause Solution The camera does not turn on.
