HP Photosmart R507/R607 User’s Manual
Chapter 1: Getting Started Congratulations on your purchase of this HP Photosmart digital camera! This camera has many features to enhance your picture-taking experience, including HP Adaptive Lighting Technology, in-camera red-eye removal, 8 shooting modes (including Panorama), HP Image Advice, HP Instant ShareTM, direct printing capability, manual and automatic controls, oncamera Help, and an optional camera dock.
Setup NOTE To locate a part on your camera (such as a button or a light) while following the instructions in this section, see Camera Parts on page 21. Installing the Camera Dock Insert (Optional) If you buy the HP Photosmart R-series dock, you will notice one or more clear dock inserts included in the box with the dock. When setting up the dock for use with this camera, make sure you use the dock insert that has the BLUE sticker on it.
Installing a Memory Card (Optional) NOTE If you do not have a memory card, skip this section and go on to the next section, Installing the Battery on page 14. Your camera contains internal memory that allows you to store images and video clips. However, you can use a memory card (purchased separately) instead to store images and video clips. For more information about supported memory cards, see Storage on page 167.
Installing the Battery Your camera uses a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 lithium ion battery (L1812A). NOTE The battery that was shipped with your camera is partially charged, but you should fully charge it before using it the first time. You can charge the battery while it is in the camera. See Charging the Battery on page 16. 1 If the Battery/Memory card door is already open, skip this step and go on to step 2.
Attaching the Ferrite to the AC Adapter Cord A ferrite is included in the box with your camera. This ferrite prevents your camera from emitting radio frequency energy that might interfere with the reception of your radio, television, or other electronic devices which might be near the camera. The ferrite will not degrade the performance or safety of the camera.
Charging the Battery NOTE This section tells how to charge a battery in the camera. You can also charge the battery in the extra battery bay of the camera dock or in the HP Photosmart Quick Recharger (see Appendix B: Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 161). 1 Plug the power cord into the HP AC adapter. If more than one power cord is in the box, use the cord that is appropriate for power outlets in your country. Plug the other end of the power cord into an electrical outlet.
NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on what modes the camera is being used in most frequently. For hints on optimizing battery performance, see Appendix A: Managing Batteries on page 151. Turning on Power Turn the camera on by sliding the right and then releasing it.
Setting the Date and Time The camera has a clock that records the date and time at which you take each picture. This information is recorded in the image properties, which you can see when viewing the image in the Image Info screen (page 81), in the Playback menu screen (page 75), or on your computer. You can also choose to have the date and time imprinted on the visible image (see Date & Time Imprint on page 67).
Installing the Software The HP Image Zone software allows you to transfer images from the camera, and then view, edit, print, or e-mail them. It also allows you to configure the HP Instant Share menu on the camera. NOTE If you do not install the HP Image Zone software, you can still use the camera, but certain features will be affected. For details, see Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software on page 113.

Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips Taking Still Pictures You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on, regardless of what is being shown on the Image Display. For example, if a menu is currently displayed when you press the Shutter button, the menu will be canceled, and the camera will take a picture. To take a still picture: 1 Frame the subject for your picture in the viewfinder.
You can use Playback to review the pictures you have taken (see Using Playback on page 70). NOTE If you release the Shutter button only halfway after taking a picture, the focus, exposure, and white balance measurements from the previous picture are retained. You can then press the Shutter button all the way down again and take another picture with the same focus, exposure, and white balance as the previous picture.
Audio recording stops when you release the Shutter button; otherwise, the audio will continue recording for up to 60 seconds or until the camera runs out of memory, whichever happens first. After recording has stopped, the image is displayed for several seconds in Instant Review on the Image Display. You can delete the image and the audio clip that is attached to the image during Instant Review by pressing the Menu/OK button. You can use Playback to review the audio clips you have recorded.
Recording Video Clips NOTE Zoom does not work while recording video clips. Therefore, you may want to zoom first before starting to record a video clip. A video clip includes audio. 1 Frame the subject for your video in the viewfinder. 2 To start recording video, press and release the Video button, which is located on top of the camera. The Video viewfinder light and the Self-Timer light turn on solid red.
Using Live View The Image Display allows you to frame pictures and video clips using Live View. To activate Live View from the menus or when the Image Display is off, press the Live View button. To turn off Live View, press the Live View button again. NOTE Using Live View consumes a lot of battery power. To conserve battery power, use the viewfinder instead.
# Icon Description 3 12 Remaining pictures count (actual number depends on how much space remains in memory) 4 4MP Image Quality setting (default is 4MP 5 Focus brackets (see Using Auto Focus on page 36) ) Focusing the Camera Using Auto Focus The focus brackets in the Live View screen show the focus region for the picture you are taking or the video clip you are recording. (See Using Live View on page 35.
z If the AF viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets turn red, release the Shutter button, re-frame the subject for your picture or video clip, and then press the Shutter button halfway down again. If the AF viewfinder light continues to blink green and the focus brackets continue to turn red after several tries, there may not be enough contrast or light in the focus region.
Using Focus Lock Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low contrast situations. 1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets. 2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and exposure.
Setting Description Super Macro Use when taking close-up pictures of subjects less than 0.18 m (7 in) away. In this setting, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus (the AF viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets turn red in the Live View screen). Auto focus has a distance range of 0.06 m to 0.25 m (2.5 to 10 in). Understanding the Focus Search Priority When the camera is set to Normal Focus or Macro focus, it begins searching for focus from the last focus position.
Using Zoom NOTE The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more that even small movements of the camera are magnified (this is called “camera shake”). So, especially at full telephoto zoom (3x), you really need to hold the camera steady in order to take a picture that is not blurry. If an icon of a shaking hand ( ) appears in the Live View screen, you should set the camera on a tripod or stable surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.
2 Press Zoom In again and hold it until you reach the desired size in the Image Display. A yellow frame surrounds the area of the image that will be captured. The resolution number on the right side of the screen also becomes smaller as you digitally zoom. For example, 3.2MP appears in place of 4MP, indicating that the image is being reduced to a size of 3.2 Megapixels. 3 When the yellow frame is at the desired size, press the Shutter button to take the picture.
NOTE If you change the flash setting, the camera will remain in that setting until you change it or turn off the camera. When you turn the camera on again, flash resets to the default Auto Flash setting. Holding down the Menu/OK button when you turn the camera back on will restore this setting to what it was when you turned it off. Setting Description Auto Flash The camera measures light and uses the flash if necessary.
NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the captured image. When you use a flash setting with red-eye reduction, the camera flashes twice, minimizing the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals. It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for the second flash.
b. Press the Shutter button all the way down. If the Image Display is on, a 10-second countdown appears on the screen. The Self-Timer light on the front of the camera then blinks for 10 seconds before the camera takes the picture. If you set the camera to Self-Timer - 2 Shots, the Self-Timer light blinks for a few more seconds until the second picture is taken.
Using the Burst Setting NOTE The Burst setting does not work in Panorama mode, nor while recording video clips. You also cannot record audio when using the Burst setting, but you can add an audio clip later (see Record Audio on page 83). Also, the flash does not work while using the Burst setting. Burst allows you to take approximately 5 still pictures in a row as quickly as the camera possibly can. button until Burst appears in 1 Press the Timer/Burst the Image Display.
To change the shooting mode, press the Mode button on the top of the camera until the desired shooting mode appears in the status screen. Alternatively, you can press the Mode button just once and then use the buttons to scroll to the desired shooting mode. The following table describes each of the shooting mode settings on the camera. Setting Description Auto The camera automatically selects the best F-number (aperture) and shutter speed for the scene.
Setting Description Sunset The focus starts at infinity and the flash is set to Flash Off. This mode improves the saturation of sunset colors and retains the warmth of the scene with a bias towards the orange colors of the sunset. Aperture This mode lets you select the F-number (aperture) Priority setting in Live View using the buttons, while the Av camera selects the best shutter speed. This allows you to control the depth of field (for example to blur the background).
Using Panorama Mode NOTE If the HP Image Zone software is not installed on your computer, see Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software on page 113. Panorama mode allows you to take a sequence of 2–5 pictures that can be “stitched” together in order to capture a scene too wide to fit into a single picture.
Taking a Panoramic Sequence of Pictures 1 Press the Mode button on top of the camera until the Panorama mode appears in the Image Display. The camera switches to Live View with displayed in the Image Display. You are now ready to take the first picture in your panoramic sequence. NOTE Panorama images are stitched together from left to right, so your first image must be at the left-most end of the panorama view. 2 Press the Shutter button to take the first picture in the panoramic sequence.
5 Continue adding more pictures to the panorama, or press the Menu/OK button to end the panoramic sequence. The panoramic sequence ends automatically after you take the fifth picture. NOTE To view a low-resolution image of the panorama on your camera, see Preview Panorama on page 84. Using the Capture Menu The Capture Menu allows you to adjust various camera settings that affect the qualities of the images and video clips you capture with your camera.
6 To restore Capture Menu settings to what they were when you turned the camera off, hold down the Menu/OK button as you turn the camera back on. Help for the Menu Options Help... is the last option in each of the Capture sub-menus. The Help... option provides information about that Capture menu option and its settings. For example, if you press Menu/OK when Help... is highlighted in the White Balance sub-menu, the White Balance Help screen is displayed, as shown.
1 In the Capture Menu (page 50), select EV Compensation. 2 In the EV Compensation submenu, use the buttons to change the EV setting in 0.33 steps from -3.0 to +3.0. The new setting is applied to the Live View screen behind the menu, so you can see the effect each setting will have on the picture. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. If the setting is anything other than the default setting of 0 (zero), the number value will appear in the Live View screen icon.
NOTE The resolution portion of all the Image Quality settings except for the VGA setting is represented by a number and MP (Megapixels), such as 4MP or 2MP. The higher the number of Megapixels, the higher the resolution. In the case of the VGA setting, the image will be 640 by 480 pixels (0.25 MP), which is the lowest resolution. The compression portion of the Image Quality settings is represented by the stars. The more stars, the less compression of the image, and the higher the quality.
The following table helps explain the pre-defined Image Quality settings in more detail: Setting Description 4MP Images will be full resolution and have the lowest pre-defined compression. This setting produces very high quality images, with greater color accuracy, but uses the most memory. This is recommended if you plan to enlarge images, or print images to a size larger than 18 by 24 cm (8 by 10 in). 4MP Images will be full resolution and have medium compression.
The Image Quality setting affects not only the quality of the images, but also the number of images that can be stored either in the internal memory in the camera or on an optional memory card. Images with higher resolution and lower compression will take up more space than images with lower resolution and/or higher compression. For example, the highest pre-defined setting, 4MP , results in high quality images, but consumes more storage space in memory than the next lower setting, 4MP .
1 In the Image Quality sub-menu (page 52), select the Custom... option. 2 Use the buttons to move between the Resolution and Compression options. 3 Use the buttons to change the Resolution or Compression setting. The following tables help explain these settings. Resolution Settings 4MP—Full resolution; therefore, highest quality 2MP—2MP (medium) resolution VGA—640 by 480 (lowest) resolution; lowest quality NOTE At higher compression levels, image quality is reduced.
White Balance Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust the white balance to produce creative effects. Using the Sun setting can produce a warmer look to the image.
Setting Description Tungsten The camera balances color based on incandescent or halogen lighting (typically found in homes). Fluorescent The camera balances color based on fluorescent lighting. Manual The camera calculates a custom White Balance based on your target image (see the following subsection). If the setting is anything other than the default Auto setting, the icon for the setting (in the previous table) will appear in the Live View screen.
To change the Manual White Balance setting: 1 Point the camera at a white or gray target (such as a piece of paper), making sure that the entire screen encompasses the white or gray target. 2 Press the Shutter button (the camera will not take a picture). The camera then calculates a custom White Balance setting based on the region inside the focus brackets. During the calculation, PROCESSING... is displayed on the screen.
1 In the Capture Menu (page 50), select ISO Speed. 2 In the ISO Speed sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. If the setting is anything other than the default Auto setting, the number value for the setting will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The ISO Speed setting resets to the default Auto setting when you turn the camera off.
The following table explains the settings in more detail: Setting Description Average The camera uses the entire scene region to measure and calculate exposure. Use this setting when you want everything in the picture to be used equally when calculating exposure. Center- The camera uses a large area in the center of the Weighted scene region to measure and calculate exposure. This setting is good to use when the subject of the picture is in the center of the frame.
Adaptive Lighting NOTE This setting does not apply in Panorama mode or when recording video clips. This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but compressing harsh contrasts. Some areas in the picture are lightened, while others are left alone.
You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without flash, but it is not recommended as a replacement for flash. Unlike flash, Adaptive Lighting does not affect exposure settings, so brightened areas may appear “noisy” or grainy, and indoor or night images may be blurry if taken without a regular flash or a tripod. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 50), select Adaptive Lighting. 2 In the Adaptive Lighting submenu, use the buttons to highlight a setting.
Color This setting allows you to control the color in which your images will be captured. For example, when you set Color to Sepia, your images will be captured in brown colors to make them look aged or old-fashioned. NOTE Once you have taken a picture using either the Black & White or Sepia setting, the image cannot be adjusted back to Full Color later. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 50), select Color. 2 In the Color sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting.
Saturation This setting allows you to determine how saturated the colors will be in your pictures. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 50), select Saturation. 2 In the Saturation sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table helps explain the settings in more detail: Setting Description Low - Mutes colors to give a softer, more “natural” look to the subject. Medium Colors will be normally saturated.
Sharpness NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips. This setting allows you to set how sharp the fine detail will be in your images. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 50), select Sharpness. 2 In the Sharpness sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table helps explain the settings in more detail: Setting Description Low - The edges in your images will be softer, with less grain (or noise).
The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The Sharpness setting resets to the default Medium setting when you turn the camera off. Holding down the Menu/OK button when you turn the camera back on will restore this setting to what it was when you turned it off. Date & Time Imprint NOTE This setting does not apply in Panorama mode or when recording video clips.
The following table helps explain the settings in more detail: Setting Off Description The camera will not imprint a date or date and time on the image. Date Only The camera will permanently imprint the date in the lower left-hand corner of the image. Date & Time The camera will permanently imprint the date and time in the lower left-hand corner of the image.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support This chapter contains information on the following topics: z Resetting the camera (page 112) z Using the camera without installing the HP Image Zone software (page 113) z Possible problems, causes, and solutions (page 119) z Error messages on the camera (page 130) z Error messages on the computer (page 140) z Self-diagnostic tests on the camera (page 143) z How to get assistance from HP (page 143) NOTE For more information about solutions to problems ment
Resetting the Camera If your camera does not respond when you press any buttons, try resetting the camera as follows: 1 Holding the camera upside down with the front of the camera facing you, open the Battery/Memory card door on the bottom of the camera. 2 If you have an optional memory card installed, remove it. (Although removing an optional memory card is not necessary for performing the reset, it eliminates the memory card as a possible cause of the problem.
Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software If you do not, or cannot, install the HP Image Zone software on your computer for some reason (such as there is not enough RAM in your computer, or your computer is not running a supported operating system), you can still use your camera to take pictures and video clips.
• If your printer has a memory card slot in it, and if you are using a memory card in your camera, you can simply remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in the memory card slot in the printer. z The process for transferring images and video clips from the camera to your computer will be different, since normally the HP Image Zone software handles this task. See the following section for details.
Transferring Images to a Windows Computer 1 Remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into the memory card reader (or the memory card slot in your computer or printer). 2 Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop, then select Explore from the menu. 3 A screen appears that will show a list of disk drives under My Computer. The memory card will show up as a removable disk drive called either HP_R507 or HP_R607. Click on the + sign just to the left of the removable disk.
9 The images that you copied in step 5 should then get pasted into this new folder on your computer's hard drive. To check to see if the images were successfully transferred from the memory card, click on the new folder. You should see the same list of files in that folder that you saw when you looked at them on the memory card (step 4). 10Once you have verified that the images were successfully transferred from the memory card to your computer, put the card back in your camera.
• If no application launches automatically, look on the desktop for a disk drive icon which represents the memory card, then copy the images from there to your local hard drive. For more information about how to copy files, visit Mac help, the help system included with your computer. Configuring the Camera as a Disk Drive This method sets up your camera to function as a disk drive when it is connected to your computer. NOTE This method may not work on Windows 98 computers.
3 At this point, the process for transferring images is the same as described in the section Using a Memory Card Reader on page 114. On Windows computers, the camera will appear as a removable disk in the Windows Explorer screen. On Macintosh computers, either the Image Capture or iPhoto application will launch automatically. 4 When you have finished transferring images from the camera to the computer, simply disconnect the camera from the computer.
Problems and Solutions Problem Possible cause Solution The camera does not turn on. The battery is functioning incorrectly, is dead, is installed incorrectly, or is missing. z The charge in the battery could If you are using the HP AC power adapter, it is not connected to the camera, or is not plugged into a power outlet. Ensure that the HP AC power adapter is connected to the camera and is plugged into a working electrical outlet. The HP AC power adapter is not functioning correctly.
Problem Possible cause Solution The camera does not turn on (continued). If you are using an optional memory card, it may be corrupted or functioning improperly. Remove the memory card and see if you can turn on the camera. If you can, then the problem is most likely with the memory card. Either attempt to format the memory card (see Format (Memory/Card) on page 79) or replace the memory card. The battery gauge goes up and down frequently.
Problem Possible cause Solution I have to recharge the lithium ion battery frequently (continued). The lithium ion battery has drained on its own because it has not been used lately. A lithium ion battery discharges on its own when not in use and when not installed in the camera. So, if you have not used it in two months or more, it may benefit from being charged (see Appendix A: Managing Batteries on page 151). The lithium ion battery will not charge. Battery is already charged.
Problem Possible cause Solution The lithium ion battery will not charge (continued). The battery is damaged or bad. A lithium ion battery degrades over time and can fail. If the camera detects a problem with the battery, it will not start charging or will stop charging prematurely. Purchase a new battery. (See Appendix B: Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 161) Battery is not inserted correctly. Ensure that the battery is inserted correctly (see page 14).
Problem Possible cause Solution A long delay occurs between pressing the Shutter button and the camera taking a picture. The camera needs time to lock focus and exposure. Use Focus Lock (see page 38). The scene is dark and the camera is taking a long exposure. z Use the flash. The camera is using a flash setting with Red-eye Reduction. It will take longer to take a picture with Red-eye Reduction. The shutter is delayed because of the additional flash.
Problem Possible cause Solution The camera does not take a picture when I press the Shutter button. You did not press the Shutter button hard enough. Press the Shutter button all the way down. The internal memory or the optional memory card that is installed is full. Transfer images from the camera to your computer, then delete all images in internal memory or on the memory card. Or replace the card with a new one.
Problem Possible cause Solution My image is blurry. The light is low and the flash is set to Flash Off . In dim light, the camera requires a longer exposure. Use a tripod to hold the camera steady, improve lighting conditions, or set the flash to Flash On (see Setting the Flash on page 41). The camera was set to the wrong focus setting for the scene. Set the camera to Macro You moved the camera while you took the picture.
Problem Possible cause Solution My image is too bright. The flash provided too much light. z Turn the flash off (see Setting the Flash on page 41). z Move back from the subject and use the zoom to get the same framing. z Try taking the picture from a A natural or different angle. artificial source other than the z Avoid pointing the camera directly toward a bright light or flash provided reflective surface on a sunny too much light. day. z Decrease the EV Compensation (see page 51).
Problem Possible cause Solution My image is too dark. There was not enough light. z Wait for natural lighting conditions to improve. z Add indirect lighting. z Use the flash (see page 41). z Adjust the EV Compensation (see page 51). z Use Adaptive Lighting (see page 62). The flash was on, but the subject was too far away. Make sure your subject is within the flash working distance. If so, setting try using the Flash Off (see page 41), which will require a longer exposure (use a tripod).

Problem Possible cause Solution The camera gets warm (or even hot) to the touch. You are using the HP AC power adapter to power the camera or to charge the battery in the camera, or you have been using the camera for a prolonged period of time (15 minutes or longer). This is normal. However, if anything seems out of the ordinary, turn off the camera, unplug the camera from the HP AC power adapter, and allow the camera to cool. Then examine the camera and the battery for signs of possible damage.

Appendix A: Managing Batteries Your camera uses a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 lithium ion battery for HP Photosmart R-series cameras (L1812A). Top Points About Batteries z New rechargeable batteries are shipped partially charged. Lithium ion rechargeable batteries must be fully charged before first use or if unused for 2+ months.
z You might notice that occasionally the battery gauge will fluctuate with the same battery. This occurs because some operating modes, such as Live View or video recording, consume more power than other modes. This will cause the battery gauge to indicate that your battery level is lower, because battery operating time in those modes is shorter.
z Use the HP AC power adapter or optional HP Photosmart R-series dock when the camera will be on for extended periods of time, such as when you transfer images to your computer or when printing. Safety Precautions for Using Lithium Ion Batteries z Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery. z Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).
z In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into 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.
Number of Shots per Battery Charge The following table shows the minimum, maximum, and average number of shots that may be obtained using the rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 lithium ion battery. Minimum number of shots Maximum number of shots Approximate number of shots under average use 115 260 200 In the above table, please note that: z The minimum number of shots is obtained with extensive use of Live View (30 seconds per picture) and Playback (15 seconds per picture), and Flash On.
Battery Gauge The following battery levels may be displayed on the status screen, in Live View, in Playback, and when the camera is connected to a computer or printer. Icon Description Battery has 65-100 percent battery life remaining. Battery has 35-65 percent battery life remaining. Battery has 10-35 percent battery life remaining. Battery has less than 10 percent battery life remaining. Camera will power down soon. Live View is disabled (see Note below).
NOTE When you remove the battery from the camera, the date and time settings are preserved for approximately 10 minutes. If the camera is without a battery for longer than 10 minutes, the clock is set to the last date and time at which the camera was used. You may be prompted to update the date and time the next time you power on the camera.
Where battery is charged Average charge time In camera with HP 4-6 hours AC power adapter connected or while camera is in the dock Signal when charging has completed Power/Memory light on camera (or the Power light on the dock) stops blinking and turns on solid. On the Image Display of the camera, the battery gauge changes to . In battery bay of dock 2.5-3.
z The performance of all rechargeable batteries, including lithium ion, will degrade over time, especially if they are stored and used at high temperatures. If battery life has become unacceptably reduced over time, replace the battery with an HP Photosmart R07 lithium ion battery for HP Photosmart R-series cameras (L1812A). z The camera, the dock, or the quick recharger may be warm while operating and charging a lithium ion battery. This is normal.
z Do not disassemble the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger. z Unplug the HP AC power adapter or the quick recharger from the electrical outlet before cleaning the power adapter or quick recharger. z After extensive use, the lithium ion battery may begin to swell. If it becomes difficult to insert the battery into or remove the battery from the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger, discontinue use of the battery and replace it with a new one. Please recycle the old battery.
