Storing images on a CF memory
card
Your digital camera comes with 8 megabytes (MB) of internal
memory so that you can store images directly in the camera.
However, it also has a slot for an optional CF memory card. The
CF memory card allows you to expand your camera’s memory so
you can take more pictures. Then, after you unload images to your
computer, you can reuse the card.
With a CF memory card you can also view and save images on a
computer that is equipped with a CF memory card reader, and
print images directly from a printer that has a CF memory card
slot.

Taking pictures 7
Taking pictures
This chapter describes the basic process of taking pictures with
your digital camera and gives you tips for taking the best pictures.
When you are familiar with this process, you can use the
advanced camera functions described in later chapters.
Note If the camera is on, you can take a picture anytime,
even if the image display is off or shows a menu.
Taking a picture
1Turn on the camera.
2Frame your subject in the viewfinder.
3Adjust the zoom by pressing the ends of the ZOOM ()
control until the subject is positioned as you desire. Press and
hold the SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the camera to
adjust the focus and exposure.
4When you see the green light to the left of the viewfinder, press
the SHUTTER button all the way down.
5The image display on the back of the camera turns on and
displays the image for a short time.
To preserve battery power, the image display turns off after the
image has been saved to memory.
To review all the pictures you have taken, press the dial.
Tip When you are taking a picture, be careful to keep
your fingers away from the lens and the flash.

Previewing your pictures
Instead of looking through the viewfinder to frame a picture, you
can use the image display to preview a picture. The image display
shows exactly what your picture will look like, whereas the
viewfinder is slightly less accurate. Preview your picture on the
image display when precise framing is important, especially when
you are taking a close-up shot.
Note Using the image display consumes a lot of battery
power. To conserve battery power, the camera
automatically turns off the image display after 60
seconds if you do not press a button.
To preview a picture
1Turn on the camera.
2Press the IMAGE DISPLAY ON/OFF ( ) button to turn the
image display on.
3Frame your picture in the image display by pointing the camera
lens at your subject.
4Press and hold the SHUTTER button halfway down to allow the
camera to adjust the focus and exposure.
5When you see the steady green light to the left of the
viewfinder, press the SHUTTER button all the way down to take
the picture.
To turn the image display off, press the button.
Understanding automatic focus and
automatic exposure
The camera adjusts the focus and exposure automatically for the
current lighting condition. You are more likely to catch the perfect
shot, especially when you are photographing an active subject, if
you set the camera’s focus and exposure early. To do this, press
the SHUTTER button halfway down, and then press the SHUTTER
button all the way down at the exact moment you want to capture
the image.
SwUG.book Page 8 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:30 PM
Taking pictures 9
Note If the camera cannot find a focus or if the exposure
will be longer than 1/30 second, a yellow light
appears to the left of the viewfinder. You can still
take the picture, but the results might not be optimal.
Using focus lock
The automatic focus feature focuses on the subject in the middle
of the picture and requires good contrast within that subject area.
If you do not want your subject to be in the middle of the image or
if the subject lacks contrast, use focus lock.
1Frame a subject that is the same distance from the lens as
your subject.
2Press the SHUTTER button halfway down to lock the focus. Wait
until you see the green light next to the viewfinder.
3Keeping the SHUTTER button pressed halfway down, move the
camera to frame your subject.
4Press the SHUTTER button all the way down to take the picture.
Using the optical or digital zoom
You can use the camera’s optical or digital zoom to make a subject
appear to be closer.
Note Digital zoom reduces image quality.
To use the optical zoom
1With the camera on, frame the subject in the viewfinder.
2Move the zoom control toward the wide ( ) position to
zoom out. Move the zoom control toward the telephoto ( )
position to zoom in.
SwUG.book Page 9 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:30 PM
HP photosmart 612 User Guide10
When the lens reaches either the extreme wide or extreme
telephoto position it stops moving even if you continue to press
the control.
To use the digital zoom
1Turn on the camera and go to Prieview mode.
2Press the zoom control toward the telephoto ( ) position and
hold it.
3Release the control and then press the zoom control toward
the telephoto ( ) position again to activate digital zoom. The
image display comes on automatically and 2X DIGITAL ZOOM
appears in the status line.
Note Digital zoom works in Preview mode only.
Using the self-timer
Use the self-timer to take a picture of yourself or a posed group.
After you turn on the self-timer and press the SHUTTER button, the
camera waits 10 seconds before taking the picture.

Managing images
on the camera
After you have taken some pictures you can view them with the
camera’s image display. While viewing images, you can magnify
or delete them, or create a print order to print a set of photos.
Tip To preserve battery life, connect an ac power
adapter (optional) while using the image display.
Viewing your images
1Turn on the camera.
2Press the dial. The last picture you took or viewed appears
on the image display.
3Turn the dial to scroll through your images.

indicator appears in the upper left corner of the image,
represented by one, two, or three stars. The image quality
indicator disappears after two seconds. The 2X symbol appears in
the upper right corner if the picture was digitally zoomed.
The status line at the bottom of the image display shows the
following information about the current image:
The number of the picture and the number of images stored in
memory or on the CF memory card
If the image is selected for printing, the number of copies you
want to print and the print order icon
The date the picture was taken

When you have finished reviewing images, be sure to turn off the
image display to conserve battery power. To do this, press the
IMAGE DISPLAY ON/OFF ( ) button or turn the camera off.
Creating a print order
You can use your camera to select the images that you want to
print. For example, when you gather with family and friends to
view your photos, you can keep track of the photos they want
copies of and then print the photos later.
With a print order you can:
select one image, several images, or all of the images that you
have stored in the camera.
select how many copies you want of each image or of all
images.
To add an image to a print order, you select the number of copies
that you want to print.
Note When you are reviewing images on the image
display, a print order icon appears on the status line
for images that you have added to the print order.
A print order creates a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) file. This
file is stored with your images in memory.

Managing images on the camera 15
You can print photos from your print order in one of two ways:
When you transfer your images from the camera to a
computer, the print order is copied along with them. If you have
configured the software that came with your camera to do so,
the computer reads the print order and prints the specified
images. For more information, see the online help in the
software.
If your images are stored on a CF memory card, you can insert
the memory card directly into a DPOF-compatible printer. The
printer reads the print order and prints the specified images.
Note A Macintosh computer does not recognize a DPOF
print order.
To create or edit a print order
1Turn on the camera.
2Press the dial to begin reviewing your images.
3If you want copies of a single image, use the dial to scroll to
the image you want to add to or remove from the print order.
Note If you want copies of all images, it does not matter
which image is displayed on the image display.
4Press the dial to open the main menu, and then
press the dial to open the Print (DPOF) menu.
5Turn the dial to select This
Image if you want copies of the
current image. Select All Images if
you want copies of all the images in
memory.
6Press the dial.
7Select the number of copies of the
image that you want.

Tip To remove an image from a print order, set the
number of copies for that image to zero.

To change the flash setting
1Turn on the camera.
2Press the FLASH ( ) button
repeatedly until the flash
setting you want appears on
the status LCD.
The button cycles through
the four available flash
settings.
Note The flash
recharges between pictures. This is indicated by a
blinking flash icon on the status LCD. When the
flash icon stops blinking, you can take another flash
picture.
RED-EYE The flash will be used if needed. Red-eye
reduction minimizes the occurrence of red-eye in
pictures of people or animals by emitting several
short flashes to condition the subject’s eyes to
the flash, followed by a final flash to take the
picture. If you are photographing people, tell
them to wait for the final flash before moving.
FLASH ON The flash will be used in all lighting conditions.
The amount of light provided by the flash will be
adjusted according to the current lighting
conditions. Use this setting when the lighting for
the entire picture is sufficient, but the lighting for
the subject is not, as in a backlighting situation.
This is commonly called “fill flash.”
FLASH OFF The flash will not be used, regardless of the
lighting conditions. Use this setting in places
where flash photography is not permitted. If
necessary, use a tripod to hold the camera
steady. The message HOLD STEADY may
appear in the status line when you press the
shutter botton.

Changing the image quality
The camera has three image quality settings: Good, Better, and
Best. The current image quality setting is indicated by one, two, or
three stars on the status LCD. In addition, if the image display is
on, GOOD, BETTER or BEST appears in the status line.
The image quality setting determines the quality of your images
and how many images can be stored in internal memory or on the
CF memory card. Pictures taken with higher image quality take up
more space in memory; pictures taken with lower image quality
take up less space.
Here are some important notes about the image quality setting:
You can use different image quality settings for different
images.
The camera retains the current image quality setting until you
change it, even if you turn the camera off.
Because image quality affects the number of images that can
be stored in memory or on a memory card, the number of
available images (shown on the status LCD) changes as you
change the image quality.

GOOD This is the most memory-efficient

For more information, see the ArcSoft software Help.
Tips for unloading images to a Macintosh
computer
When you unload images to your computer, the images are still
stored in the camera until you delete them. If you take new
pictures and then unload images again, the automatic unload
software ignores the old images. That way, you do not end up
with multiple copies of the same image on your computer.
If you have no new images in your camera when you connect it
to the computer, the automatic unload does not take place.
In the Options window, you can disable the automatic unload
feature. To turn the feature on again, open the Options window
in the ArcSoft PI folder.
Make sure you know where your images are stored on your
computer’s hard disk. By default, images are stored in the
PhotoImpression folder, for example Macintosh HD:ArcSoft
PI:Photos:2002.07.04. If you ever decide to delete the ArcSoft
PI folder, you must first move your images to another folder. If
you do not, your images will be deleted from the hard disk
when you delete the PhotoImpression folder.

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.com
(selected countries only), or from your local digital camera or
electronics store.
Printing images on a printer
equipped with a card reader
If your printer has a slot for a CF memory card, as the HP
photosmart 1000 and higher series printers do, you can print your
images directly from the card. For more information, see your
printer’s documentation.
SwUG.book Page 36 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:30 PM
Storing images in memory 37
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).
The card is more economical than conventional film because you
can reuse the card over and over again. If you install a CF
memory card in your camera, images are stored on the CF
memory card rather than in the camera’s internal memory.
Note If your computer runs Windows NT or if it does not
have a USB port, you must store images on a CF
memory card. Then use a CF memory card reader
to transfer images to your computer.
This chapter describes how to use your camera with or without a
CF memory card and how to copy images from internal memory to
a CF memory card.
Tip As long as you have a CF memory card in the
camera, you can gain access to only the images
stored on the CF memory card. For more
information, see “Using both internal memory and a
CF memory card” on page 42.

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. Pictures taken full size occupy more space, whereas
pictures taken with digital zoom occupy less space. However, the
most important factor in image size is the image quality you have
selected.
The number of images remaining in memory is indicated in the
status LCD on top of the camera. It is an approximate number that
decreases as you take pictures.
Note You can take each picture with a different setting. As
you change the settings, the number of remaining
images that is indicated on the status LCD changes.
The number of images you can store in the camera depends
primarily on image quality:
Pictures taken with an image quality of BEST (three stars)
require the most memory. You can store approximately 7 such
images on the camera.
Pictures taken with an image quality of BETTER (two stars)
require less memory. You can store approximately 16 such
images on the camera.
Pictures taken with an image quality of GOOD (one star)
require the least amount of memory. You can store a maximum
of approximately 113 such images on the camera.

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. If you do not install a CF
memory card, all images are automatically stored in
internal memory.
Using a CF memory card
If you install a CF memory card, all images taken after installing
the CF memory card are saved to the card.
Note Even if there is space available in internal memory,
images will be stored on the CF memory card.
In addition, as long as the CF memory card is in the camera, all
camera operations involve the images that are on the CF memory
card. The remaining image count applies to the CF memory card,
and images that you review are stored on the CF memory card.
When a CF memory card is installed, the letters CF appear on the
status LCD.

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
1Make sure the camera is turned off.
CAUTION
Inserting or removing a CF memory card while the
camera is on could damage the existing card or result
in lost images.
2Open the CF memory card door.
3If there is a card already in the camera,
remove the existing card. To do this, locate
the lever on the bottom of the camera under
the CF memory card door. Slide it toward the
center of the camera. The card pops out.
4Hold the new CF memory card so that the
tiny ledge on the top rear of the card is
between your fingers, the side with pinholes
faces the camera, and the ledge on the back of the card faces
the front of the camera.
5Insert the card firmly all the way into the camera.
CAUTION
The card should fit easily almost all the way into the
slot. If it stops when it is only partially inserted, turn the
card over and try again. Do not force the card into the
camera.

6Gently push the CF memory card all the way into the camera.
7Close 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.
If the CF memory card 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 CF CARD FULL appears on the status line to
indicate that you cannot take any more pictures.
If the CF memory card is damaged or unformatted, the letters CF
appear on the status LCD and blink, and an error message
appears on the image display.
To resume taking pictures, try the following steps:
If you receive any card error indications immediately after
installing a new, blank CF memory card, the card might need to
be formatted.
If the message CF CARD FULL appears on the image display
after you have successfully taken and stored numerous images
on the CF memory card, the CF memory card is full. Unload
SwUG.book Page 41 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:30 PM

the images to your computer, then delete all images on the
card or re-format it.
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. You now have access to images in internal memory.
Copy the images from internal memory to the CF memory card
and access the images from the CF memory card.
To copy images from internal memory to a CF memory card
1If you have not already already done so, install a CF memory
card in the camera.
2Turn on the camera.
3Press the dial twice to open the main menu.
4Turn the dial to scroll to the Setup icon, and then
press the dial to open the Setup menu.
5Turn the dial to scroll to Copy to CF Card, and
then press the dial.
Note Copying images from internal memory to a CF
memory card does not overwrite content that is
already on the CF memory card. If the CF memory
card does not have enough room to store all the
images that are in internal memory, an error
message appears. Either make room on the CF
memory card or turn the camera off and replace the
CF memory card.
6Turn the dial to select Yes, and then press the dial.
SwUG.book Page 42 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:30 PM
Storing images in memory 43
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. However, if the camera does not store images properly,
you might want to try formatting the internal memory.
CAUTION
Formatting deletes everything stored in memory.
Most CF memory cards are already formatted when you buy them.
However, if you buy a CF memory card that has not been
formatted, you need to format it before you can store images on it.
If you insert a new, formatted card in the camera and it doesn’t
work, try reformatting it—it might have been formatted improperly.
Also reformat cards that were previously used in a different
camera to optimize them for use with your camera.
Note You can reuse a CF memory card that is full by
formatting it. This deletes all images and files from
the card. You can also use the Delete menu to
delete one or all images from a CF memory card.
To format internal memory or a CF memory card
1Turn on the camera.
2Press the dial twice to open the main menu.
3Turn the dial to scroll to the Delete icon, and then
press the dial to open the Delete menu.
4Turn the dial to scroll to Format Memory or, if a
CF memory card is installed, scroll to Format CF Card, and
then press the dial.
5Turn the dial to select Yes, and then press the dial.

When memory has been formatted, the message NO IMAGES
IN MEMORY (or NO IMAGES ON CF CARD) appears on the
image display.
CAUTION
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.

adapter (purchased separately) when you are reviewing images
on the image display for an extended period of time, or when you
are transferring images from the camera to your computer.
Determining if the batteries need to be
changed
The battery icon on the status LCD indicates the charge level of
the batteries. There are three levels of battery charge: good, low,
and empty.
If the battery icon shows that the batteries are empty, it is time to
replace the batteries.

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:
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).
To extend battery life:
When using the camera with a computer or when using the
image display for extended periods of time, use an ac power
adapter that HP has approved for use with your digital camera.
Limit your use of the image display, except when using an ac
power adapter.
Use only batteries that are designed for digital cameras, such
as photo-quality alkaline, photo-lithium, or rechargeable nickel-
metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, available from various battery
manufacturers.
If you are using rechargeable batteries, be sure you fully drain
and recharge the batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Use only batteries that are in good condition. Batteries that
show signs of leakage, corrosion, or swelling should not be
installed in the camera.

Maintaining your camera 47
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
1Make sure the camera is turned off.
2To open the battery
compartment, slide the
battery compartment cover in
the direction of the arrow,
and then lift it.
3Insert four new batteries,
making sure the + / −
electrodes are facing the
proper direction (see the
diagram inside the battery
compartment).
4Close the battery compartment cover by sliding it into place
and then clicking it shut.
CAUTION
Replace all the batteries at the same time. Do not
replace the batteries individually or use batteries of
different types. Always follow the instructions on the
battery package when handling or disposing of
batteries.
