Transferring and printing images
You can transfer images and video clips with or without the HP Photosmart Software that
came with your camera. However, the HP Photosmart Software has several features for
transferring and managing your images and also guides you through the transfer
process.
Transferring images with HP Photosmart Software
If you have installed the HP Photosmart Software (see
Install the software
on page 8
),
use this method to transfer images and video clips to your computer.
Tip
You can also perform this task using an optional HP Photosmart dock (see
the dock User Guide).
1.
If you have selected images for sharing or printing (see
Using HP Photosmart
Express
on page 28
), verify that the computer is connected to a printer and/or
the Internet.
2.
Connect the camera and computer using the USB
cable that came with your camera.
3.
Turn on the camera and follow the instructions on
the computer screen to transfer the images. For
more information, see the Help feature in the
HP Photosmart Software.
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 28
).
●
Images marked for printing do not automatically print when the camera is connected
to the computer.
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 26
)
●
Using a memory card reader (see
