The camera gets warm (or even hot) to the touch.
This is normal. However, if anything seems out of the ordinary, turn off the camera and
allow it to cool. Then examine the camera and the battery for signs of possible damage.
For best image quality, turn off the camera when not using. Always store the camera in
a cool place.
My camera stalls when establishing a connection to the computer.

Your memory card may have a large number of images stored on it. The more images
you have on your card, the longer it takes to establish a connection to the computer
(up to five minutes). If you have a large number of images on the memory card, be
sure to allow this additional time to establish the connection.
•
Ensure that the USB cable is properly connected to the camera and computer.
•
Try connecting the USB cable to another USB port on the computer.
•
Turn the camera off, then on again. If that does not fix the problem, reset the camera
(see
“Resetting the camera” on page 33
).
•
If the problem persists, contact Hewlett-Packard Technical Support (see
“Product
support” on page 39
).

I get an error message when transferring images to my computer.
A power surge or electrostatic discharge may have affected the camera. Close the
HP Photosmart Software, disconnect the camera from the computer, and reset the
camera (see
“Resetting the camera” on page 33
). Then restart the image transfer process
(see
“Transferring images with HP Photosmart Software” on page 24
).
The HP Photosmart Software takes a long time before it is ready to transfer images
from my camera.
Having a large number of files stored on an optional memory card affects the amount of
time it takes for the HP Photosmart Software to start transferring images. For best results,
transfer images to your computer frequently, and always format the card after transferring
images (see
“Install and format an optional memory card” on page 6
).
