Chapter 7: Powering Your Camera

The HP PhotoSmart 215 digital camera can be powered by batteries or an HP approved AC power adapter. For convenience, use the batteries when you are taking photos. To preserve battery power, use an AC adapter (purchase separately) when you are reviewing photos on the image LCD for an extended period of time, or when you are transferring photos from the camera to your computer.

Determining if the Batteries Need to be Changed

The battery icon on the camera’s status LCD indicates the battery level. There are three levels of battery charge: Full, Partially-charged, and Low/Empty. If the battery icon shows that the battery is Low/Empty, it is time to replace the batteries. A blinking Low/Empty battery appears when the battery is too low to take a picture.




	Full			Partially-charged					Low/Empty
60–100% photo taking power				10–60% photo taking power				0–10% photo taking power
