Chapter 5 - Sharing and Printing Photos

Once you have taken some photos with your HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera, you can use them in lots of fun ways. You can transfer them to your IBM-compatible or Macintosh computer for use in creative projects, or for sharing with family and friends via the Internet. The camera saves photos on the memory card in JPEG format which means that you can use a wide variety of creative software to manipulate the photo files once you have saved them on your computer. If you have an HP JetSend-capable printer, such as the HP PhotoSmart P1000/P1100 printer, you can use the HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera’s HP JetSend capability for wireless printing. If your printer has a slot for a CompactFlash memory card, you can print photos directly from your memory card.

Tip: To conserve battery life, connect an AC power adapter when you are using the camera with your computer or when you are JetSending photos.
