6 Transferring and printing images

Regularly transferring images to your computer and deleting them from the memory card will reduce the time it takes to turn on your camera, to review images, and to transfer images. You can transfer pictures 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.

NOTE: Transferring a large number of high-resolution images from a memory card to your computer may take up to two hours. Even if your Image Display turns off during the transfer process or it appears that nothing is happening on the computer, do not disconnect your camera from your computer until your computer indicates that image transfer is complete. When transferring a large number of images, be sure your camera batteries are fully charged or use an optional HP Photosmart dock or memory card reader.

on page 27) and the computer is connected to a printer, the marked images are automatically printed.

•If you have selected images for sharing (see “Sharing images” on page 29) and the computer is connected to the Internet, the selected images are automatically sent to their destinations.

•If you have selected images to buy as prints (see “Buying prints online”

on page 29) and the computer is connected to the Internet, you can follow the instructions on the computer screen to buy prints of those images you selected.
