HP Image Zone Express (Windows Only)

HP Image Zone Express allows you to transfer images from your camera to your computer. However, it lacks several features contained in the full version.

You cannot use the HP Image Zone Express software with any of the HP Instant Share features on the camera. You cannot, for example, select images to print and then use the HP Image Zone software to print those images automatically. You can, however, select images to print in the HP Instant Share Menu on the camera and then print directly to a printer (see Printing Images Directly from the Camera on page 117). You can also use the HP Instant Share features available in the HP Image Zone Express software itself.

Any images taken in Panorama mode will not be automatically stitched together when they are transferred to the computer. Instead, you must transfer the images in the panorama unstitched and then use a separately purchased image editing software package to stitch them together.

You can transfer video clips to your computer using HP Image Zone Express. However, you must view them using another viewer software package.
