NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on what modes the camera is being used in most frequenily. For hints on optimizing battery performance, see Appendix A: Managing Batteries on page 129.

NOTE You can also use an optional HP AC power adapter to power the camera. If you use rechargeable NiMH batteries, you can recharge the batteries in the camera using the optional HP AC power adapter or optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, or recharge the batteries separately in the optional HP Photosmart Quick Recharger. For more information, see Appendix B: Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 139.

Taking Still Pictures

You can take a picture almost any time the camera is on, regardless of what is being shown on the Image Display. For example, if a menu is currently displayed when you press the Shutter button, the menu will be canceled, and the camera will take a picture. To take a still picture:

T Frame the subject for your picture in the viewfinder. _—_ 2 Hold the camera steady (©

(especially if using zoom) and press the Shutter button on the top of the camera halfway down. The camera measures and then locks the focus and exposure (the AF viewfinder light turns on solid green when focus is locked - see Using Auto Focus on page 31 for details). Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture. You will hear a shutter click when the camera takes the picture.

After a picture is taken, the image appears for several seconds on the Image Display. This is called Instant Review. You can delete the image during Instant Review by pressing the Menu/OXK button.

You can use Playback to review the pictures you have taken. See Using Playback on page 53.

Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 7

Recording Audio with Still Pictures There are two ways to attach an audio clip to a still picture:

+ _ Add an audio clip to the picture later, or re-record the audio that was captured when the picture was taken. For details on how to do this, see Record Audio on page 61.

+ Record the audio while you are taking the picture, as explained in this section. You will not be able to use this method when using the Self-Timer or Burst settings.

An audio clip can be as long as you like or until the camera runs out of memory, whichever happens first.

After recording has stopped, the last frame of the video clip appears for several seconds on the Image Display. This is called Instant Review. You can delete the video clip during Instant Review by pressing the Menu/OK button.

You can use Playback on the camera to review the video clips you have recorded. See Using Playback on page 53.

Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 29

The focus brackets in the Live View screen show the focus region for the still picture you are taking or the video clip you are recording. (See Using Live View on page 30.) When you press the Shutier button halfway down to take a still picture, the camera uses this focus region to automatically measure and then lock the focus. The AF viewfinder light turns on solid green and the focus brackets in the Live View screen turn green when the image is in focus and the camera can lock the focus.

Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 31

When you have the camera set to any of the shooting modes other than Macro % (see Using the Shooting Modes on page 38), the camera will attempt to auto focus still pictures using the normal focus range of 0.5 m (20 in) to infinity. However, when the camera cannot focus in these shooting modes, one of the following will oceur:

e_The AF viewfinder light will blink green and the focus brackets in Live View will turn red. The camera will still take the picture, but the picture may be out of focus. To focus the picture, release the Shuïter button, re-frame the subject for your picture, and then press the Shutter button halfway down again.

Ifthe AF viewfinder light continues to blink green and the focus brackets continue to turn red after several tries, there may not be enough contrast or light in the focus region. Try using a technique called Focus Lock to focus on an object about the same distance away but in a higher-contrast region, and then, without releasing the Shuiter button, point the camera at the subject you were originally trying to photograph (see Using Focus Lock on page 34). You can also simply turn on more light, if that is possible.

32 HP Photosmart M305/M307 User's Manual

The AF viewfinder light will blink green, the focus brackets will turn red, and the Macro % icon will blink in the Live View screen. In this case, the camera detects that the focus is closer than the normal range. The camera will still take the picture, but the picture may be out of focus. To focus the picture, either move farther away from the subject you are trying to photograph, or set the camera to the Macro # shooting mode (see Using the Shooting Modes on page 38).

Finally, if the camera is set to the Macro % shooting mode but detecis that either the focus is closer or farther away than the Macro range of 0.1 to 0.5 m (4 to 20 in}, or there is not enough contrast or light in the focus region, both viewfinder lights will blink, the focus brackets will turn red, and the Macro % icon will blink in the Live View screen. In these cases, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus.

If the subject for the picture is not within the Macro range, either move farther away from or closer to the subject, or set the camera to a shooting mode other than Macro % (see Using the Shooting Modes on page 38). If there is not enough contrast or light in the focus region, try using a technique called Focus Lock to focus on an object about the same distance away but in a higher-contrast region, and then, without releasing the Shutter button, point the camera at the subject you were originally trying to photograph (see Using Focus Lock on page 34). You can also simply turn on more light, if that is possible.

Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 33

Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low contrast situations.

1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets.

2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and exposure.

3 Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning.

4 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.

NOTE The more you zoom in on the subject of your picture, the more even small movements of the camera are magnified (this is called “camera shake”). So, especially at full telephoto zoom (3x), you must hold the camera steady in order to take a picture that is not blurry. If an icon of a shaking hand (#?) appears in the Live View screen, you should set the camera on a tripod or stable surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.

NOTE Optical zoom is disabled while recording video clips.

Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film camera, with physical lens elements moving inside the camera to make the subject of your picture appear closer.

34 HP Photosmart M305/M307 User's Manual

Press Zoom Out ## and Zoom In 4 on the Zoom lever to move the lens between wide angle (1x) and telephoto (3x) positions.

NOTE Digital zoom is disabled while recording video clips.

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses no moving lens paris. The camera essentially crops the image to give an appearance of the subject of the picture being an additional 1.1x to 5x larger with the HP M307 camera, or 1.1x to 3x larger with the HP M305 camera.

T Press Zoom In 4 on the Zoom lever to optically zoom in to the maximum level, then release the button.

2 Press Zoom In 4 again and continue to press it until you reach A the desired size in the Image Display. À yellow frame surrounds the area of the image that will be captured, and he image enlarges in the yellow frame.

The resolution number on the right side of the screen also becomes smaller as you digitally zoom. For example, 2.3MP appears in place of 3MP, indicating that the image is being reduced to a size of 2.3 Megapixels.

3 When the image is at the desired size, press the Shutter button to take the picture.

To turn digital zoom off and return to optical zoom, press Zoom Out #4 on the Zoom lever until digital zooming stops. Release Zoom Out #4, and then press it again.

Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 35

NOTE Digital zoom reduces the resolution of an image, so your picture will tend to be more pixilated than the same image taken with optical zoom. If you just intend to e-mail an image or post it to a website, this loss of resolution will not be noticeable; but in situations where the highest quality counts (such as printing), limit the use of digital

NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a human's or animal's eyes appear red in the captured image. When you use a flash setting with red- eye reduction, the camera flashes several times, minimizing the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals. lt will take longer to take a picture using red- eye reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional flashes. In turn, make sure your subjects wait

for the additional flashes.

If the flash setting is anything other than the default Auto Flash setting, the icon for the setting (in the previous table) will appear in the Live View screen. The new seHing remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The flash setting resets to the default Auto Flash setting when you turn the camera off.

NOTE To restore the flash setting to what it was when you last turned the camera off, hold down the Menu/OK button as you turn the camera back on.

Using the Shooting Modes

Shooting modes are pre-defined camera settings that are optimized for taking still pictures of certain scene types to give you better results. In each shooting mode, the camera selecis the best settings, such as the ISO speed, F-number (aperture), and shutter speed, optimizing them for the particular scene or situation.

NOTE The shooting mode does not apply when you are recording video clips.

To change the shooting mode, press the MODE button on the back of the camera until the desired shooting mode appears on the Image Display. The following table describes each of the shooting mode settings on the camera.

The following table explains the Image Quality settings in more detail:

3MP Best| Images will be full resolution and have the lowest compression. This seing produces very high quality images, with greater color accuracy, but uses the most memory. This seing is recommended if you plan to print images at a size larger than 18 by 24 cm (8 by 10 in).

3MP | Images will be full resolution and have medium compression. This seing produces high quality images, but uses less memory than the 3MP Best seing above. This is the default setting and is recommended if you plan to print images up to a size of 13 by18 cm (5 by 7 in).

1MP | Images will be 1280 by 960 (low) resolution and have medium quality and compression. This is a memory- efficient seing, ideal for images that you want to send via e-mail or post to the Internet.

VGA _ |Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and have medium compression. This is a memory-efficient seHing, but produces lower quality images. This seing is good for images you want to send via e-mail or post to the Internet.

46 HP Photosmart M305/M307 User's Manual

The Image Quality seing not only affects the quality of the images but, as a result, also the number of images that can be stored either in the internal memory in the camera or on an opfional memory card. Higher resolution and lower compression images will take up more space than images with lower resolution and/or higher compression. For example, the highest setting, 3MP Best, resulis in high quality images, but consumes more storage space in memory than the next lower setting, 3MP. Likewise, many more still images can be stored in memory at the 1MP or VGA settings than at 3MP: however, these settings will result in much lower quality images.

The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the Image Quality sub-menu screen updates when you highlight each setting. See Memory Capacity on page 148 for more information about how the Image Quality setting affects the number of images that can be saved in the internal memory in the camera.

The Image Quality setting (in the previous table) will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off.

NOTE When you use digital zoom, the resolution changes as you zoom in. See Digital Zoom on page 35.

Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust the white balance to produce creative effects. For example, using the Sun seHing can produce a warmer look to the image.

This setting adiusts the sensitivity of the camera to light. When ISO Speed is set to the default Auto setting, the camera selects the best ISO speed for the scene.

Lower ISO speeds will capture the best quality images with the least amount of grain (or noise), but result in lower shutter speeds. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a flash at ISO 100, you may want to use a tripod. In contrast, higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or pictures of fast moving objects.

How HP Instant Share E-mails Images

The way images are e-mailed via HP Instant Share works much the same on Windows and Macintosh computers.

Images are not e-mailed as attachments. Rather, a message is sent to each e-mail address that you selected in the HP Instant Share Menu. The message contains thumbnail images of the pictures you selected for that address, as well as a link to a web page where the recipient can view the images. From that web page, the recipient can do things like reply to you, print the images, save images to their computer, forward images, and more. This makes it easy for people who use different e-mail programs to be able to see your images without the difficulty of dealing with e-mail attachments.

On Windows, the process of e-mailing images via HP Instant Share is fully automated. After you have selected your destinations, messages will be sent to each of your recipients and the images will be posted on the web page when you transfer the images from the camera to the computer.

On Macintosh, the process of e-mailing images is not automatic. After images marked with HP Instant Share destinations are transferred to your Macintosh, they will be displayed in the HP Instant Share application. Simply follow the instructions in the HP Instant Share application to send your messages and post your images on the web page.

Using Your Camera without Installing the HP Image Zone Software

If you do not, or cannot, install the HP Image Zone software on your computer for some reason (such as there is not enough RAM in your computer, or your computer is not running a supported operating system), you can still use your camera to take pictures and video clips. However, some of the things you can do with the camera will be affected:

«The HP Instant Share feature depends on the HP Image Zone software, so if the software is not installed on your computer, you will not be able to use the HP Instant Share feature on the camera.

Images you have marked for printing using the HP Instant Share Menu on the camera will not automatically print out when the camera is connected to the computer. However, this feature will still work in the following scenarios:

+_ When you connect the camera directly to a printer.

If your printer has a memory card slot in it, and if you are using a memory card in your camera, you can simply remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in the memory card slot in the printer.

«The process for transferring images and video clips from the camera to your computer will be different, since normally the HP Image Zone software handles this task. See the following section for details.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support 89

Transferring Images to a Computer Without HP Image Zone Software

NOTE |f you have a Windows Me, 2000, or XP system, or a Mac OS X system, you do not need to read this section. Simply connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, and the operating system will launch a program to help you transfer images.

If you do not, or cannot, install HP Image Zone on your computer, there are two ways to transfer images from your camera to the computer: using a memory card reader, or configuring the camera as a disk drive.

Using a Memory Card Reader

If you are using a memory card in your camera, you can simply remove it from the camera and put it in a memory card reader (purchased separately). The memory card reader acts just like a floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive. In addition, some compulers and HP Photosmart printers have memory card slots built into them, and you can use these memory card slofs as you would use a regular memory card reader to save images to the computer.

Transferring Images to a Windows Computer

1 Remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into the memory card reader (or the memory card slot in your computer or printer).

2 Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop, then select Explore from the menu.

3 A screen appears hat shows a list of disk drives under My Computer. The memory card shows up as a removable disk drive called either HP_M305 or HP_M307. Click on the + sign just to the left of the removable disk.

90 HP Photosmart M305/M307 User's Manual

4 Two directories (folders) appear under the removable disk. Click on the + sign next to the folder called DCIM, and a subdirectory should appear. When you dlick on the subdirectory under DCIM, the list of your images should appear on the right side of the Explorer screen.

5 Select all the images (in the Edit pull-down menu click on Select All), then copy them (in the Edit menu click on Copy).

6 Click on the Local Disk under My Computer. You are now working in your compuier's hard disk drive.

7 Create a new folder under Local Disk (go to the File pull. down menu and click on New, then click on Folder. A folder called New Folder appears in he right side of the Explorer screen). While the text of this new folder is highlighted, you can type in a new name (for example, Pictures). To change the name of the folder later, you can simply right-click on the folder name, choose Rename from the menu that appears, then type in the new name.

8 Click on the new folder you just created, then go to the Edit pull-down menu and click on Paste.

9 The images you copied in step 5 are pasted into this new folder on your computer's hard drive. To verify that the images were successfully transferred from the memory card, click on the new folder. You should see the same list of files in that folder that you saw when you looked at them on the memory card (step 4).

10When you have verified that the images were successtully transferred from the memory card to your computer, put the card back in your camera. To free up space on the card, you can either delete the images or format the card (under the Delete option in the Playback Menu in the camera).

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support 91

Transferring Images to a Macintosh Computer

1 Remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into the memory card reader (or the memory card slot in your computer or printer).

2 Depending on the configuration and/or version of the Mac OS X operating system you are running, either an application called Image Capture or one called iPhoto will launch automatically and guide you through the process of transferring images from your camera to your computer.

+_Ifthe Image Capture application is launched, click on either the Download Some or Download AIl button to transfer the images to your computer. By default, the images will be put in the Pictures or Movies folder (depending on which kind of file they are).

If the iPhoto application is launched, click on the Import button to transfer the images to your computer. The images will be stored in the iPhoto application. So to access the images later, simply run iPhoto.

If no application launches automatically or if you want to copy the images manually, look on the desktop for a disk drive icon which represents the memory card, then copy the images from there to your local hard drive. For more information about how to copy files, visit Mac help, the help system included with your computer.

a. Turn the camera on, then press the Menu/OK button to display the Capture Menu.

e. Use the æ button to highlight EXIT, and then press Menu/OK.

2 When you have set your camera to Disk Drive mode, connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable.

3 Atthis point, the process for transferring images is the same as described in the section Using a Memory Card Reader on page 90. On Windows computers, the camera will appear as a removable disk in the Windows Explorer screen. On Macintosh computers, either the Image Capture or iPhoto application will launch automatically.

4 When you have finished transferring images from the camera to the computer, simply disconnect the camera from the computer. If your computer is running Windows 2000 or XP, you may get an “Unsafe Removal” warning upon disconnecting the camera. You can disregard this warning.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support 93

NOTE On Macintosh computers, if either Image Capture or iPhoto do not launch automatically, look on the desktop for a disk drive icon with the label HP_M305 or HP_M307. For more information about how to copy files, visit Mac help, the help system included with your computer.

Cleaning the Camera Lens

Do the following to remove lubricant that has seeped from the lens wink mechanism onto the camera lens, as well as fingerprints, dust, and so forth that have accumulated on the lens. To clean the lens, you will need standard lens cleaning paper commonly available at photo-specialty stores, as well as a coton swab.

1 Turn the camera on to open the lens wink mechanism and to extend the lens.

2 Wrap the lens cleaning paper around the end of the coton swab.

3 Using the cotton swab with the lens paper, wipe the lens clean using a circular motion.

When handling the camera after cleaning the lens, use care not to press on the wink mechanism cover when the lens is in the retracted position because this may cause lubricant to seep from the wink mechanism onto the lens.

Appendix A: Managing Batteries

Your camera uses two AA batteries. Do not use ordinary alkaline batteries. For best results, use Energizer Lithium AA or rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA batteries.

Top Points About Batteries

The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure that you fully charge them before using them in the camera.

If you do not intend to use your camera for extended periods of time (more than two months), HP recommends that you remove the batteries unless you are using rechargeable batteries and are leaving 1he camera docked or connected to an optional HP AC power adapter.

e When inserting the batteries in the camera, alWays be sure to orient the batteries as directed by the markings in the battery compartment. If the batteries are inserted improperly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not operate.

e Never use batteries of different chemistries (Lithium and NiMH), brands, or ages. This can cause erratic camera behavior, as well as battery leakage. Always use two identical batteries of the same chemistry, brand, and age.

Appendix A: Managing Batteries 129

e_ The performance of all batteries will decrease as the temperature drops. For best performance in cold environments, use Energizer Lithium AA batteries. NiMH batteries may also provide acceptable low temperature performance. To improve the performance of all battery types, keep the camera and/or batteries stored in a warm inside pocket when in a cold environment.

Extending Battery Life Here are some tips for extending battery life:

e_ Tum offthe Image Display and use the viewfinder instead when framing pictures and video. Leave the Image Display off whenever possible.

Change the Live View at Power On setting in the Setup Menu to Live View Of, so that your camera does not power on in Live View (see Live View at Power On on page 81). Change the Display Brighiness setting in the Setup Menu to Low, so that the Image Display consumes less power when in Live View (see Display Brighiness on page 80).

e Minimize the use of flash by setting your camera to Auto Flash, instead of Flash On (see Seting the Flash on page 36).

Use zoom only when necessary to minimize moving the lens (see Using Zoom on page 34).

130 HP Photosmart M305/M307 User's Manual

e Minimize unnecessary power cycling. If you expect to average more than two pictures every five minutes, leave the camera on with the Image Display off, rather than turning off the camera after each shot. This minimizes the number of times the lens must extend and retract.

Use the optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart Mseries dock when the camera will be on for extended periods of time, such as when you transfer images to your computer or when printing.

Safety Precautions for Using NiMH Batteries

e Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in the camera, the optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, or the optional HP Photosmart Quick Recharger.

Do not place an NiMH battery in fire or heat the battery. Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of an NiMH battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

e Do not carry or store an NiMH battery together with coins, necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects. Placing an NiMH battery in contact with coins is especially dangerous to you! To avoid injury, do not drop this battery into a change-filled pocket.

e Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

Do not solder directly onto the battery.

e Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.

Appendix A: Managing Batteries 131

e Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.

e_Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels excessively hot (note that it is normal for the battery to feel warm), changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any ofher way.

e_ In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to he eye.

Recharging NiMH Batteries

NiMH batteries can be recharged in the camera when the camera is connected to an optional HP AC power adapter or HP Photosmart M-series dock. NiMH batteries can also be recharged with the optional HP Photosmart battery quick recharger. See Appendix B: Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 139.

When the HP AC adapter is used to charge the batteries and the camera is off, the Power light on the back of the camera will blink during charging. When the dock is used, the dock light will blink. When the quick recharger is used, the light on the quick recharger will be red.

The following table shows the average time it takes to recharge NiMH batteries that have been fully discharged, depending on where the batteries are being charged. The table also notes the signal you will see when the batteries have been recharged.

If you will not be using your camera immediately after charging the batteries, we recommend that you leave the camera in the dock or plugged in to the HP AC adapter. The camera will top off the batteries periodically to ensure that the camera is always ready for use.

Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are as follows:

e_ The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure that you fully charge them before using them in the camera.

© You may notice that the first several times you use NiMH batteries, the battery life seems shorter than what you expect. Performance will improve and become optimal after the batteries have been charged and then discharged (used) completely four or five times. You can use the camera normally to discharge the batteries during this “conditioning” period.

e Always recharge both NiMH batteries at the same time. One low-charged battery will reduce the battery life for the other battery in the camera.

e NiMH batteries discharge when not in use, whether they are installed in a camera or not. If they have not been used for more than two weeks, recharge them before using them again. Even if you are not using your batteries, it is a good idea to charge them every six months to a year to prolong their useful life.

«The performance of all rechargeable batteries, including NiMH, will degrade over time, especially if they are stored and used at high temperatures. I battery life has become unacceptably reduced over time, replace the batteries.

Appendix A: Managing Batteries 135

«The camera, the dock, or the quick recharger may be warm while operating and charging NiMH batteries. This is normal.

e NiMH batteries can be left in the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger for any period of time without harm to the batteries or the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger. Always store charged batteries in a cool location.

Safety Precautions for Recharging NiMH Batteries

e Do not charge any batteries other than NiMH batteries in the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger.

Insert the NiMH batteries in the correct orientation in the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger.

«Use the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger in a dry location only.

Do not charge NiMH batteries in a hot location, such as in

direct sunlight or near a fire.

e_ When recharging NiMH batteries, do not cover the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger in any way.

Do not operate the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger if the NiMH batteries appear damaged in any way.

e Do not disassemble the camera, the dock, or the quick

Unplug the HP AC power adapter or the quick recharger from the electrical outlet before cleaning the power adapter or quick recharger.

136 HP Photosmart M305/M307 User's Manual

e After extensive use, an NiMH battery may begin to swell. If it becomes difficult to insert an NiMH battery into or remove the battery from the camera, the dock, or the quick recharger, discontinue use of the battery and replace it with a new one. Please recycle the old battery.

Sleep Time-out for Power Conservation

To conserve battery power, the Image Display turns off automatically if there is no button activity for 20 seconds when in Live View or 30 seconds when in any ofher mode. When the camera is connected to a computer, the Image Display turns off automatically 10 seconds after the connection is made. When the camera is in this “sleep” state, pressing any button will wake up the camera again. If no buttons are pressed during the sleep state, the camera will turn off after an additional

5 minutes, unless it is connected to a computer, printer, or optional HP AC power adapter.
