Chapter 1:
Getting started
Congratulations on your purchase of this digital camera! Your
new camera has many features to enhance your picture-taking
experience, including HP Instant ShareTM, direct printing
capability, manual and automatic controls, on-camera Help,
and an optional camera dock.
With HP Instant Share, you can easily select pictures on your
camera to e-mail or print automatically the next time you
connect the camera to your computer. So, within minutes, your
friends and family can be viewing your pictures without
burdening them with large e-mail attachments. Or you can use
the direct printing capability with any HP Photosmart printer or
other select HP printer without ever connecting to your
computer. What a great way to keep others close while you
capture precious memories!
To further enhance your experience, you may purchase an
HP Photosmart 8886 camera dock (see page 103). The
camera dock allows you to easily download images to a
computer, send images to a printer or television, and recharge
the camera batteries.
NOTE A dock insert is included in your
camera box which enables your
camera (and others of the same
model) to use the HP camera dock.
Please do not use the dock insert
without the camera dock and do not discard it. See the
HP 8886 Camera Dock User’s Manual for instructions on
using the dock insert with the camera dock.
