Congratulations on your purchase of this digital camera! Your
new camera has many features to enhance your picture-taking

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!
Tofurther enhance your experience, you may purchase an
HP Photosmart 8886 camera dock (seepage 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.

camera box whichenables your
camera (and others of the same
model) to usethe HP camera dock.

without the camera dock and do not discard it. See the
HP 8886 Camera Dock User's Manual for instructions on
