2 Setting up your camera
Install the batteries
1. Open the Battery/Memory Card door
by sliding the door latch as indicated
on the Battery/Memory Card door.
2. Insert the two AA batteries.
3. Close the Battery/Memory Card door.
NOTE: If using rechargeable NiMH batteries, fully
charge the batteries before using them the first time.
Turn the camera off before removing the batteries.
The batteries shipped with your camera are AA alkaline.
These have a short life and are intended to let you begin
using your camera immediately. When the camera warns
that the battery charge is low, HP recommends replacing
them with Photo Lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries
for longer battery life.
This graph shows the approximate average number of
pictures you can take using Photo Lithium, NiMH, and
Alkaline batteries. Actual performance may vary based on
usage, battery type, and battery manufacturer. Many
additional factors affect the actual number of pictures you
can take (see Extending battery life on page 21).
