unloading pictures to your computer or connecting to a
printer or TV.

pressing the Display button.
z
Use Auto Flas h rather than Flash On (fill flash), unless
needed.

HP AC adapter or the optional HP Photosmart camera dock
8881.

Sleep state or while it is off).
2 Plug in the HP AC adapter or place the camera in the HP
