Configuring the Camera as a Disk Drive
You can set up your camera to function as a disk drive when
it is connected to your computer, so you can transfer images
without using the HP Image Zone software.
NOTE: You may be unable to use this method with
Windows 98 computers.
1. Set your camera to act as a Disk Drive (you only need to
do this step once):
a. Turn the camera on, then press the
button, then
use the button to navigate to the Setup Menu .
b. Use the button to highlight the USB menu option,
then use the button to select Disk Drive.
c. Use the button to highlight EXIT, and then press the
button.
2. Connect the camera to your computer using the USB
cable.
3. At this point, the process is the same as described in
Using a Memory Card Reader on page 141. 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 and you get an Unsafe Removal warning,
disregard the warning.
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_R717. For more
