Chapter 6: Menu and Soft Key Reference Note: Updates for your camera's firmware are posted from time-to-time on the HP website at: www.hp.com/photosmart. You can install these updates on your camera so that you can always have the most current functionality running on it. Note: The PC Connect mode does not have any menus or soft keys; thus, that mode is not included in this chapter.
