Using Your Camera without
Installing the HP Image Zone
Software
If you do not, or cannot, install the HP Image Zone software on
your computer for some reason (such as there is not enough
RAM in your computer, or your computer is not running a
supported operating system), you can still use your camera to
take pictures and video clips. However, some of the things you
can do with the camera will be affected:
The
HP Instant Share
feature depends on the HP Image
Zone software, so if the software is not installed on your
computer, you will not be able to use the
HP Instant Share
feature on the camera.
Images you have marked for printing using the
HP Instant
Share Menu
on the camera will not automatically print out
when the camera is connected to the computer. However,
this feature will still work in the following scenarios:
When you connect the camera directly to a printer.
If your printer has a memory card slot in it, and if you are
using a memory card in your camera, you can simply
remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in
the memory card slot in the printer.
The process for transferring images and video clips from the
camera to your computer will be different, since normally
the HP Image Zone software handles this task. See the
following section for details.
