Chapter 9 Video recording terminates abruptly and the video will not play back. • Remove the memory card and see if the video is stored in internal memory. If so, transfer the video to a memory card (see Move Images to Card under "Using the Playback Menu" on page 18) or to your computer (see "Transferring and printing images" on page 23). • If the video is stored on a memory card, transfer the video to your computer (see "Transferring and printing images" on page 23), then reformat the card (see "Install and format an optional memory card" on page 6). The camera gets warm (or even hot) to the touch. This is normal. However, if anything seems out of the ordinary, turn off the camera and allow the camera to cool. Then examine the camera and the batteries for signs of possible damage. For best image quality, turn off the camera when not using. Always store the camera in a cool place. My camera stalls when establishing a connection to the computer. • Your memory card may have a large number of images stored on it. The more images you have on your card, the longer it takes to establish a connection to the computer (up to 5 minutes). If you have a large number of images on the memory card, be sure to allow this additional time to establish the connection. • Ensure that the USB cable is properly connected to the camera and computer. • Try connecting the USB cable to another USB port on the computer. • Turn the camera off, then on again. If that does not fix the problem, reset the camera (see "Resetting the camera" on page 32). • If the problem persists, contact HP Support (see "Product support" on page 38). I cannot transfer images from the camera to my computer. • Either install the HP Photosmart Software (see "Install the software" on page 6), or see "Transferring images without HP Photosmart Software" on page 24. • Configure your camera preferences so the HP Photosmart software starts automatically when you connect your camera to your Macintosh.
