HP Photosmart M22/M23 User’s Manual
• When you take pictures in wet weather, always make sure
the Battery/Memory card door, the dock connector door,
and the door covering the USB and HP
AC power
adapter connector are firmly closed. If they are not,
moisture could seep into the camera and cause damage.
• Before storing the camera, wipe moisture from the camera
body with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
• Whenever you go from a cold location to a warm one
(from a snowy mountain to a hotel room, for example),
wrap the camera tightly in a plastic bag. Let the camera
adapt to the warmer temperature for about an hour
before removing it from the plastic bag. Doing so will
help prevent condensation inside the camera and extend
its life.
• Store your digita l camera in a cool, dry plac e away from
windows, furnaces, and damp basements.
• Always slide the lens cover over the lens when you are
not using your camera. This precaution not only protects
the lens from dust and scratches but also conserves
battery life.
• Clean your camera body, Image Display, and lens
regularly with cleaning supplies designed specifically for
cameras. See
Cleaning the Camera on page 165.
• Keep your camera and accessories in a padded case
with a good strap for easy transport. Most HP digital
camera cases have built-in pockets for batteries and
memory cards. See
Purchasing Camera Accessories on
page 159.
• Always keep your camera equipment with you as carry-
on when you travel. Never check it with suitcases, since
rough handling and extreme weather can damage it.
