Its durable metal design and easy-to-use buttons, coupled with a unique, ergonomic grip, feels great and keeps the camera steady for quick, one-handed shots.

HP Real Life Technologies
HP Real Life technologies help take the guesswork out of digital photography. These technologies, developed in HP Labs, make it easy to produce great photos that are crisp, realistic and true-to-life. HP Real Life technologies include Adaptive Lighting technology that adjusts high-contrast photos, helping bring faces out of shadows and details out of backgrounds; in-camera red-eye removal to remove the red-eye while images are still in the camera; in-camera panorama preview allowing the user to view a stitched image on the camera before loading to a computer; and HP Image Advice provides tips on how to improve a specific photo the next time it is taken.

HP Instant Share
HP Instant Share makes sharing, printing and saving digital photos easy. Users simply take a photo and select a destination on the back of the camera - up to 34, including email addresses, online albums and printers - by simply pushing a button. When the digital camera is later connected to a computer either directly or via the optional camera dock, the selected photos are automatically sent to the pre-selected destination without burdening the recipient with large file attachments. E-mail recipients see thumbnails of the images in the body of the e-mail message, as well as a link to the web page where they can easily view, print, save and upload the photos to online albums.
