Product Information

The Hewlett-Packard Photosmart M527 Digital Camera is compact and easy to use, yet produces superb image quality and is loaded with features to make your shooting experience a pleasure. The camera produces images with 6-megapixels of resolution for beautiful prints and enlargements up to poster-size, and the HP Precision 3x optical zoom lens combined with a 7x digital zoom provides a total zoom of 21x.

In addition, the camera features HP Real Life technologies to help take the guesswork out of digital photography and make it easy to produce great photos that are crisp, realistic and true-to-life. HP Real Life technologies include the HP Design Gallery so users can add artistic effects and borders right in the camera - no PC or software required, in-camera red-eye removal to remove red-eye while images are still in the camera, in-camera Panorama Stitching stitches up to 5 photos together, and an on-camera button to easily order and share photos on Snapfish using HP Photosmart Express. Furthermore, you'll get HP Photosmart Software - a complete, easy-to-use software solution for editing, organizing, printing and sharing digital photos.

Features

• 6.0 Megapixel Resolution

Get beautiful prints and enlargements with true-to-life detail and photo quality prints up to 16" x 20" thanks to 6.0 megapixels of resolution.

• 3x Optical Zoom

The 3x HP Precision Zoom Lens is combined with 7x digital zoom for a total zoom of 21x so you'll get crisp, clear, and detailed shots from a distance

• Easy Shooting Modes

The Photosmart M527 Digital Camera has a range of shooting modes that provide predefined settings for everyday situations. They are optimized for particular types of scenes or shooting situations and include Beach and Snow, Landscape, Night portrait, and more.

• Built-in and Expandable Memory

The Photosmart M527 Digital Camera can store dozens of photos with its 16 MB of internal memory; or use an optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMediaCard (MMC) memory card for extra capacity. The camera will work with memory cards up to 1GB capacity.

• 2.0" Color Image Display

Easily frame and view photos - indoors or out - with the bright 2.0" LCD Display. The LCD is specially designed to be easily viewable - even in direct sunlight.

• In-camera Editing Features

The Photosmart M527 Digital Camera includes useful in-camera editing features. HP In-camera Red-eye Removal automatically recognizes red-eye and lets you remove it immediately via your camera's LCD screen, without having to transfer photos to your computer. HP In-camera Panorama Stitching stitches up to 5 photos together to create a single photo for easy printing, and lets you view the result via the LCD. HP Design Gallery lets users add creative touches to photos with artistic effects, borders, and more - right in the camera

• Docking Capability

Easily send photos to your PC using the optional HP Photosmart 6220 series camera dock. It features one-touch printing and activation of HP Instant Share. The dock recharges NiMH batteries and can be attached to your TV for photo slide shows in your living room.

• HP Instant Share

Snap a photo and choose from multiple destinations (e-mail addresses, online albums and more) that you've set up on your camera to send your picture. Dock or connect the camera to your PC and HP Instant Share sends the photos instantly without burdening friends with large attachments.

• Direct Print Capable

Easily print photos without a PC, directly from your camera to HP Photosmart printers and select HP all-in-ones via included USB cable or with a memory card (the camera supports PictBridge for worry-free photo printing)
