HP / Hewlett-Packard Photosmart M437 Digital Camera

Features
Specifications

The Hewlett-Packard Photosmart M437 Digital Camera is compact and easy to use, yet produces superb image quality. It is loaded with features to make your shooting experience a pleasure, and produces images with 5-megapixels of resolution for beautiful prints and enlargements up to poster-size. Plus the HP Precision 3x optical zoom lens combined with a 5x digital zoom provides a total zoom of 15x.

In addition, the camera features HP Real Life technologies to help take the guesswork out of digital photography. This makes it easy to produce great photos that are crisp, realistic and true-to-life. It also features the HP Design Gallery so that users can add artistic effects and borders and remove red-eye right in the camera.

You will also receive HP Photosmart Software - a complete, easy-to-use software solution for editing, organizing, printing and sharing digital photos.

• 5.0 Megapixel Resolution: Get beautiful prints and enlargements with true-to-life detail and photo quality prints up to 11" x 14" thanks to 5.0 megapixels of resolution.

• 3x Optical Zoom: The 3x optical zoom HP Precision Lens is combined with 5x digital zoom for a total zoom of 15x so you'll get crisp, clear, and detailed shots from a distance.

• Steady Photo Anti-shake Feature: The HP Steady Photo Anti-shake feature provides shorter exposure times by boosting the camera sensitivity to helps freeze motion for sharp, clear photos every time.

• Easy Shooting Modes: The Photosmart M437 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.

• Record Video and Print Video stills: The Photosmart M437 Digital Camera can record VGA and QVGA quality Video at 24 fps and includes HP video print technology that lets you select a single video frame to save as a separate still image. Video print uses special image processing techniques to extract a frame from the video, improve the quality, reduce MPEG artifacts, and create a still image from any frame in the video.

• Built-in and Expandable Memory: The Photosmart M437 Digital Camera can store dozens of photos with its 16 MB of internal memory; or use an optional Secure Digital (SD) memory card for extra capacity. The camera will work with memory cards up to 2GB 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 M437 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 - right in the camera. Choose from traditional touches like borders, or try something unconventional like a kaleidoscope effect.

• 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. Users can also take advantage of Snapfish, HP's on-line photo service, for convenient sharing and ordering of 4 x 6" prints by mail

• Docking Capability: Easily send photos to your PC using the optional HP Photosmart 2200 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.

• Direct Print Capable: The Photosmart M437 camera supports PictBridge so you can asily print photos without a PC, directly from your camera to HP Photosmart printers, select HP all-in-ones or ant PictBridge enabled printer via the included USB cable.
