HP PhotoSmart 635 Review

Playback mode is entered by pressing the Play button on the back. Across the top is the battery condition icon. There is a status line at the bottom with the current picture number and total number of pictures.

The menu options are:

Record Audio - Records up to 60 sec. of audio

Delete - Delete current, all or format

Magnify - Magnify the current image 4x (see below)

Rotate - Rotate image 90° CW, may be used multiple times

Image Info - See previous screen

SETUP - Enter the SETUP menu, described on the previous page

When you select the MAGNIFY option from the menu it enlarges the current image 4X and then scroll right or left or up and down by using the 4 way Navigation control. No other magnifications are offered.

Up to 60-second voice memos can be attached to still images and then played back through the camera's speaker.

The motion video and audio clips are played back full-screen on the LCD.

The HP Photo Imaging Software will auto launch when your camera is connected via the USB cable provided or the optional Dock is attached. As you move your mouse over each of the selections the main body of the window explains the option you are hovering over. If, in the camera you have tagged (DPOF) the images for printing or email, as soon as the auto upload to the computer has completed that process is automatically started. If no DPOF selections were made you can choose those actions here.

HP also provides a reasonable image manipulation package so, if you have that desire, you can tweak your images to your ideal before printing or emailing. The software was easy to use and has more capabilities than most users would ever want.
