Overview
With its intuitive button layout and convenient ergonomic grip, the easy-to-use, five-megapixel, 3x optical zoom HP Photosmart M417 Digital Camera with HP Instant Share makes it simple for the first-time digital photographer to capture exceptional photos. The HP Photosmart M417 features exclusive HP Real Life technologies, including adaptive lighting to automatically bring out details normally lost in shadows, and in-camera red-eye removal to remove red-eye directly on the camera. Additionally, the 1.8-inch, high-resolution image LCD screen displays images for viewing right after the photo is taken – even in bright light.
