  • Do not connect any other device's output to the camera's <HDMI OUT> terminal. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

  • The camera's <A/V OUT / DIGITAL> terminal and <HDMI OUT> terminal cannot be used at the same time.

When a TV set compatible with HDMI CEC* is connected to the camera with the HDMI cable, you can use the TV set's remote control for playback operations.
