Viewing Images on a TV

Using the supplied [AV cable], you can connect the camera to a TV to view images you have shot.

Attention:
  • Screens or menu listings may differ depending on the camera model being used.
  • As the actual locations of buttons / switches on cameras vary depending on the camera model, the illustrations that appear on this page may differ from your camera.
  • The location of the camera's terminal may differ according to the model.
  • When using [Stitch Assist] (for panoramic images), the images cannot be displayed on a TV screen.
  • Images will not display correctly if the camera's video output setting (NTSC/PAL) does not match the TV system. Press the <MENU> () button, and then select the [Set up] () tab > [Video System] to switch to the correct video output setting.

1. Turn off the camera and the TV.

2. Connect the [AV Cable] that is bundled with the camera to the camera's [A/V OUT] terminal.


3. Plug the other ends of the [AV Cable] into the VIDEO IN and AUDIO IN jacks on the TV.

Plug the yellow terminal of the [AV Cable] into the VIDEO IN jack on the TV.

Plug the black terminal of the [AV Cable] into the AUDIO IN jack on the TV. If the TV has two AUDIO IN jacks (for right and left), plug the AV Cable to either one of them.

4. Turn on the TV and switch it to video mode.

5. Press the <playback> () button to turn on the camera.

The image will appear on the TV (nothing will appear on the screen of the camera).

After you finish viewing, turn off the camera and TV, and unplug the AV cable.

Viewing Images on a High-Definition TV

Use the separately sold HDMI cable [HTC-100] to connect the camera with a high-definition TV for enhanced viewing experience.

1. Turn off the camera and the TV.

2. Connect the [HDMI Cable] that is bundled with the camera to the camera's [HDMI Out Mini Terminal].


3. Plug the other ends of the [HDMI Cable] into the [HDMI Terminal] on the TV.


4. Turn on the TV and switch it to HDMI mode.

5. Press the <playback> () button to turn on the camera.

The image will appear on the TV (nothing will appear on the screen of the camera).

After you finish viewing, turn off the camera and TV, and unplug the [HDMI Cable].
