Viewing still photos and movies on TV sets

With this camera, you can also view still photos and movies on a TV set. To view images on the camera's memory card, it is necessary to connect the camera and television using a video cable or an HDMI cable.

Viewing images by connecting the camera with non-HD and HD (high-definition) TV sets is explained below.

Attention:
  • Before connecting or disconnecting the cable between the camera and television, turn off the camera and television.
Note:
  • Adjust the movie's sound volume with the TV set.
  • Depending on the TV set, part of the image displayed might be cut off.
    Viewing on Non-HD (High-Definition) TV Sets

1. Connect the provided AV cable to the camera.

Connect the AV cable to the camera's <A/V OUT / DIGITAL> terminal.

With the plug's <Canon> logo facing the back of the camera, insert it into the <A/V OUT / DIGITAL> terminal.

2. Connect the AV cable to the TV set.

Connect the AV cable to the TV's video IN terminal and to the audio IN terminal.

  • Do not use any AV cable other than the one provided. Images might not be displayed if you use a different cable.
Viewing on HD (High-Definition) TV Sets

The HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) is required to connect with HD TVs.
