NOTE
• Use a HDMI cable that with a plug that is compatible with the camera’s HDMI mini 
connector on one end, and a plug that is compatible with your TV’s HDMI 
connector on the other end.
• Proper image and/or audio output and other operations may not be possible with 
some devices.
• Connecting the camera to the HDMI connector of another device can damage both 
the camera and the other device. Never connect two HDMI output connectors to 
each other.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before plugging in or unplugging the cable. 
Check the user documentation that comes with the TV for information about 
requirements before plugging into or unplugging from the TV.
• When cables are connected to both the USB/AV port and the HDMI output 
connector, the HDMI output connector connection is given priority.
• Disconnect the HDMI cable when you are not using HDMI output. The camera’s 
monitor screen may not operate normally while the HDMI cable is connected.
• Audio is stereo.
• Audio is initially output by the camera at maximum volume. When you first start 
displaying images, set the TV volume control at a relatively low level and then 
adjust it as required.
. Selecting the HDMI Terminal Output Method (HDMI Output)
Procedure
[MENU] * “¥ SETTING” Tab * HDMI Output
Use this setting to select the digital signal format when connecting to a TV with an 
HDMI cable.
* 1080i corresponds to 1080 60i, but not 1080 50i. Because of this, the required 
output method may be 576p when outputting to a digital TV in a PAL reception area 
that does not support 1080i 60i. If you are in a PAL reception area and nothing is 
displayed automatically, change the setting to 576p.
• If an image does not appear when “Auto” is selected as the output method, try 
changing this setting to something else.
Auto
This setting will cause the format to change automatically in accordance 
with the connected TV. Normally, you should use this mode.
