Canon EOS 5D Mark 2 s, Tutorials Manual

Page: 37 / 77

When connected, the camera communicates with the display and determines its maximum
resolution (many HDTVs actually support up to 720p resolution, while others deliver up to
1080p full resolution). Once the display resolution is identified, the camera feeds it the right
format signal so you get the maximum sharpness from the display.
Both the EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II include a standard, single-pin video-out cable
for viewing images on a conventional TV. A compatible HDMI cable with “mini HDMI”
connector to plug into the camera is required for hook-up to newer HDTVs; this is not
included with either camera and must be purchased separately. Canon’s optional accessory
mini-HDMI Cable HTC-100 or a similar third-party cable can be used.
