Video Out
You can use the procedure in this section to select either NTSC or PAL as the video
output system. You can also specify an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9.
• Output to a TV is not supported while the camera is in the REC mode.
• When the camera is connected to a TV for movie playback, only movie images are
displayed on the TV screen. The camera’s monitor screen will show on-screen
information only (without any movie image).
• Select the aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) that matches the type of TV you plan to use.
Images will not display correctly if you select the wrong aspect ratio.
• Images will not display correctly unless the camera’s video signal output setting
matches the video signal system of the TV or other video equipment.
• Images cannot be displayed correctly on a TV or video equipment that is not NTSC
or PAL.

special startup image provided in the camera’s built-in memory.
• Formatting built-in memory (page 160) will delete the current startup image setting.
• You can select the first snapshot of a CS group as the startup image. If you want to
select another image within a CS group, you need to first divide up the CS group or
use the CS Frame Edit feature to make a copy of the image outside of the CS
group.
