Viewing Images on a TV Monitor

Television monitors can be used for image replay. 

Procedures:

1. Connect the TV to your digital camera. 

* Connect one end of the video cable (Sub-mini plug) to the VIDEO OUT terminal of the digital camera and the other end of the cable 

(PIN plug) to the VIDEO IN port of the television.

2. Turn on the camera and the TV.
3. Select the appropriate “

VIDEO MODE

” setting (NTSC/PAL) from the “SETUP MENU” according to the TV standard you are using.

4. Replay the recorded images the same way as you would replay them on the LCD monitor.

Note:

The VIDEO OUT function is highly power consumptive. Hence, batteries may be depleted sooner than normal.
