My camera is connected to my TV with the video cable to play back 
my photos, but I don’t see any images. 

TVs have AV (Audio Visual) input channels (usually found below Channel 2) to play 

images and videos from digital cameras and camcorders.  Using the TV channel selector, 
move downward through the channels until you see the camera menu on the TV screen. 
If the image quality on the TV screen appears to be distorted, the camera may be set to 

a video output format that is incompatible with your TV.  In the 

Z

 Custom 2 menu, 

check the VIDEO OUT setting.  In North America, the setting should be NTSC

I cannot control my camera with the RM-1 Remote Control although 
the camera is set up correctly for remote control shooting.  Why not? 

Other than the battery being exhausted, the frequency of the RM-1 may need to be 
changed for the remote control to be recognized by the camera.  With the camera on, 

point the RM-1 at the Remote Control lamp on the front of the camera.  On the RM-1, 
press the [CH] button and the [W] or [T] button simultaneously until you see the camera 

Remote Control lamp blink.  The RM-1 frequency will then be compatible with the camera.
