Connecting the Camera to the HDTV 

To view the high resolution quality videos recorded with your camera, connect the camera to an 

HDTV with the HDMI (purchased separately). 

On plugging the HDMI cable to the camera‟s HDMI port, the LCD screen turns blank. Use the 

camera as you would to capture and playback photos and videos. The images will appear on the 

HDTV instead of on the LCD screen. 

Note

: The only limitation of using the HDTV screen is that the camera is now not portable. 

 

1) 

Connect the camera to an HDTV with the HDMI cable. 

2) 

Turn on the HDTV and switch to HDMI-mode. 

3) 

Turn on the camera. When the camera is set to Video or Photo Capture mode, you can 

preview the subjects you want to record on the TV screen and view the recording on the TV. 

4) 

When the camera is set to Playback mode, you can review all the stored photos and videos 

on the TV. 

5) 

In Playback Mode, push the 

Left

 or 

Right

 button to select the video file to view.

Press the 

Video

 

Shutter

 button to play the selected video file. Press it again to pause 

playing.
