Viewing still photos and movies on TV sets

With this camera, you can also view still photos and movies on a TV set. To view images on the camera's memory card, it is necessary to connect the camera and television using a stereo AV cable or an HDMI cable.

Viewing images by connecting the camera with non-HD and HD (high-definition) TV sets is explained below.

IMPORTANT

Before connecting or disconnecting the cable between the camera and television, turn off the camera and TV set.

NOTE

Adjust the movie’s sound volume with the TV set. The sound volume cannot be adjusted with the camera.
Depending on the TV set, part of the image displayed may be cut off.

Viewing on HD (High-Definition) TV Sets

The HDMI Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) is required to connect with HD TVs.

1. Connect the HDMI cable to the camera.

With the plug's <

HDMI MINI> logo facing the front of the camera, insert it into the <HDMI OUT> terminal.

2. Connect the HDMI cable to the TV's HDMI IN port.

3. Turn on the TV and switch the TV's video input to select the connected port.

4. Set the camera’s power switch to <ON>.

5. If the <

> (Playback) button is pressed, the image will appear on the TV screen. (Nothing will be displayed on the camera's LCD monitor.)

The images will be displayed automatically at the TV's optimum resolution.
By pressing the <INFO.> button, you can change the display format.
To playback the movie, follow the procedure explained in [Playing Movies].

IMPORTANT

Do not connect any other device’s output to the camera’s <HDMI OUT> terminal. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
Certain TVs may not be able to play back the captured images. In such a case, use the stereo AV cable AVC-DC400ST (sold separately) to connect to the TV.
The images cannot be output at the same time from both the <HDMI OUT> and <A/V OUT> terminals.

REFERENCE

For HDMI CEC TV sets

When a TV set compatible with HDMI CEC is connected to the camera with the HDMI cable, you can use the TV set's remote control for playback operations. For more information, please refer to the instruction manuals that came with your camera.

Viewing on Non-HD (High-Definition) TV Sets

1. Connect the stereo AV cable AVC-DC400ST (sold separately) to the camera.

With the plug’s <Canon> logo facing the back of the camera, insert it into the < A/V OUT > terminal.

2. Connect the AV cable to the TV set.

Connect the AV cable to the TV’s video IN terminal and audio IN terminal.

3. Turn on the TV and switch the TV’s video input to select the connected port.

4. Set the camera’s power switch to <ON>.
