Connecting to Televisions, Computers, and Printers

By connecting the camera to another device using the supplied A/V or USB cables, you can:

•View pictures on TV and record movies to video (see below)

•Copy pictures to a computer for storage and editing ( 54–56)

•Print pictures on a home printer ( 57) or order prints from photoﬁ nisher

Pictures can also be transmitted to a computer or printed over a wireless LAN ( 63–73). Before connecting the camera to another device, it may be necessary to change the Interface settings in the setup menu ( 56, 89). To prevent the cam- era from turning oﬀ unexpectedly during connection, use fully charged batteries or the supplied AC adapter.

Viewing Pictures on TV

1 Check that the option selected for Inter- face > Video mode matches the device to which the camera will be connected ( 89), and then turn the camera oﬀ.

2 Connect the COOL-STATION to the TV using the supplied A/V cable. Connect the black plug to the COOL-STATION, the yellow plug to the video-in jack on the TV, and the white plug to the audio-in jack.

3Tune the television to the video channel. If in doubt, consult the documenta- tion for the TV.

4Place the camera in the COOL-STATION and press thebutton for about a second to turn the camera on. The camera monitor will remain oﬀ and the television will show the image normally shown in the monitor.

Viewing Pictures on a Computer

Before pictures can be transferred (copied) to a computer via USB, PictureProject must be installed. For more information on installing and using PictureProject, see reference CD and Quick Start Guide. To transfer pictures to a computer:
