[Control for HDMI]: Activates the HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Con- trol) function. When you connect the camcorder to an HDTV compatible with HDMI-CEC using an HDMI cable, you can control the camcorder’s playback using the remote control of the TV.

If set to [ On], when the camcorder is connected to a compatible HDTV using an HDMI cable, the video input on the TV will automatically be set to the camcorder’s video input. Then, you can use the up/down/ left/right buttons and the OK or SET button on the TV’s remote control to play back your recordings.

Depending on the TV set, additional settings may be required on the TV itself to activate the HDMI-CEC function. Refer to the TV’s instruction manual.

Correct operation of the HDMI-CEC function cannot be guaranteed even when connecting the camcorder to compatible TV sets. If you

cannot use the remote control of the TV, set [Control for HDMI] to [ Off] and operate the camcorder directly or use the camcorder’s wireless controller.

The remote control of the TV can only be used to play back movies or

photos ( or mode only). If the camcorder is connected to the TV while it is set to a recording mode, depending on the TV used, turn- ing off the TV will automatically turn off the camcorder even if it is recording at the time.

[Photo Numbering]: Select the photo numbering method to be used on a new memory card. Photos are automatically assigned consecutive numbers from 0101 to 9900, and stored in folders containing up to 100 pho- tos. Folders are numbered from 101 to 998.

[ Reset]: Photo numbers will restart from 101-0101 every time you insert a new memory card.

[ Continuous]: Photo numbers will continue from the number following that of the last photo recorded with the camcorder.

If the memory card you insert already contains a photo with a larger number, a new photo will be assigned a number one higher than that of the last photo on the memory card.

We recommend using the [ Continuous] setting.

The photo number indicates the name and location of the file on the memory card. For example, the file name of a photo numbered 101- 0107 is “IMG_0107.JPG”, stored under the folder “DCIM\101CANON”.

[Firmware]: You can verify the current version of the camcorder's firm- ware. This menu option is usually unavailable.
