[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 num-
bers 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.
