VIDEO OUTPUT

Camera images can be displayed on a television. The video output can be changed between NTSC and PAL. North America uses the NTSC standard and Europe uses the PAL standard. Check which standard is used in your region to play back images on your television set.

VIEWING IMAGES ON A TELEVISION

It is possible to view camera images on your television. The camera has a video-out terminal which can be used to connect the camera to a television using the supplied video cable.

1. Turn off the television and the camera.

2. Slide the terminal cover open (1) and insert the plug of the video cable into the camera’s video-out terminal (2).

3. Plug the other end of the video cable into the video input terminal on the television.

The data-transfer mode must be specified depending on whether the camera is used to transfer data to a computer or print images with a PictBridge compatible printer. Select the appropriate option:

Data storage - to transfer data between the camera and a computer. This option must be selected when moving image files to a computer or when using the DiMAGE Viewer or DiMAGE Master software.
