While the video cable is connected, the camera functions normally in all respects. The image in the monitor will be displayed on the television screen while the monitor is on. We recommend that the camera be powered with an AC adapter (avail- able separately) during television playback to avoid draining the battery. For information on connecting an AC adapter, see the documentation provided with the adapter. When connected to AC adapter, the monitor will power off automatically if no operations are peformed for ten minutes, regardless of the setting in the Moni-

tor Off Delay (Custom Setting 18; pg. 170) or Monitor Off ( pg. 145) menus.

The default setting is NTSC. When connecting the camera to PAL device, the setting must be changed.

Connecting and Disconnecting theVideo Cable

Be sure the camera is off before connecting or disconnecting the video cable.

At a video-mode setting of PAL, the number of pixels in the video output will be selectively reduced, with the result that images displayed on any PAL-compliant video device to which the camera is connected will show a drop in resolution.

Video Output ( pg. 144)

The Video Output option in the setup menu offers a choice of NTSC and PAL video standards for output to video devices.
