uCaution

•When using the video output, images are output at normal resolution regardless of the resolution supported by the AV device. To output HD video, use the HDMI output or transfer to and play back on a computer.

•While the camera is connected to an AV device, nothing is displayed on the camera monitor. Also, you cannot adjust the volume on the camera. Adjust the volume on the AV device.

•You cannot output both composite and HDMI video signals at the same time.

tMemo

•Check the operating manual of the AV device and select a suitable input terminal for connecting the camera.

•If you intend to use the camera continuously for a long period, use of the AC adapter kit (optional) is recommended.

•When the hometown is set at the time of initial setting (p.25), the video output format is also set in accordance with that region. When you set [Time Setting] to [Destination] in [World Time] of the D1 menu, the video output setting changes to the video output format for that city. Depending on the country or region, images may fail to be played back with the set video output format. If this happens, change the setting in [Video Out] of [Interface Options] in the D2 menu. Refer to “List of World Time Cities” (p.82) for video output format for cities that can be selected as a hometown or destination.

•By default, the maximum resolution is automatically selected to suit the AV device and camera. If it fails to play back images properly, change the setting in [HDMI Out] of [Interface Options] in the D2 menu.
