Playback on the TV

Neither image nor sound is played on the connected TV.

Images are not output from the HDMI OUT jack, if copyright protection signals are recorded in the images.

The top, bottom, right, and left edges of images are trimmed slightly on a connected TV.

The LCD screen of your camcorder can display recording images across the entire screen (full pixel display). However, this may cause slight trimming of the top, bottom, right, and left edges of images when played back on a TV which is not compatible with full pixel display.

It is recommended you record images using the outer frame of [Guide Frame] as a guide. [Details]
