Displaying Images on a TV

Using the Dock

Confirm the following:

•

The dock insert that came in your camera box is attached to the

top of the camera dock (see the camera dock Setup poster).

•

The audio/video cable is connected between the camera dock

and your TV, and the power cable is plugged into the dock (see

the camera dock Setup poster).

Your camera will send either an NTSC or PAL video signal

to a TV. The NTSC format is used primarily in North

America and Japan, while the PAL format is used primarily

in Europe. This setting is made for you when you set the

language of the camera. To check the current setting or

change the video signal format, go to the

TV Configuration

setting in the

Setup

Your camera will be the source for the TV signal (just like a

VCR or camcorder), so you must set the TV to take video

input from an external video source (your camera) instead

of the antenna or TV cable. Refer to the TV user’s manual

for directions on how to do this.

Place the camera into the camera dock. The camera will turn

on automatically.

Press the

button on the dock. The camera starts a

slideshow of each image, playing any attached audio clip

or video clip, and then switching to the next image. You can

also manually scroll through the images by pressing the

buttons on the camera. To end the slideshow, press the

button again.

NOTE

The Image Display on the camera turns off when the

camera is connected to a TV, but you can still use the

Playback

and

menus, because the menus will

display on the TV screen.
