Displaying Images on a TV

Images in your camera can easily be displayed as a slideshow

on almost any television.

NOTE

You can also use the optional HP 8881 camera dock to

do this task. See

Appendix B: Camera Dock

on

page 129.

1

To connect the camera directly to a TV, you need an A/V

(Audio/Video) cable. The A/V cable is included in the

HP 8881 camera dock kit, or may be purchased separately

(see

Purchasing Camera Accessories

on page 126).

2

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

menu. See

TV Configuration

on

page 89.

3

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

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

input from an external video source (your camera) instead

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

directions on how to do this.
