Solution
With this camera, you can also view still photos and movies on a TV set. To view images on the camera's memory card, it is necessary to connect the camera and television using an HDMI cable.
Viewing images by connecting the camera with HD (high-definition) TV sets is explained below.
CAUTION
Before connecting or disconnecting the cable between the camera and television, turn off the camera and television.
IMPORTANT
- The camera does not have an audio/video OUT terminal. Therefore, the camera cannot be connected to a TV set with an analog AV cable.
- Movies on a card can be played only by devices compatible with MOV files.
- Since hard disk recorders do not have an HDMI IN terminal, the camera cannot be connected to a hard disk recorder with an HDMI cable.
- Even if the camera is connected to a hard disk recorder with a USB cable, movies and still photos cannot be played nor saved.
NOTE

- Depending on the TV set, part of the image displayed might be cut off.

REFERENCE
Shooting movies with the camera connected to a TV
- When the camera is connected to a TV set via HDMI cable, the camera will read the information on the TV set's compatible video input signals. The camera then selects the optimum video output signal (1080/60i, 1080/50i, 480/60p, or 576/50p) and the video is displayed.
- The video image displayed on an HDMI-connected TV set while no movie is being shot (movie Live View) is displayed on the camera's LCD monitor. It cannot be displayed in 16:9 on the LCD monitor.
- When movie shooting starts while the camera is connected to a TV set via HDMI, the video signal will automatically switch to 480/60p or 576/50p due to the imaging engine's compatible limits, resulting in a smaller image size. However, many HD TV sets will automatically try and fit the image to 16:9, so it will look unnatural with the image stretched horizontally.
- If you connect the camera to a TV set and shoot a movie, the TV will not output any sound during the shooting. However, the sound will be properly recorded.
