“PhotoTV HD”
This camera is compatible with the “PhotoTV HD” standard.

- “PhotoTV HD” allows for a highly-detailed, photo-like expression of subtle textures and colors.

- When the camera is connected to a Sony TV compatible with Video A mode using an HDMI Cable, your TV is automatically set to the picture quality suitable for still images. When the setting of the TV is set to Video, the picture quality is set to that suitable for movies.

- When playing back an AVCHD movie, it is recommended that you set [View Mode] to [AVCHD view].

- For details, see the operating instructions of the TV.

Notes

- Images shot in [VGA] image size cannot be played back in the HD format.

- Do not connect the camera and equipment to be connected using both output terminals. When the camera and TV are connected using output terminals, no video or sound are produced. Such a connection can also cause problems with the camera and/or connected equipment.
