Viewing on TV screen (Continued)
Viewing on a TV with HDMI Socket 
An HDMI mini cable (sold separately) can be used to enable enjoyment o\
f pictures and motion 
pictures in high resolution.
What is HDMI?
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface for digita\
l video devices. 
Digital video and audio signals can be outputted by connecting the camer\
a to 
an HDMI-compatible device. This camera can be connected to a High-definition 
TV compatible with HDMI to enjoy recorded pictures and motion pictures a\
t high 
resolution. Connecting the camera to a Panasonic TV (VIERA) compatible with VIERA 
Link (HDMI) enables linked operation (VIERA Link). (P.109)
Preparation: 
•  Check the ‘HDMI MODE’. (P.25)
•   Turn off the camera and TV.
   Do not use any other cables except a genuine Panasonic HDMI mini cable (\
RP-CDHM15/RP-CDHM30; optional).   Playback cannot be performed in CLIPBOARD Mode.   Blank stripes may appear at the sides or at the top and bottom of the sc\
reen, depending on aspect ratio setting.   Cables that do not comply with HDMI standards will not work.   Pictures cannot be simultaneously displayed on the LCD monitor.   We recommend taking pictures with a ‘PICTURE SIZE’ (P.69) setting of at least 2 M and recording 
motion pictures with ‘REC QUALITY’ (P.80) set to ‘SH’, ‘H’, ‘L’, or ‘HD’.
   Following functions cannot be set in Playback Mode.
    TITLE EDIT, TEXT STAMP, RESIZE, TRIMMING, LEVELING, ASPECT CONV., AUDIO DUB., FACE 
RECOG., COPY, multiple selection (delete, etc.), etc.
   HDMI output will be canceled if a USB connection cable is connected simu\
ltaneously.   No picture output will occur through AV cables connected.   When playing motion pictures/pictures with audio recorded with other dev\
ices, video/audio may not 
always be played back correctly.
   Images may be momentarily distorted immediately after commencing playbac\
k or pausing on certain televisions.    Always read your television’s operating instructions.  ‘HDMI MODE’ (P.25) ‘1080i’ is only effective in the following cases:
