About the red-eye phenomenon

Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in

the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is

reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by increasing the illumination

in the area around the subject and/or decreasing the subject distance and

adjusting the lens to wider angle setting. Setting the flash mode to D, F or

H is also an effective way of reducing red eyes.

If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected

by the Red-eye Edit function (p.153).

Expanding the Dynamic Range

Dynamic range is the ratio that indicates the light level expressed

by the CMOS sensor pixels from bright areas to dark areas. The

larger it is, the better the whole range from dark to bright areas will

appear in the picture.

By expanding the dynamic range, you can expand the light level

expressed by the CMOS sensor pixels, making it more difficult for

bright areas or dark areas to occur in the image.

To expand the dynamic range, make the settings in [D-Range

Setting] in the [A Rec. Mode 2] menu (p.104).

To Adjust the Exposure

This allows you to deliberately overexpose (brighten) or underexpose

Connecting the Camera to AV

Equipment

By connecting the camera to a TV or other equipment with a video input

terminal or HDMI terminal, you can play back images.

• If you intend to use the camera continuously for a long period, use of

the AC adapter kit K-AC130 (optional) is recommended (p.42).

• For AV equipment with multiple video input terminals, check the

operating manual of the AV equipment, and select the video input

terminal to which the camera is connected.

• You cannot output a composite and HDMI video signal at the same

time.

• You cannot adjust the volume on the camera when connected to AV

equipment. Adjust the volume on the AV equipment.

Connecting the Camera to a Video Input Terminal

Use the optional AV cable (I-AVC7) to connect the camera to equipment

with a video input terminal.

Turn the AV equipment and camera off.

Open the terminal cover, face the arrow mark on the AV

cable towards the 2mark on the camera, and connect

the cable to the PC/AV terminal.

When using stereo sound equipment, insert the sound connector into

the L (white) terminal.

Turn the AV equipment on.

When the equipment that the camera is connected to and the equipment

that plays back images are different, turn both on.

When viewing images on AV equipment with multiple video input

terminals (such as a TV), refer to the operation manual of the

equipment and select the video input terminal to which the camera is

connected.

Turn the camera on.

• The video output format differs depending on the region. When you set

[Select Time] in the World Time setting (p.174) to X (Destination), the

video output setting changes to the video output format for that city.

• Depending on the country or region, images and sounds may fail to be

played back if the video output format is set differently from the one in

use there. If this happens, change the video output format setting

(p.183).

• The camera display turns off and the volume cannot be adjusted by

turning the zoom lever while the camera is connected to AV

equipment.

When using the video output, images/movies are output at normal

resolution regardless of the resolution supported by the AV device. To

output HD video, use the HDMI output (p.140) or transfer to and play

back on a computer (p.196).

• The HDMI output format is set to [Auto] by default. With this setting,

the image is displayed in the largest resolution that the connected AV

equipment or camera supports. You can change setting according to

the output format of your AV equipment or camera (p.184).

• When the HDMI output format is set to [1080i] or [720p], the image is

displayed with a 16:9 aspect ratio on the connected AV equipment or

camera. The display may appear with a screen design that differs from

that displayed on this camera.
