NOTE

With

button on the remote control, you can switch the size of movie display between normal and double in full size mode.

In case of displaying movie pictures,

1) If your DSC supports SD card/MMC, insert the card to the monitor directly rather than USB.

2) If your DSC is PictBridge-compatible and has a function to switch between PTP and Mass Storage connection, change your setting to Mass Storage and then connect to Photo Input terminal so that it can be available on both Still and Movie pictures. PTP connection can display still pictures but not movie pictures.

If your DSC does not support SD card / MMC or Mass Storage connection, use USB card reader to connect with Photo Input terminal. Please note that we do not guarantee all DSC can make either or both Mass Storage and USB card reader connection.

Comparing to movie pictures through SD card/MMC, the movie pictures using USB might have lower

performance such as dropping frames.

Horizontal Clock and Clock Phase. The monitor may fail to display an animation image correctly when a signal having a vertical frequency of 85Hz or higher is input to it. The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the horizontal and vertical sync signal polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements alike may be handled as the same signal. Displaying images with more than 512 lines (42PD8800TA) / 768 lines (55PD8800TA) of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display) can result in the interpolation of stripes.
