Direct Video - Minolta DiMAGE F200 Instruction Manual

Direct Video

Direct Video allows the camera to record movies to a video or DVD deck. The only limit to recording
time is the capacity of the tape or disk. The camera is compatible with the NTSC and PAL standards
(p. 106). The video-output setting can be checked and set in the custom 2 section of the setup menu
(p. 98). When Direct Video is active, no data is recorded to the camera's memory card. Auto power
save (p. 16) is disabled.
Active the Direct Video function on the movie menu; a message will appear.
Direct Video can be canceled by pressing the central button of the con-
troller.
Insert the small plug of the AV cable into the camera's AV-out terminal (1). Plug the other end of the
AV cable into the video and audio input terminals on the television or video or DVD deck (2). The yel-
low plug is for the video output. The white plug is for the monaural audio output.
