           Before You Use It For The First Time
           0)  Before you do anything, you must make sure that the HDTV and the
               camera are both logged in to the same Wi-Fi Access point.  (You can
               do  this  via  the  MENU       2  Access  point  settings  (described
               further in Section 7.7.)
           1)  Hit the play button on your camera.  Then go to  MENU     1 
               View on TV.  The first time you invoke this function, the camera will
               start  searching  for  compatible  devices  on  your  Wi-Fi  network,  and
               gives you a menu of found devices, asking you to choose one.  Once
               you do that it will start “negotiating” a connection with the TV (which
               may take several seconds).
           2)  If negotiation was unsuccessful, make sure the camera’s MAC address
               is on your HDTV’s “approved” list.  (A MAC address is like a unique
               fingerprint, different from an IP address, which all internet-connected
               devices have embedded within.  You can see the address for yours by
               going to MENU    2  Disp MAC address.)  I can’t tell you how
               to configure your TV to make sure your camera is approved because
               every TV has a different user interface.)
           After You Use It For The First Time

           3)  Hit the play button on your camera.  Then go to  MENU     1 
               View on TV.
           4)  Press the center button to start a slide show.  Watch as the images take
               over your TV!
           5)  Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys on the back of the camera to
               switch. (And be patient!)
           6)  You can also invoke a slide show by pressing the center button during
               this mode.
           7)  Press  the  down-arrow  key  to  change  playback  devices  and  modify
               slideshow options.
           Notes

             If  you  invoke  the  feature  without  having  a  Wi-Fi  enabled  HDTV
              nearby,  and  then  exit  out  of  the  feature,  you  may  encounter  a  black
              screen with just a +/- indicator on the bottom.  If this happens to you
              (and it’s only happened to me once), the sure-fire way to regain control
              is to remove the battery.
