              show will repeat when finished.  Finally, highlight “ENTER” and press
              the center button to start the show.
           5.  To  stop  a  slide  show,  hit  the  Menu  button  again  and  you  will  find
              yourself back at the Playback menu.  Oh, and you can also hit the Left
              and  Right  buttons  to  advance  to  the  next  picture  sooner  than  the
              specified  interval  time.    Finally,  pressing  the  multi-selector’s  center
              button will end the slide show and put you back into playback mode
              (where you’re scrolling through images manually).

            TIP:   The camera is VERY picky about images it will play back – if you have
            tweaked some images and/or have renamed them on your computer, and then
            uploaded  them  to  a  memory  card  hoping  to  use  the  slide  show  feature  to
            display them on your HDTV, the tweaked images may not display.



            TIP:      When  hooked  up  to  the  television,  your  camera’s  Power  Save  setting
            (MENU       2  Power Save Start Time) is automatically switched to 30
            minutes.  Disconnecting the TV from the camera restores your previous setting.

           Here’s  an  excerpt  from  Sony’s  instruction  manual:  “This  camera  is
           compatible with the PhotoTV HD standard.”   What’s that??

           It’s marketing speak.  One of the things that automatically happens when
           you hook up anything to an HDTV is that a conversation between the TV
           and  the  peripheral  takes  place,  and  the  TV  configures  itself  to  show  the
           content  optimally.    This  happened  long  before  someone  in  marketing
