Photos or videos recorded in AVCHD on the SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Cards are easy to view on a Panasonic VIERA TV. Simply insert the card into the SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card slot on VIERA TV or DIGA Blu-ray Disc™ player to playback your content. Alternatively, you can use an optional HDMI micro cable to output the photos and videos you took from the camera directly to the TV for VIERA Link.

The pictures taken with the 3D Photo Mode via the 3D VIERA TV offers you a whole new exciting experience.
