Question

connect digital camera to broadcast live on hdtv

Jan 6, 2012 3:52AM PST

How do I connect my Samsung digital camera to my HDTV so I can use the tv as a large screen? So I'll see the live feed, not the photo files, from the camera on the tv screen.

Clarification Request
Very few consumer cameras can do that but which Samsung?

I can't find the model. Also, be sure you are aware that all consumer cameras auto shutoff so be sure you are not confusing this with some security camera.

If you have a standard digital camera, it can not be used in the manner you described.

You should be looking at security cameras

Some camcorders can be used in that manner.
You should post that question on the Camcorders Forum:
