Viewing photos on TV

With my old Sony Mavica, I could link up the camera to the TV to view
pictures. I have tried this using the FireWire on my Canon S400, with
no luck.

Anyone know if this can be done -- view pictures on the TV directly
from the S400?

The camera's manual should tell you, if it has that capability.

I believe that a few owners of these tiny cameras asked similar
questions several months ago, only realizing after purchase that
their cameras had no direct-to-TV capability. Even without a
manual, if the camera doesn't have the usual video mini-jack socket,
it's a pretty good clue.

Firewire(?-the S400 doesn't have a firewire connection. USB, yes.
Firewire...no.) is the wrong connection.
You use a video cable that connects into a different out...
-See manual.

How did you plug a Firewire cable into your TV????

Did you perhaps try lookng at the pctures in the manual.
Use the Video cable see page 121
This camera does not have Firewire, it has USB see page 150 of manual.

Your TV has a firewire port?

Four bits says the camera manual knows how to do it.

I don't know if it can or not, but I certainly wouldn't WANT to.
Viewing a 4mp picture on a TV is not very satisfying, given that the
maximum resolution on the TV is about 720x525 or less, which works out
to about .4 mp.

Viewing a picture from a 4 mp digital camera on a TV is bound to be
disappointing as the maximum resolution on a TV is really LOUSY. Note
that TVs weren't designed to display still pictures well.
