video playback cannon sl2

I am new to digital photography and used my sl2 to video an event., approximately 30 minuets. I can view the playback on the camera and I downloaded it to my pc. However I connected the camera via mini usb to the usb port on my tv. It identifies the camera but shows no files? Any suggestions?

thanks

After you connect the cables, did you turn on the cameras power then press the play button?

It's possible that your TV doesn't recognize the file format, or the codec that your camera uses to record video. Try copying the files from your PC to a flash drive, plug that into your TV, and see if the TV recognizes the files then.

The easiest way to play your videos on your TV, is to connect the camera using the HDMI port. That's why it's there.

The Camera does not behave like a direct storage device unlike Pen Drive, Card Reader etc. Therefore, your TV will not be able to access the files directly.
