You cannot damage your camera or any other bit of kit by using a "1.3" cable instead of "1.4" or vice versa.
And there is actually no such thing as a "1.3" or "1.4" HDMI cable anyway...
HDMI v1.4 added an Ethernet Channel, Audio Return Channel, 4K resolution, and of course 3D.
But that's the
interface, not the
cables...

Both v1.3 and v1.4 have the same max. bandwidth, and both simply require a "High Speed"* HDMI cable to be able to handle 1080p or 3D. You'd only need a "High Speed with Ethernet"** cable if the devices at each end both need the Ethernet Channel.
*[Often incorrectly marketed as "1.3"]
**[Often incorrectly marketed as "1.4"]
The
official word on HDMI cables...

Cables are instead rated by their performance capabilities. There are five HDMI cable types to choose from:
Standard HDMI Cable - Designed to handle most home applications, the Standard HDMI Cable can reliably transmit 1080i or 720p video plus surround audio.
Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Same baseline performance as the Standard HDMI Cable, plus a dedicated Ethernet channel for Internet connection sharing and device networking.
Standard Automotive HDMI Cable - Designed for internal cabling of motor vehicles equipped with onboard HD video systems.
High Speed HDMI Cable - Designed to handle video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies like 3D and 4K.
High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Same baseline performance as the High Speed HDMI cable, plus a dedicated Ethernet channel for Internet connection sharing and device networking.
Each of these cable types should be clearly marked with a distinctive logo, as shown below...

As for the connector size... no idea, sorry.

Right, it seems there are two types of smaller connector:
Mini HDMI
Micro HDMI
From a quick Google of your camera's name it appears that it uses Micro HDMI.
So, you have two options:
1) Buy an adaptor so you can use an existing HDMI cable, e.g.

2) Buy a new cable with a Micro connector on one end, e.g.
