standard TV or VCR for viewing
your images on-screen. The D300

video cable that is supplied with
the camera.

video output terminal is used to
connect the camera to a high-defi-
nition TV (HDTV). The camera is
connected with an optional Type A
HDMI cable that can be purchased
at an electronics store.
✦ DC in. This AC adapter input con-
nection allows you to plug the
D300 into a standard electrical out-
let using the Nikon EH-5 or EH-5a
AC adapter. This allows you to
operate the camera without drain-
ing your batteries. The AC adapter
is available separately from Nikon.

cable plugs in to attach the camera
to your computer to transfer
images straight from the camera.
