The main feature on the side of the Nikon D7000 is a pair of rubber covers that pro-
tect the five connector ports underneath from dust and moisture. The five connectors,
shown in Figure 3.5, with the rubber covers removed, are as follows:
■Audio/Video port.You can link this connector with a television to view your pho-
tos and movies on a large screen. Connect the red/white RCA plugs on the included
cable to the audio input jacks of your monitor/TV, and the yellow plug to the video
jack.
■HDMI port. You need to buy an accessory cable to connect your D7000 to an
HDTV, as one to fit this port is not provided with the camera. If you have a high-
resolution television, it’s worth the expenditure to be able to view your camera’s out-
put in all its glory.
■GPS/Accessory terminal. Connect the Nikon GP-1 Global Positioning Service
device here, or plug in the MC-DC2 wired remote control here, instead. If you
want to use both, connect the GP-1 and then plug the remote into a pass-through
connector on the GPS device.
