Right side
On the right side of the camera (with the
lens facing you), are the D60's output ter-
minals. These are used to connect your
camera to a computer or to an external
source for viewing your images directly from
the camera. These terminals are hidden
under a plastic cover that helps keep out
dust and moisture.
Video out. This connection, offi-
cially called Standard video output,
is used to connect the camera to a
standard TV or VCR for viewing
your images on-screen. The D60 is
connected with the EG-D100 video
cable that is supplied with the
camera.
USB port. This is where the USB
cable plugs in to attach the camera
to your computer to transfer
images straight from the camera.
The USB cable is also used to con-
nect the camera to the computer
when using Nikon's optional
Camera Control Pro 2 software.
