Sides and Bottom
The sides and bottom of the D40/D40x
have only a few controls, compartments,
and connectors.
Left side
On the left side of the camera you can see a
rubber cover that protects the D40/D40x’s
primary external connectors (see figure 1.5).
Underneath the top cover is an AV plug you
can use to link the D40/D40x to an external
monitor for viewing pictures or menus. In the
middle is a reset switch button that you can
press to reset all settings in the camera
(including the clock). At the bottom is a port
that accepts a USB cable for transferring pic-
tures directly from the camera to your com-
puter and also allows you to control the
camera’s functions by using the Nikon
Camera Control Pro software (see figure 1.6).
