CONNECTION
In digital photography, connecting to external devices—especially
computers—is not an optional extra: it’s how you store, organize, backup,
and print images. The D5300 is designed to facilitate these operations, and
a couple of useful cables are included with the camera.

› Computer requirements
Connecting to a Mac or PC allows you to
store, organize, and backup your images. It
also helps you exploit the full power of the
D5300, including the ability to optimize
image quality from RAW files. Some
software packages allow “tethered”
shooting, where images appear on the
computer straight after capture; Nikon
Camera Control Pro 2 (optional purchase)
goes further, allowing the camera to be
controlled directly from the Mac or PC.
The large file sizes produced by the D5300
place extra demands on computer systems,
stressing processor speed, hard disk
capacity, and—above all—memory (RAM).
Systems with less than 4GB of RAM may
run slowly when dealing with RAW or
full-size JPEG images from the camera.
Fortunately, adding extra RAM to most
systems is relatively easy and inexpensive.
Extra hard disk space can also be helpful,
as the system will slow significantly when
the hard disk becomes close to capacity.
A CD drive is useful but not essential
for installing the supplied Nikon View NX2
