Output range
Auto is recommended in most situations. Choose from the following options only if the camera is unable
to determine the correct RGB video signal output range for the HDMI device:
• Limited range: For devices with an RGB video signal input range of 16 to 235. Choose this option if you
notice loss of detail in shadows.
• Full range: For devices with an RGB video signal input range of 0 to 255. Choose this option if shadows are
“washed out” or too bright.

If Off is selected when the camera is connected to an HDMI device, shooting information will not be dis-
played in the monitor during live view photography.
HDMI Recording
HDMI output is not compressed, and as a result the camera can be connected to an HDMI recording
device and movie footage recorded at a higher quality than the data that are saved to the memory
card. Both the D800/D800E and D4 adjust HDMI output according to the extended display identifi -
cation data (EDID) provided by the HDMI device: if the option selected for Movie settings > Frame
size/frame rate in the camera shooting menu does not match the information in the EDID, the frame
rate for HDMI output will be adjusted to maintain the selected frame size. In some cases, however,
input display performance may not be correctly described in the EDID. If the information in the EDID
is not correct, the HDMI device will not display an image when connected to the camera. Should this
occur, select 1080i for HDMI > Output resolution in the camera setup menu. Note that the output
frame size may be reduced while movies are being recorded with the camera; if a frame size of 1920 ×
1080 is selected for Movie settings > Frame size/frame rate, the camera will output movies at a
frame size of 1280 × 720 during movie recording. Upconversion is not supported.
