Connectors

Given that the D700 didn't support video at all, the D800 can't help but be a step up for movie shooters. But it also includes nice capabilities like a headphone jack (in addition to the more common mic jack), uncompressed (albeit 4:2:2) HDMI output and the first USB 3.0 interface on a camera to provide speedier tethered operation. As with the newer Nikon models, the autofocus mode options are accessed by pressing the button on the focus-mode switch.
