HDMI Output
The camera can be connected to HDMI devices for high-denition movie playback and recording.
Connecting to an HDMI Device
The camera can be connected to high-denition video devices using an optional High-Denition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable available from Nikon or a third-party type C HDMI cable. Always
turn the camera o before connecting or disconnecting the cable.
HDMI Options
The HDMI option in the setup menu controls output resolution and of-
fers a variety of advanced HDMI options.
Output Resolution
Choose the format for images output to the HDMI device. If Auto is se-
lected, the camera will automatically select the appropriate format.
External Recording Control
Enabling external recording control allows camera controls to be used
to start and stop recording when the camera is connected via HDMI to a third-party recorder that
supports the Atomos Open Protocol (the Atomos SHOGUN, SHOGUN STUDIO, SHOGUN FLAME, SHO-
GUN INFERNO, NINJA BLADE, NINJA FLAME, NINJA INFERNO, and SUMO). An icon will be displayed in
the camera monitor: A is displayed in live view, while B is displayed during movie recording
(note that camera controls cannot be used for movie recording when 3840× 2160 or 1920× 1080
slow-mo is selected for frame size; use the controls on the recorder).
During recording, check the recorder and recorder display to ensure that footage is being saved to
the device. The camera will end output to the device if the monitor turns o automatically after re-
cording has started; to ensure that recording is not interrupted, select an option for Custom Setting
c4 (Monitor o delay)> Live view that is longer than the intended recording time. If a memory card
is inserted in the camera, movies will be recorded both to the memory card and to external device,
but note that recording will not begin in the event of a card error or if the card is write-protected and
will end when the memory card is full or if recording stops automatically for any reason. Note that
depending on the recorder, you may need to adjust recorder settings; for more information, see the
manual provided with the recorder.
