The left side of the camera, shown in Figure 7, has a sturdy clip for attaching the neck strap. Right under that is a small door that opens to reveal a jack for the optional remote shutter control. Under that is a door that conceals a proprietary USB/Video out connector and a mini HDMI port. This can be used with an optional HDMI cable to connect the camera to a high-def television. All the doors on the camera are made of solid-feeling rubber-like substance. They open easily with your fingernail and close securely.
