Interface for the D3400

[MoreCowbell]

On p. 99 of the Owner's Manual for the D3400 it describes the 2 interface ports as:
• Micro-USB
• Type-C HDMI (a.k.a Mini-HDMI)

I have long used the USB port for transferring pictures but always wondered about the HDMI port. Unfortunately, nowhere in the manual do I see a discussion as to what the HDMI port is really for, or if it's equivalent (with the right cable termial) to the Micro-USB port (i.e., same functionality).

Anybody know?

Ahhhh ... p.184 of the Reference Manual, which I actually downoaded 5 years ago but never realy looked at.
So I guess it's only for viewing pictures (and possibly movies) on TV. This info. should be in the User's Manual !!

Thanks Needa.

The reference manual is almost 3X the user manual.

Well a user manual tells you what you need. Then the reference manual tells you all that you need! LOL
