A sliding cover in the screen well conceals component and AV/audio connections. A flip-open door underneath protects the SD and SDHC card slot.

So where's the HDMI slot if it's not here? Give up? It took us a bit of hunting, too, but we figured it out without recourse to the manual -- which would have resulted in geek seppuku, disembowelling ourselves with our iPhone.

The USB, HDMI and DC in connection are concealed in the battery well, so you have to remove the battery to transfer footage. That makes sense if you assume that people are going to transfer footage to their computers while safely ensconsed at home in dressing gown and slippers, with all the cables at hand and the battery safely whacked in the charger. But it still just feels a bit... daft.
