The car has a small video monitor, about
7 inches. I decided it might be nice to preview shots on this monitor
when I am out and about. Due to the location of the plugs for the
monitor, it's best to leave it plugged in. The video cable may also be
used to connect the camera to regular devices that accept standard RCA video
connectors.
I purchased a second mini-to-video cable, again
observing the incredible premium that Best Buy wants to charge - $40 versus
the $15 online for the Canon part. Note to self - stop going to Best
Buy!
