Slide it and the cover pops off. Be sure to put in a safe place. Mine just slides off, and there is a compartment in the actual grip to put the cover in so you don't lose it. Tee Been spending a lot of time on here! Not on mine D However, there is a rubber cover next to the battery that comes off and the connection thing-a-majigs are there.
It locks by screwing onto the tripod mounting hole. Seems pretty normal to me. Daf TPF Noob! With my D40 I did have to remove the battery door. The grip had a slot you could store it in. With my D you do not have to remove the battery door. The disadvantage with the D grip MB-D11 is that you have to remove the grip to change the body battery. A little weird but that's okay. Dao No longer a newbie, moving up!
It really depends on your camera. I am sure the manual shipped with the camera covers it. For mine, I remove the door and slide it in the slot on the battery grip.
It feels solid and sturdy. The MB-D80 features a vertical shutter release as well as primary and secondary scroll wheels. These wheels function the same as the do on the camera body. The shutter release can be locked when not in use to avoid any negligent discharges of the shutter release, which is very nice. The only complaint I have about the shutter release on the grip is that it feels a little spongy compared to the shutter release on the camera.
Overall I love it, the Opteka can take any brand battery with no hassles which has worked great for me- the grip and two batts for less than the Nikon grip alone. Thanks for the post. I am looking forward to get a grip for my D I love shooting portrait. And I think vertical shooting options are pretty handy as well as the stability given by a grip is important.
Because i have got few of non-nikon batteries which are working just fine for me. So i guess ill need go get one more nikon battery. As i am experimenting videos.. D90 sucks up batteries pretty fast.. Great post, very useful. To see my collection from D I just bought the D90and the grip.
How do I remove the battery door on the camera so I can slide in the grip? Pretty neat feature if you ask me. Thank you! I have been trying to figure out how to take that damned door off for 15 minutes! Now I can install my grip! Thank you Thank you Thank You! I think I know how. The other problem I have with the grip is that I cannot get any type of AA batteries to work. None work. Any comments on that? Thank you very much. Stephen, have you, or anyone you have talked with, had problems using the AA batteries in the D80 battery grip?
The owner of the store where I bought my Nikon D90 said that the AA batteries do not supply enough power for the D90 therefore will not work in the battery grip.
He said the battery grip was not designed for the D90, but more for the D80 and lower model Nikon cameras. Why sell a battery grip and offer the option of using AA batteries if they are not going to work in the grip? Please help!
THank you. JGoff Louisville,KY. Thanks for asking a great question. It sounds like the sales person you are dealing with has very little knowledge and based on the runaround that you mentioned he was giving you, I feel even more secure in expressing my thoughts about him. The D90 even will let you select what type of AA batteries you are using in the grip. I hope that helps to clear up that issue for you. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
So bummed out, opened brand new in box MB-D Stephen, thank you for such a quick reply to my questions about the NikonD90 battery grip problem. I asked a camera store owner here in my hometown of Louisville, KY whom I have had many dealings with the same question. I consider him very reputable, also. What is wrong with these people??? I believe you so I am going to investigate this very bothersome deal some more.
Thank you once again. I have no idea what is wrong with the two individuals that you spoke to, but I put 6 brand new AAs in my MB-D80 Battery Grip today that is on my D90 and they worked fine. Let me know what you find out as my interest is certainly peaked. I worry about things that are third party coppies, they dont always work as we would like. I did this to try out my AA battery tray and it all works just fine with the AA batteries.
I had to try few times in order to get user the shutter release from the grip. For the first few shoots, it worked nicely. I turned off the camera and when I tried to use again, the camera showed the battery was low and could not really power up the camera. I also tried to use the AA battery cheap brand from Costco and they did not work neither. I searched on the web saying if the dial lock is too tight between D90 and the grip, it would effect the contact of the battery.
I am not sure if it is true or not. I had been searching it on the web and almost most of the online stores were sold out. Glad I could help out Isaac! Hi Stephen. Thanks for such a good review. I initially charged the New batt we bought in the store. So that both batts will have same charge?
Thanks in advance. Not at all. With the Battery Grip on the D90 or D80 , it will use one battery completely and then it will switch to the second battery. I agree MB-D10 would be troublesome to remove the grip in order to access to the primary battery.
Which is unlikely, 8pcs of AA mAh NiMH can deliver over shoots before fallback to the primary battery as reported by some users. If I go travel, I carry only the AA battery charger, which can be shared with the Speedlight too and the Nikon Charger can leave at home without problem. How about the other battery grips such as ones from third parties digital concept , is their quality as good as the nikon MBD80? The quality and features are definitely not the same with the third party grips as they are with the MB-D My personal preference is the MB-D80 because of the quality and reliability.
Excellent review. Wish I saw this before I bought everything. I have tried replacing the two batteries, received new ones, and still same problem.
When I use the tray and 6 AA batteries, the grip works just fine. The problem with EN-EL3 is that once in the grip, it gives me a message the batteries are empty — although fully charged. Is there a solution to this problem? Thank you. Sorry to hear about your troubles with your MB-D80 grip.
The AAs are always a good standby option, but are a little bit of a pain in the neck. But as I mentioned above, problems. In the batter holder of the D90, there are 3 contact plates, and when the grip would slip into the battery holder, the middle contact plate was not getting the contact.
So after a little bending of the middle contact plate which hurt me since it was a new D90 , it now works just fine. For now.
According to the above mentioned web page, it is obviously a common problem — the contact plates in the battery holder of the D90 since other people had the same problem. Never noticed any issues of blinking with my D I've had the Zeikos grip on a D90 for almost a year without problems, with both Nikon and third party batteries. I've heard about some third party EN-EL3e batteries failing to communicate with or work in Nikon cameras- Have you had problems while two Nikon batteries are in the grip?
The first time the problem occured both batteries were in the grip. BTW, both batteries are Nikon batteries. The grip worked for about 15 days.
Then the slot thing started. At first I thought it was off-brand batteries. But alas, the right slot was just dead no matter what I put in it. Never had a problem since. Just a thought. Just be aware that the D90 has a diopter focus adjustment lever its right next to the viewfinder.
If you bumped or changed this by accident that could be where this problem lies, and it wont be fixed by doing a hard reset. Just so people know what Ale's talking about when you he says "viewfinder problem", this is from his post last month:. Ale, I'd be very surprised if a "hard reset" solves this. It is almost certainly a hardware problem.
I have a similar problem, a vertical line from center to bottom of my viewfinder; please tell me when and how you solved yours, thanks. Cylon, that vertical line is in everyone's viewfinder. It's totally normal, and just part of the construction of the display. Learn to ignore it. Thank you so much my friend! My blood pressure come to normal. They think to help us with a vertical alignment? If you select a different focus point other than the center one you will a different line, this time running from the newly selected focus point to the nearest edge of the frame.
The line is the electrical connection that allows the focus points to be highlighted. Be aware that this will void your warranty. Well after all this problem I have with my D90 doesent efect anything accept that I have to watch this giant circle on top of my viewfinder.
And that is why Im not sending it for repair Very strange problem. The wide shape from top is lighting red when focusing? In your place I will try, before opening the camera, a firmware rewriting. There are not new firmwares for D90 but someone can tell us if we can 'upgrade' the same firmware?
I know , It is very strange problem. I already wrote to Nikon and they said that they never had this issue before, but im getting response from some people on forums that they have same problems etc Anyhow I think that in nikon D90 it is same viewfinder as you get in nikon D Because nikon D has this wide circles around focus points when they are selected to wide. Just that nikon D90 has this option disabled. Anyhow I obviously have firmware or. Yes Id like to know that too if it is possible to reinstall same firmware somehow That could help to solve my problem We dig into the detail The Nikon Z mm F2.
With a versatile focal length range and a fast aperture for low light photography and blurry backgrounds, this lens promises sharp imagery and smooth bokeh with minimal aberrations. How does it actually perform?
