The MB-D12 and Accessories

Thank you for your purchase of an MB-D12 multi-power battery pack for use with all

Nikon single-lens reflex digital cameras that list the MB-D12 as a compatible accessory in the camera manual. The MB-D12 takes one EN-EL15 or EN-EL18 rechargeable battery or eight AA batteries (alkaline, Ni-MH, or lithium) and includes an alternate shutter-release button, AFON button, multi selector, and main and sub-command dials for taking pictures in “tall” (portrait) orientation. Camera menu options allow the user to choose whether the camera battery or the batteries in the MB-D12 are used first; see the camera manual for details.

The MB-D12 and Supplied Accessories

Confirm that the following items are supplied with the MB-D12 (batteries are sold separately).

The MB-D12 Shutter-Release Button, Multi Selector, Command Dials, and AFON Button

The MB-D12 is equipped with a shutter-release button (Figure A- !3), multi selector (Figure A- y), main command dial (Figure A- t), sub-command dial (Figure A- !5), and AFON button (Figure A- r) for use when taking photographs in vertical (“tall,” or portrait) orientation. These controls perform the same functions as the corresponding controls on the camera. See the camera manual for more information. Changes to Multi selector center button, Multi selector, Customize command dials, and Assign MB-D12 AF-ON in the camera Custom Settings menu (Group f ) also apply to the multi selector, command dials, and AFON button on the MB-D12. The MB-D12 Control Lock The control lock (Figure A- !4) locks the controls on the MB-D12 to prevent unintended use. Before using these controls to take photographs in vertical (portrait) orientation, release the lock as shown at right. The control lock is not a power switch. Use the camera power switch to turn the camera on and off.

Attaching the Battery Pack

Before attaching the battery pack, be sure that the camera is off and that the MB-D12 control lock (Figure A- !4) is in the L position (the illustrations show the D800). 1 Remove the contact cap (Figure A- q) from the battery pack. 2 The contacts for the MB-D12 are in the base of the camera, where they are protected by a contact cover. Remove the contact cover as shown in Figure B-q and place it in the contact cover holder on the MB-D12 (Figure B- w). 3 Position the MB-D12, keeping the MB-D12 mounting screw (Figure C- w) aligned with the camera tripod socket (Figure C- q) and tighten the attachment wheel by rotating it in the direction shown by the LOCK arrow (Figure D). There is no need to remove the battery from the camera before connecting the MB-D12. At default settings, the battery inserted in the camera will be used only after the battery in the MB-D12 is exhausted. The Battery order option in the camera Custom Settings menu (Group d) can be used to change the order in which the batteries are used.

Be sure to place the camera contact cover in the contact cover holder and to keep the MB-D12 contact cap in a safe place to prevent loss.

A PB-6D and PK-13 auto-extension ring are required when using PB-6 bellows focusing attachment with the MB-D12.

Removing the Battery Pack

To remove the MB-D12, turn the camera off and set the control lock on the MB-D12 to L, then loosen the attachment wheel and remove the MB-D12. Be sure to replace the contact cover on the camera and the contact cap on the MB-D12 when the battery pack is not in use.

The MB-D12 can be used with one EN-EL15 or EN-EL18 rechargeable Li-ion battery, or with eight AA batteries. A BL-5 battery-chamber cover (available separately) is required when using an EN-EL18 battery. Before inserting batteries, be sure that the camera is off and that the MB-D12 control lock is in the L position. 1 Turn the MB-D12 battery-chamber latch to

and remove the battery holder (Figure E).

2 Ready the batteries as described below.

EN-EL15: Matching the indentations on the battery to the projections on the MS-D12EN holder, insert the battery with the arrow (▲) on the battery toward the battery holder power terminals (Figure F- q). Press the battery lightly downward and slide it in the direction of the arrow until the power terminals click into place (Figure F- w). EN-EL18: If the battery release on the optional BL-5 battery-chamber cover is positioned so that the arrow Y is visible, slide the battery release to cover the arrow (Figure G-q). Insert the two projections on the battery into the matching slots on the BL-5 (Figure G-w) and confirm that the battery release has slid aside to reveal the arrow. AA batteries: Place eight AA batteries in the MS-D12 battery holder as shown in Figure H, making sure that the batteries are in the correct orientation. 3 Insert the battery holder in the MB-D12 and latch the battery-chamber cover (Figure I). Make sure the holder is fully inserted before turning the latch. 4 Turn the camera on and check the battery level in the control panel or viewfinder. If the camera does not turn on, check that the battery is correctly inserted. The EP-5B Power Connector When using the EP-5B power connector, insert it into the MS-D12EN holder with the arrow (▲) on the connector toward the battery power terminals. Press the connector lightly downward and slide it in the direction of the arrow until the power terminals click into place (Figure J- q). Open the holder power connector cover and pass the EP-5B power cable through the opening (Figure J- w).

The camera displays battery level as follows: EN-EL15/EN-EL18 Control panel Viewfinder Description — Battery fully charged.

Battery partially discharged.

Low battery. Ready fully-charged spare battery or charge battery. Battery exhausted. Charge or exchange battery.

Control panel Viewfinder Description — Charge remaining. L Low batteries. Ready I d spare batteries. Batteries exhausted. H d Shutter release (blinks) (blinks) disabled.

An option in Group d of the camera Custom Settings menu can be used to change the order in which the batteries are used. When the camera is drawing power from the MB-D12, a s icon is displayed in the control panel. If the s icon blinks, the battery-chamber cover is not locked.

Close and latch the battery-chamber cover. To ensure that the camera shows the correct battery level when AA batteries are used, choose the appropriate option for MB-D12 battery type in the camera Custom Settings menu (Group d). If the correct option is not selected, the camera may fail to function as expected. Option 1 LR6 (AA alkaline) 2 HR6 (AA Ni-MH) 3 FR6 (AA lithium)

Battery information (including calibration information for EN-EL18 batteries) can be viewed from the camera setup menu (the camera battery is listed on the left, the MB-D12 on the right). Only the battery level icon is shown when AA batteries are used. See the camera manual for details.

Slide the battery release in the direction indicated by the arrow (Y) and remove the battery-chamber cover.

Remove the batteries as shown. Be careful not to drop the batteries when removing them from the holder.

The procedure for removing the EP-5B power connector is the same as that for the EN-EL15.

Specifications and design are subject to change without notice.

D EN-EL15 and EN-EL18 Batteries The performance of EN-EL15 and EN-EL18 batteries drops at temperatures below about 10 °C (50 °F). Be sure the battery is fully charged and keep a warm spare battery on hand ready to exchange as necessary. Cold batteries will recover some of their charge when warmed. D AA Batteries Due to their limited capacity, AA LR6 alkaline batteries should be used only when no other alternative is available. The capacity of AA batteries varies with make and storage conditions and may in some instances be extremely low; in some cases, AA batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Note that the capacity of AA batteries may drop at temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F). Use is not recommended at low temperatures. D Frame Advance Rate EN-EL18 and AA batteries support higher frame advance rates than the EN-EL15; note, however, that in the case of AA batteries the frame advance rate will drop at low temperatures or if the batteries are low. For more information on frame advance rates, see the camera manual.
