• Quick Charger MH-15

• Quick Charger MH-15 recharges a discharged Ni-MH battery MN-15 fully in approx. 70 minutes. This product has the same function as the Quick Charger EH-3 for the Rechargeable Ni-MH Battery Pack EN-3 for the Nikon E3/E3s Digital Camera. The MH-15 can also charge the Ni-MH battery EN-4 for Nikon D1 Digital Camera.

• Antifog Finder Eyepiece DK-15

Miscellaneous

 

• Antifog Finder Eyepiece DK-15 prevents finder eyepiece from fogging in low

 

temperatures or high humidity and provides clear viewfinder image.

 

• Eyepiece correction lens

 

 

• Eyepiece correction lens enables near- or far-sighted photographers to

 

adjust the eyepiece diopter to suit their vision, and can be attached easily by

 

screwing it on the viewfinder eyepiece. Nine optional eyepiece correction

 

lenses provide viewfinder diopter settings of –5, –4, –3, –2, 0, +0.5, +1, +2

 

and +3m–1(combined diopter with setting on camera body). We recommend

 

that you actually look through the viewfinder with various correction lenses

 

attached before making a purchase, since viewfinder diopter differs from one

 

person to another. Use the optional eyepiece correction lens when you need

 

eyepiece correction over –3 to +1m–1that can be adjusted using the F100’s

 

diopter adjustment knob. When using an eyepiece correction lens, set the

 

diopter adjustment of the F100 to 0.

 

• Rubber Eyecup DK-6

 

• The Rubber Eyecup DK-6 can be attached to the viewfinder eyepiece and

 

lets you see through the viewfinder more clearly while preventing your eyes

 

from becoming tired.
