Inserting Batteries

En

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 (avail- able 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.

1Turn the MB-D12 battery-chamber latch toand remove the battery holder (Figure E).

2Ready 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 bat- tery 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 confi rm that the battery release has slid aside to reveal the arrow.

AAbatteries: 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.

3Insert 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.

4Turn the camera on and check the battery level in the control panel or viewfi nder. If the camera does not turn on, check that the battery is cor- rectly inserted.

Press the connector lightly downward and slide it in the direction of the arrow until the power terminals click into place (Figure J- q).
