3. Tighten the connection. When the grip and D7000 are fit snugly together, rotate
the large wheel under the base of the MB-D11 to lock the device onto the D7000.
4. Add batteries. The MB-D11 is furnished with two trays to hold batteries. You can
add a second EN-EL15 battery to one tray to double your available power. Or you
can use eight AA alkaline, nickel-metal hydride, nickel-manganese, or lithium bat-
teries with the supplied holder. Slide the battery tray inside the base of the grip, and
rotate the locking knob. Use CSM #d13 to tell the D7000 which type of AA bat-
teries you are using.
5. Fire away. To use the shutter release on the vertical grip, you must turn the rotat-
ing switch so the dot aligns with the line on the grip, indicating that the shutter
release is unlocked. If you’re holding the camera in horizontal orientation and using
the regular shutter release, it’s easy to accidentally trip the vertical release with the
palm of your right hand. (This accounts for the “phantom” shutter releases that
mystify new users of this grip.) See Figure 3.36, earlier, for the key controls.
6. Remove the grip. To remove the grip, reverse these steps.
