Camera switches battery use automatically between grip and body, with 1st-to-use preference set by you. So, if use grip battery first (because this was specified in body menu), camera will automatically switch to body battery. Then, removing the grip should have no affect.

Just tried removing battery from the grip.(with priority to battery grip) and the camera shut off once I pulled the battery.If battery was set to priority to body and removed the battery grip the camera stayed on. Not sure if one can tell which battery the camera is using during recording (new user to camera) Haven't had the battery die on me yet with a normal day use.

I have honestly not been able to set the screen myself....I honestly use the grip for the convenience of changing battery packs quickly without having to take off my DSLR video rig. Sorry that I cannot provide any helpful advice.

There is a tiny reset button that can be pushed with a paper clip. It is located by the power button on top of the camera.

You don't have to attach the cable to make the battery grip work. On the low end Canon models they weren't design to work with a batter grip that has a shutter button on it. The cable allow you to use the shutter button on the Battery grip. So if you turn the camera side way, you can press the shutter button on the battery grip instead of using the camera's shutter button. If you don't attach the cable, the shutter button on the grip will no work.

Yes, you definitely can use the battery grip as the sole source of power. I prefer not to put a battery in the D7000 when the grip is in place. It is simple enough to change the battery in the grip when the battery is exhausted, so there really isn't a need to use two batteries (especially given the long life of the EN-EL15 battery). And you don't have to go into the menus to do this. Simply remove the battery from your camera, and put one in the grip and you are ready to take photos. I got my MB-D11 three days ago and have been taking photos all three days without a need to make my first battery change (433 captures). Also, my MB-D11 has none of the problems reported by others and is a classic example of Nikon quality.

It is NOT simple; due to the waterproof feature the housing is very tight.Hold the camera in your left hand with your thumb on the raised letters CEFC ( thus the switch that moves the mode from portrait to landscape will be towards your body; and the lens of the camera should be facing to your right). Press down with medium force and with your right hand slide the battery compartment latch while moving your left thumb forward. Once you have replaced the batteries or MICROSD memory card securely slide the cover back. Make sure the cover is SECURE. Wiggle it about back and forth etc to be sure. If ANY water enters this area the camera could be damaged permanently.

A small strip of Velcro should work and still allow you to remove it to change the battery.

you can carefully remove the battery door while you have the grip attached, I store it in my bag as there are time I don't want the battery grip on the camera, so I make sure I can return to the one battery setup.

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

I can't remember I'm sorry it's been a while, but I think your manual to the camera would tell you or the instructions to the battery grip.. It's not that hard.. You might have to fidget with it a bit..

Its very easy. It uses one AA battery and the battery compartment is located on the left side of the pak. Just pull the black tab out and insert the battery. This unit does a really good job. Have used mine a lot since I had recorded a lot of camcorder video with the small vhs cassette tapes. Hope this helps.

The socket is not centered on the camera. You can change the battery without removing the camera from the tripod. That is if the tripod platform is normal size.

You can put 2 batteries on the grip but The grip use one battery at the time and when this battery is power empty the grip uses the other battery. The grip has no switch. The grip is functional with 1 battery if you want. I have big hands and the grip is perfect to have my camera in my hands, ita feel better holding the camera with the grip on. You need a charger for each battery if you want to charge the 2 batteries at the same time. I charge one first and then the other because i have just one charger.

the battery door detaches and there is a slot on the grip to put it so you don't loose it. the slot is on the section that gets inserted into the camera.in the picture here it is the right where the slot is on the vertical part.

You cannot switch between the two camera batteries, it just gives you extended milli amp hours. The six AA batteries are held in a separate cassette that can be switched in at anytime.

YES! When the BG (battery grip) battery is discharged, it will use the battery in the camera,without interrupting the video. I always use the BG battery first, because you can easily accessthe compartment, and replace with a fresh battery.

There is a battery holder that flips out of the upper right hand side. The users manual tells you how to do it. If you don't have one look it up on line.
