Battery door removal
Mar 15, 2012 12:24:36 #
Done a search, can't find it. I assume you have to remove the battery door to install a battery grip on a Nikon D90 or D7000. How do you remove the door? Please no nasty stupid remarks.

I'm not sure about Nikons but on a Canon there is a spring loaded pin at the hinge point. Open the battery door and where the hinge is there should be a pin that just slides back, You should be able to slide it back with your fingernail... Hope this helps...

You do NOT remove the battery door for the D7000 grip, it installs with the original battery already in place. You remove the power port plug from the bottom of the body. The grip allows you to use a second battery in the grip, or with the included adapter, you can use AA batteries also. The only real drawback is that the grip has to be removed to take the body battery out for charging. But you don't NEED to use the body battery unless you want to, it can be left out and all will still work just fine. The body will sense where a battery is. You can also tell the body what battery to use first, either the body or the grip batteries, it will switch to the other when the first one gets low. The body even has a feature in the menu that will tell you the exact amount of power remaining in each battery.
On the D90, the battery and door both have to be removed, but the grip will take a pair of batteries in it.

Not on the D7000.
Just take off the rubber covering the connecting terminals and store it in the place provided on the grip

On the D300s and the D80 you lift up the door at a 30 (?) degree angle and pull it out. It took me a couple times practicing before it became natural....

For those who don't know, that's a Mamiya C-330 on the left and a Miranda G on my other shoulder. 1973

How do you remove the door on the D90? Does the pin slide sidways?

I'm assuming the D90 is the same as the D80, as it is an "upgrade" of the D80.
As I said above, on the D80 lift the door at about a 30 (?) degree angle and it will pop off.

The D80 and the D90 take the same battery grip, so its reasonable the install would be the same. Glad you got it figured out.

The C330 was (is) an awesome camera. I'll not comment comment on the Miranda.

The Miranda was not the best built in the world, but I liked it. Miranda G, 135mm Soligor lens, Tri-X... not that it matters
