USER MANUAL

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ZIV.
The MD-N01 is a battery grip for the Nikon D500
DSLR camera. It features familiar dials and buttons
that are on the camera, but for control and comfort
in portrait orientation. This includes an alternate
shutter-release button, control lock, function
button, AF-ON button, multi selector, and main and
sub-command dials. The grip accepts a rechargeable
Nikon® EN-EL15 battery which extends shooting
time, and there’s an optional battery tray that holds
eight AA batteries.
