4. Other Accessories

At the time of writing, the following accessories were available for the D7500.

Power sources

• EN-EL15a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (0 Battery Info): Additional EN-EL15a batteries are available from local retailers and Nikon service representatives. EN-EL15c/EN-EL15b/EN-EL15 batteries can also be used. Note, however, that you will not be able to take as many pictures on a single charge using EN-EL15 batteries.
• MH-25a Battery Charger: The MH-25a can be used to recharge EN-EL15a batteries. MH-25 battery chargers can also be used.
• EP-5B Power Connector, EH-5b/EH-5c AC Adapter: These accessories can be used to power the camera for extended periods. The EP-5B is required to connect the camera to the EH-5b/EH-5c; see “Attaching a Power Connector and AC Adapter” (0 Attaching a Power Connector and AC Adapter) for details.

Accessory shoe covers

BS-1 Accessory Shoe Cover: A cover protecting the accessory shoe. The accessory shoe is used for optional flash units.

Body caps

BF-1B Body Cap/BF-1A Body Cap: The body cap keeps the mirror, viewfinder screen, and image sensor free of dust when a lens is not in place.

Viewfinder eyepiece accessories

• DK-28 Rubber Eyecup: A rubber eyecup that attaches to the viewfinder eyepiece, reducing fatigue by making the image in the viewfinder easier to see.
• DK-5 Eyepiece Cap: Prevents light entering via the viewfinder from appearing in the photograph or interfering with exposure.
• DK-20C Eyepiece Correction Lenses: Lenses are available with diopters of –5, –4, –3, –2, 0, +0.5, +1, +2, and +3 m^–1 when the camera diopter adjustment control is in the neutral position (–1 m^–1). Use eyepiece correction lenses only if the desired focus can not be achieved with the built in diopter adjustment control (–2 to +1 m^–1). Test eyepiece correction lenses before purchase to ensure that the desired focus can be achieved. The rubber eyecup can not be used with eyepiece correction lenses.
• DK-21M Magnifying Eyepiece: The DK-21M magnifies the view through the viewfinder by approximately 1.17× (50 mm f/1.4 lens at infinity; –1.0 m^–1) for greater precision when framing.
• DG-2 Magnifier: The DG-2 magnifies the scene displayed in the center of the viewfinder for greater precision during focusing. Eyepiece adapter required (available separately). Note that because the DG-2 interferes with the eye sensor, you may find it necessary to select Off for the Info display auto off item in the setup menu (0 Info Display Auto Off) when this accessory is attached.
• DK-22 Eyepiece Adapter: The DK-22 is used when attaching the DG-2 magnifier.
• DR-6 Right-Angle Viewing Attachment: The DR-6 attaches at a right angle to the viewfinder eyepiece, allowing the image in the viewfinder to be viewed at right angles to the lens (for example, from directly above when the camera is horizontal). In addition, because the DR-6 interferes with the eye sensor, you may find it necessary to select Off for the Info display auto off item in the setup menu when this accessory is attached.

Filters

• Filters intended for special-effects photography may interfere with autofocus or the electronic rangefinder.
• The D7500 can not be used with linear polarizing filters. Use the C-PL or C-PLII circular polarizing filter instead.
• Neutral Color (NC) filters are recommended for protecting the lens.
• To prevent ghosting, use of a filter is not recommended when the subject is framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame.
• Center-weighted metering is recommended with filters with exposure factors (filter factors) over 1 × (Y44, Y48, Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S, ND8, ND8S, ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12). See the filter manual for details.

Microphones

• ME-1 Stereo Microphone: Connect the ME-1 to the camera microphone jack to record stereo sound and reduce the chance of picking up equipment noise (such as the sounds produced by the lens during autofocusing).
• ME-W1 Wireless Microphone: Use this wireless Bluetooth microphone for off-camera recording.

Remote controls/wireless remote controller/remote cords

• ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control: The ML-L3 uses a 3 V CR2025 battery.

  

  

  

  

  Pressing the battery-chamber latch to the right (), insert a fingernail into the gap and open the battery chamber (). Ensure that the battery is inserted in the correct orientation ().

• WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller/WR-T10 Wireless Remote Controller (0 Wireless Remote (WR) Options, Assign Remote (WR) Fn Button): When a WR-R10 wireless remote controller is attached, the camera can be controlled wirelessly using a WR-T10 wireless remote controller. The WR-R10 can also be used to control radio-controlled flash units.

• WR-1 Wireless Remote Controller (0 Assign Remote (WR) Fn Button): The WR-1 can function as either a transmitter or a receiver and is used in combination either with another WR-1 or a WR-R10 or WR-T10 wireless remote controller. For example, a WR-1 can be connected to the accessory terminal for use as a receiver, allowing camera settings to be changed or the shutter to be released remotely by another WR-1 acting as a transmitter.

  Note: Be sure the firmware for the WR-R10 and WR-1 has been updated to the latest version. For information on firmware updates, see the Nikon website for your area.

• MC-DC2 Remote Cord: Attach this 1 m (3 ft 3 in.) cord to the camera accessory terminal to release the shutter remotely.

GPS units

GP-1 GPS Unit/GP-1A GPS Unit: Connect to the camera accessory terminal to record the current latitude, longitude, altitude, and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) with pictures taken with the camera (0 Location Data). Note that production of GP-1/GP-1A units has ended.

USB cables

UC-E20 USB Cable (0 Copying Pictures to the Computer, Printing Photographs): A USB cable with a Micro-B connector for connection to the camera.

HDMI cables (0 Viewing Photographs on TV)

HC-E1 HDMI Cable: An HDMI cable with a type C connector for connection to the camera and a type A connector for connection to HDMI devices.

Software

Camera Control Pro 2: Control the camera remotely from a computer and save photographs directly to the computer hard disk. When Camera Control Pro 2 is used to capture photographs directly to the computer, a PC connection indicator (c) will appear in the control panel.

Note: Use the latest versions of Nikon software; see the Nikon website for your region for the latest information on supported operating systems. At default settings, Nikon Message Center 2 will periodically check for updates to Nikon software and firmware while you are logged in to an account on the computer and the computer is connected to the Internet. A message is automatically displayed when an update is found.

Availability may vary with country or region. See our website or brochures for the latest information.

Attaching a Power Connector and AC Adapter

Turn the camera off before attaching an optional power connector and AC adapter.

1. Ready the camera.

   Open the battery-chamber () and power connector () covers.

   

2. Insert the EP-5B power connector.

   Be sure to insert the connector in the orientation shown, using the connector to keep the orange battery latch pressed to one side. The latch locks the connector in place when the connector is fully inserted.

   

3. Close the battery-chamber cover.

   Position the power connector cable so that it passes through the power connector slot and close the battery-chamber cover.

   

4. Connect the EH-5b/EH-5c AC adapter.

   Connect the AC adapter power cable to the AC socket on AC adapter () and the power cable to the DC socket (). A V icon is displayed in the monitor when the camera is powered by the AC adapter and power connector.
