Hello,

I am a new user of Nikon cameras. I am currently learning to use my Z72. I have the MB-N11 grip with 2 EL-EN15c batteries installed.

How do I switch between battery #1 and #2.?   ( without removing them )

 

Thanks .!

Battery chamber A will be used first according to the manual.

thanks guys for the info.!  I guess it is not an issue, if,  when battery "A" is depleted, the camera automatically switches to battery "B".  I was curious, because on dslr's I've used in the past, I was able to choose which battery I wanted active by using a setting in the menu.

 

thanks!

The DSLRs have only one battery in the grip and one in the body. I guess this is why the option is there.

ahh very good point. thanks Merco.    One other question while I'm in here. I set up my Nikon U1 mode for exposure bracketing, 5 frames. ( 5fps )  My previous camera was a Pentax K-3.  On that camera, it Would save my 5 FPS to my U1 bracketing mode.  I cannot seem to get my Z7 to save that "continuous" mode... After I dial in my U1 mode I still need to go down to ( right bottom ) and select "Hi continuous".  Am I doing something incorrect.? Or does the Nikon not save the 5 FPS portion of of my AE bracketing mode.?  Is that something I will always have to set-up manually.?

I don't know as I have never bothered with setting up the U! and U2 modes. I switch between three generations of digital bodies and they are all different when it comes to how the user settings work.

 

For bracketing, I have assigned BKT to the red video record button on bodies that don't have s dedicated BKT button. I am usually in one of the Continuous High modes anyway...

Merco, appreciate all your help. I have 1 more question ( at least for today )   On my LCD screen (bottom left) it shows:  shutter speed / f-stop. When I am in either "manual mode"  OR   "shutter priority mode" it shows the word: Time  where the shutter speed should be. When in those 2 modes my camera will Not fire Or is delayed in firing. This does Not happen in: "aperture mode" ,  "program mode"  Or  "auto mode".

 

Trying find where in the menu I can reset this.

 

thankyou.

I have no idea what setting you might have stumbled on. I don’t know the Z6II/Z7II menu *that* well yet as I didn’t get mine until June. I have the Z6II, so I don’t even have all the options you have.
