At the time of writing, the following accessories were available for the D3000.

• Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL9a (

0 14–15): Additional EN-EL9a batteries are 

available from local retailers and Nikon service representatives. The EN-EL9a can 
be recharged using an MH-23 quick charger. EN-EL9 batteries can also be used.

• Quick Charger MH-23 (

0 14): The MH-23 can be used to recharge EN-EL9a and 

EN-EL9 batteries.

• Power Connector EP-5, AC Adapter EH-5a: These accessories can be used to power the 

camera for extended periods (EH-5 AC adapters can also be used). The EP-5 is 
required to connect the camera to the EH-5a or EH-5; see page 168 for details.

: Use the EG-D100 to connect the camera to a TV.

• Nikon filters can be divided into three types: screw-on, slip-in, and rear-

interchange. Use Nikon filters; filters manufactured by other makers may 
interfere with autofocus or the electronic rangefinder.

• The D3000 can not be used with linear polarizing filters. Use the C-PL circular 

polarizing filter instead.

• The NC and L37C 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.

• 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 (–1.7 to 
+0.5 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.

• Magnifier DG-2: The DG-2 magnifies the scene displayed in the center of the 

viewfinder. Use for close-up photography, copying, telephoto lenses, and other 
tasks that require added precision. Eyepiece adapter required (available 
separately).

• Eyepiece Adapter DK-22: The DK-22 is used when attaching the DG-2 magnifier.
• Right-Angle Viewing Attachment DR-6: 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).
