At the time of writing, the following accessories were available for the D5100.

• Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL14 (

0 14–15): Additional EN-EL14 batteries are 

available from local retailers and Nikon-authorized service representatives.

• Battery Charger MH-24 (

0 14): Recharge EN-EL14 batteries.

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

camera for extended periods (EH-5a and EH-5 AC adapters can also be used). A 
power connector EP-5A is required to connect the camera to the EH-5b, EH-5a, 
or EH-5; see page 208 for details.

• Filters intended for special-effects photography may interfere with autofocus or 

the electronic rangefinder.

• The D5100 can not be used with linear polarizing filters. Use C-PL or C-PL II 

circular polarizing filters instead.

• 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.

• 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 
+0.7 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 for greater precision during focusing. 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).

• Capture NX 2: A complete photo editing package offering such features as white 

balance adjustment and color control points.

• Camera Control Pro 2: Control the camera remotely from a computer and save 

photographs directly to the computer hard disk.

: Use the latest versions of Nikon software. Most Nikon software offers an auto 

update feature when the computer is connected to the Internet. See the websites 
listed on page xv for the latest information on supported operating systems.

: The body cap keeps the mirror, viewfinder screen, and low-

pass filter free of dust when a lens is not in place.
