Batt Cover

[stevepow]

How do you detach the batt cover of the S5pro inorder to fix the MB-D200 grip ?

Can't find any instruction in the manual and dare not pull or use force to detach the cover from the body.

Advice needed.

Thanks

Hi there bro, you will need to lift the cover to an angle of about 45 degrees where you pull it out from that angle. A gentle pull is enough...Hope it helps...

Happy Niu Year...Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

Hi, according to the battery grip manual, lift the cover to a angle of 35 degrees (45 degrees is a bit too high) and pull it out gently.

CANNOT! only np150 compactible. EN-EL3e not equal to NP-150.

try and see lor. i'm sure someone will post up a reply for you. just hang on there.

found this from wikipedia.
'While the Finepix S5 Pro does share the same body design as the Nikon D200, it is incompatible with its lithium-ion battery, the EN-EL3e. It is, however, compatible with the Nikon MB-D200 battery pack and vertical battery grip, provided that Fujifilm NP-150 lithium batteries or 6 AA cells are used.'

I do not think the S5 Pro can react fast enough to take-on this challenge.
