Left side
On the left side of the camera (lens facing
you) is the memory card slot cover. When
the card slot cover latch is released the
cover opens so you can insert or remove
your CF card.
Bottom
The bottom of the camera has a few fea-
tures that are quite important.
✦ Battery chamber cover. This cov-
ers the chamber that holds the EN-
EL3a battery that is supplied with
your D300.
✦ Tripod socket. This is where you
attach a tripod or monopod to
help steady your camera.
✦ Contact cover. This rubber cover is
used to protect the contact points
for the optional MB-D10 battery
grip that attaches to the bottom of
the camera. The MB-D10 allows
you to use a variety of battery
types.
