[QUOTE="Kota Krome, post: 250790, member: 12568"] [b]Re: How to use a non Nikon battery, NEF Lossless, & no time limit for video on D5100[/b] Here's another way to use a NON Nikon battery with the 5100. Go to Amazon and buy the $27.95 battery grip and install it on your 5100.[CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000][B](You're going to LOVE it[/B])[/COLOR]:sentimental: [/CENTER] Make sure your camera is off and insert an official, [B]OBSCENELY PRICED[/B] ::what:: [B]Nikon battery[/B] and turn the camera on. After you see on the view screen that the battery has been accepted, turn the camera off and then insert an extremely AFFORDABLE after market battery available on Amazon (I actually bought a couple for less than $4 each but now the cheapest seems to be around $13), in the second slot, next to the [B]OBSCENELY PRICED::what::Nikon battery[/B] and turn the camera back on. Now, if you WANT to, you can turn the camera back off, take out the [B]OBSCENELY PRICED ::what::official Nikon battery [/B]and REPLACE it with another AFFORDABLE after market battery. Turn your camera back on and [COLOR=#000000][B]SMILE[/B][/COLOR]:D. The fully charged [B]cheapie batteries will last JUST as long[/B]. At least mine do. The trick is that after removing both batteries you always have to insert an official [B]OBSCENELY PRICED ::what::Nikon battery [/B]first so you can "fool" the camera body that reads the chip Nikon puts in THEIR battery to [B]FORCE[/B] :pirate:you to pay for their [B]OBSCENELY PRICED battery[/B] even after you've shelled out hundreds or thousands of dollars to them for their camera body and lenses. [B][COLOR=#008080]Only a moron believes that there is something magical inside Nikon's battery that justifies the asinine price. [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]You'll also save a bundle by buying the aftermarket remote control on Amazon for $5.25 vs Nikon's $23.99 rip off price.[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
