For the portrait and event, sports or landscape photographer, who wants a more balanced feel with vertical shoot- ing capabilities, the MB-N12 Power Battery Pack is the ideal companion to the Z 8. The MB-N12 extends shooting time 1.8x (CIPA standard) for the Z 8 vs the single battery in the camera alone, along with adding the convenience of a vertical shutter release button, main- and sub-command dials, multi selector, Fn button and AF-ON button.

• Batteries. The MB-N12 is powered by two EN-EL15 series batteries (EN-EL15c, EN-EL15b or EN-EL15a).

• Hot Swappable. One EN-EL15 series battery in the MB-N12 is hot swappable.

• The battery pack supports both USB power charging and delivery via the EH-7P/EH-8P*.

• Ergonomic. Thanks to its ergonomically designed grip, the MB-N12 provides firm and secure holding even when a long telephoto lens is attached.

• Charging the MB-N12. Use either the optional EH-7P or EH-8p (UC-E25 cable must be used which is sold separately) to charge the batteries in the MB-N12.

• The MB-N12 allows you to charge batteries inside it even when it is not attached to the camera body.

* The EH-8P requires the use of the UC-E25 USB Cable.
