At the time of writing, the following accessories were available for the D5300.

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

Filters

Filters intended for special-effects photography may interfere with autofocus

or the electronic rangefinder.

The D5300 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.

Viewfinder
eyepiece
accessories

• 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 +1.0 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.

The monitor can not be rotated with the adapter in place.

• 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). The monitor can not be rotated with the attachment in place.

Software

• 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 to record

movies and photographs and save photographs directly to the computer hard
disk.

Note

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

auto update feature (Nikon Message Center 2) when the computer is connected
to the Internet. See the websites listed on page xiv for the latest information on
supported operating systems.
