Wrist Strap
A wrist strap provides an additional safety precaution when you
choose to hand-hold your camera. A wrist strap with a tripod
screw can attach to the mount at the bottom of the pistol grip.
Monitor Hood
A monitor hood can be useful for reducing glare on the onboard
monitor when shooting in bright daylight. The D16 monitor hood
attaches via the two large screw threads above the onboard
monitor and provides shade and an angled view of what’s on
the screen. Best used with MIRROR LCD mode. (See Page 25)
Weather-sealed Skin
The D16 has a rugged outer body with few points of entry for
moisture and small particles, but for shoots on the beach or in
raining, humid, or snowy weather, your camera will be better
protected with a rubber, weather-sealed skin that ts snugly
over the ports on the left side of the camera.
