Optional Battery Grip (D-BG3)
Along with this model, PENTAX developed a new battery grip as an optional accessory for exclusive use with the PENTAX K200D. Combined with the camera body batteries, this grip extends battery life and captures a larger number of images without battery changes. With an extra shutter-release button, preview lever and AE-lock button, the grip makes vertical-position shooting simple and effortless. The battery grip also features the same reliable dust-proof, water-resistant construction as the K200D camera body.
