BG-C4 BATTERY GRIP Designed for the Canon EOS 7D DSLR Camera
Introduction Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations on your new BG-C4 battery grip purchase. Enjoy the many benefits that a battery grip offers, such as extended shooting time and more control and comfort when shooting in a vertical (portrait) orientation. The Vello BG-C4 is compatible with the Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera. The BG-C4 accepts two Canon LPE6 rechargeable batteries, or six AA batteries (alkaline, Ni-MH, lithium, or nickel-manganese) can be used instead for added convenience.
The BG-C4 should only be used with compatible devices specified in this manual. 2. Only use with batteries and battery holders recommended in this manual. 6. Turn the grip power off when not shooting vertically. 3. Cover the power terminals with the contact cap when the BG-C4 is not in use. This prevents electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching the power terminals. 7. The battery level may not display properly if batteries are inserted before mounting the grip. 8.
