Introduction

Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations 
on your new BG-N10 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-N10 is compatible with the Nikon D600 and 
D610 DSLR cameras. The BG-N10 accepts one Nikon 
EN-EL15 rechargeable battery, in addition to the 
camera’s internal battery. Six AA batteries (alkaline, 
Ni-MH, lithium, or nickel-manganese) can be used 
instead for added convenience. The BG-N10 is equipped 
with an alternate shutter-release button, AE-L/AF-L 
button, multi selector, and main and sub-command dials 
for shooting in a vertical position.

Please read through this entire manual before 
using the BG-N10 battery grip.
