Operation and Use of the Grip
1. Your camera must be turned ON for the grip to operate. When your camera is ON the grip
may be switched ON or OFF by using the Control Lock (14). Please note, the grip will
continue to supply power to your camera whether the Control Lock (14) is ON of OFF.
Setting the Control Lock (14) to OFF ( “L” position ) only disables the operation of the grip’s
camera controls.
2. At default settings, the battery in the camera’s chamber will be used only after the battery in
the grip is depleted. The Battery order option in the camera setup menu can be used to
change the order in which the batteries are used.
3. Use the grip’s Shutter Button (13) to comfortably auto focus and take photographs while
holding your camera in a vertical position.
4. Use the Main Command Dial (4), Multi Selector (5), and Sub-command Dial (15), as you
would on your camera.
5. Use the Tripod Socket (16) to mount your grip and camera to a tripod or quick release plate.
