Comfortable VG-C77AM vertical grip
Operation is extremely comfortable during
vertical framing, thanks to the optional
vertical grip and flexibly adjustable
LCD display. Optimized contours fit your
hand comfortably and contribute to a
steady grip that minimizes accidental
slips. The back of the grip is wide enough
to firmly support your thumb, and
essential controls are built in, including
a convenient shutter button. The grip
