BG-C8 BATTERY GRIP Designed for the Canon EOS 6D DSLR Camera
Introduction Thank you for choosing Vello, and congratulations on your new BG-C8 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-C8 is compatible with the Canon EOS 6D DSLR camera. The BG-C8 accepts two Canon LP-E6 rechargeable batteries, or six AA batteries (alkaline, NiMH, lithium, or nickel-manganese) can be used instead for added convenience.
The BG-C8 should be used only with compatible devices specified in this manual. 6. Turn the grip power off when not shooting vertically. 2. Use only with batteries and battery holders recommended in this manual. 7. The battery level may not display properly if batteries are inserted before mounting the grip. 3. Cover the power terminals with the contact cap when the BG-C8 is not in use. This prevents electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching the power terminals. 8.
