Using the Grip
All the controls on the BG-F1 will perform the same functions as the corresponding controls on your camera. For
more information on their specific functions, refer to your camera’s instruction manual.
The BG-F1’s controls are ideal for shooting in portrait orientation and will work with your camera even if there is a
battery installed only in the camera and not in the grip. They will also work if there is a battery installed only in the
grip and not in the camera. To activate the controls on the BG-F1, slide the control-lock switch to the On position.
Deactivating the BG-F1’s controls is ideal for shooting in landscape orientation, when you may inadvertently press one
of the grip’s buttons. To deactivate the controls, slide the control-lock switch to the O position.
Note: The BG-F1’s control-lock switch will deactivate only the grip’s controls. It will not turn off your camera or prevent it from
drawing power from the BG-F1 if it is set to do so. To turn off your camera, use your camera’s power switch.
