BG-C8

BAT TERY GRIP

Designed For The Canon

EOS 6D DSLR Camera

USER’S MANUAL

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, Ni-

MH, lithium, or nickel-manganese) can be used instead

for added convenience. The BG-C8 is equipped with

an alternate shutter-release button, AF on button, AF

point selection, AE lock/FE lock button, and main dial for

shooting in a vertical position.

Please read through this entire manual before using

the BG-C8 battery grip.

Precautions

1. The BG-C8 should only be used with compatible

devices specified in this manual.

2. Only use with batteries and battery holders

recommended in this manual.

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.

4. When you remove the battery holder from the

grip, remove the batteries or place the holder in

a container to prevent electrical shorts caused by

contact with other metal objects.

5. If you notice smoke, an unusual smell or noise from

the battery pack, discontinue use immediately.

Remove the batteries and take the device to a Vello

authorized reseller.

6. Turn the grip power off when not shooting

vertically.

7. The battery level may not display properly if

batteries are inserted before mounting the grip.

8. Remove batteries from the grip when not in use.

9. Do not attempt to disassemble.

10. Avoid water or extreme humidity and keep in a

dry and cool place.

11. Keep out of reach of children.
