Join the Grip to the Camera

  1. Turn of the camera.
  2.  Open the camera’s battery chamber cover and remove the battery. Unhinge and remove the compartment cover from the camera.
  3. Attach the chamber cover onto the battery compartment cover storage ( 12) for safekeeping on the grip.
  4.  Insert the grip’s electrical control bar in the camera’s open battery chamber. Slide the grip into the chamber until the camera base meets the grip and carefully align the grip attachment screw with the camera’s tripod socket. Turn the attachment wheel in the direction of the arrow to securely join the camera and grip.

Load the Batteries

  1. Turn the Camera and the Grip off.
  2. Open the battery chamber by turning the latch counterclockwise. Slide the battery tray from the grip body.
  3. Place each NP-FZIO0 battery module in its space, carefully aligning the cells to lay flat in the channel to assure firm contact in the tray. One cell can be used. The tray has space for two cells.
  4. Slide the battery tray back into the grip body. Rotate the lock clockwise and fold the handle into the pocket.
  5. Switch the Battery Grip ON. Turn your Camera ON. Confirm the grip is supplying power to your camera by observing the battery capacity display for your particular camera model. Recharge and replace batteries as often as necessary, but always before an important photo session.
  6. Fire away!

Important Notes:

  • Recharge and replace batteries as often as necessary, but always before an important photo session.
  • Vertical camera controls on the front right of the Grip, including a second camera trigger, are the same as the horizontal camera grip designations. The trigger button must be unlocked to activate.
  • Camera power is not controlled by the Grip. Always turn of both the Camera and the Grip when shutting down.
  • As we mentioned, this Grip has smarts, utilizing inserted batteries in a sequence of power reserve while displaying the status in real-time on the camera. Once two NP-FZ I 00 battery packs are inserted in the Grip, the one with less power reserve is displayed and is used first. The display shows the weaker module level. When the battery pack in use is depleted, the Grip automatically switches to the second cell.
