BAT TERY GRIP

Designed for the Canon

EOS RP Mirrorless Camera

USER’S MANUAL

Thank you

for choosing Vello

The Vello BG-C18 battery grip offers extended shooting

time and comfort when shooting in a vertical (portrait)

orientation. The grip is compatible with the Canon EOS RP

Mirrorless Camera and accepts up to two Canon LP-E17

rechargeable batteries and simultaneously recharges

the power sources. It offers an alternate shutter release

button that triggers the camera via the included cable,

making the grip ideal for shooting portrait photography.

And the control-lock switch disables the shutter release

button to prevent unwanted exposures.

Please read through

this entire manual

before using the

B G- C18 battery grip.
