BAT TERY GRIP

DSLR Cameras

USER’S MANUAL

Introduction

The Vello BG-C13 battery grip offers many benefits,

such as extended shooting time and more control

and comfort when shooting in a vertical (portrait)

orientation. It is compatible with the Canon T6i and T6s

DSLR cameras. The BG-C13 accepts up to two Canon

LP-E17 rechargeable batteries. The BG-C13 is equipped

with alternate shutter-release, aperture value/exposure

compensation, AF point selection/magnify, and AE lock/

FE lock/lndex/Reduce buttons, as well as a main dial, for

shooting in a vertical position. These features make the

battery grip ideal for portrait photography.

Please read through this entire manual

before using the BG-C13 battery grip.

Precautions

The BG-C13 should be used only with compatible

devices as specified in this manual.

Use only with batteries recommended in this manual.

The BG-C13 cannot be used with other battery holders.

Cover the power terminals with the contact cap when

the BG-C13 is not in use. This prevents electrical shorts

caused by metal objects touching the power terminals.

4. 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.

The battery level may not display properly if batteries

are installed before mounting the grip.

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

7. Do not attempt to disassemble.
