BG-N8

BAT TERY GRIP

Designed for the Nikon D300

and D300s SLR Cameras

USER’S MANUAL

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations on

your new BG-N8battery 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-N8is compatible with the Nikon D300

and D300s DSLR cameras. The BG-N8accepts one

Nikon EN-EL3e, EN-EL4a, or EN-EL4 rechargeable

battery, in addition to the camera’s internal battery.

Eight AA batteries (alkaline, Ni-MH, lithium, or nickel-

manganese) can be used instead for added convenience.

The BG-N8is equipped with an alternate shutter-

release button, AF-ON button, multi selector, and

main and sub-command dials for shooting in a vertical

position. Please read through this entire manual before using the BG-

N8 battery grip.

Precautions

1. The BG-N8should only be used with compatible

devices specified in this manual.

2. Only use with batteries and battery holders

recommended in this manual. The BG-N8can

not be used with Nikon EN-EL3a/EN-EL3 Li-ion

batteries or other battery holders.

3. Cover the power terminals with the contact

cap when the BG-N8is not in use. This prevents

electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching

the power terminals.

4. When the battery holder is removed 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. The memory card access lamp may light up when

the BG-N8is mounted or removed from the

camera. This is part of the normal operation.

6. 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.

7. The BG-N8does not have a power switch. Instead,

use the camera power switch to turn the power

on or off.

8. The battery level may not display properly if

batteries are inserted before mounting the grip.

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

10. Do not attempt to disassemble.

11. Avoid water or extreme humidity and keep in a dry

and cool place.

12 . Keep out of reach of children.
