Introduction
Thank you for choosing Vello and congratulations on

release button, AF start button, smart teleconverter/
focus magnifier, Fn/image rotation, AEL/slow sync/image

devices specified in this manual.
2. Only use with batteries and battery holders
recommended in this manual.

cap when the BG-S1is not in use. This prevents
electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching

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.

dry and cool place.
