BG-P1

BAT TERY GRIP

Designed For The Panasonic

Lumix GH3 and GH4

USER’S MANUAL

Introduction

The BG-P1 accepts a DMW-BLF19PP battery to

effectively double the runtime of your Panasonic

Lumix GH3 or GH4 camera, making it easier to shoot

for longer durations without replacing your camera’s

batteries.

The BG-P1 attaches securely to your camera’s 1/4"-20

tripod socket, as nonslip rubber enhances your grip and

handling when shooting in a vertical position. Alternate

shutter-release, white balance, ISO, EV, and Fn buttons,

plus front and rear command dials, make it comfortable

to shoot in portrait orientation, so you won’t have to

twist your arm to get the right shot.

Please read through this

entire manual before using the

BG-P1 battery grip.

Precautions

1. The BG-P1 should be used with only the compatible

devices and batteries specified in this manual.

2. Cover the power terminal with the contact

cap when the BG-P1 is not in use. This prevents

electrical shorts caused by metal objects touching

the power terminals.

3. If you notice smoke, an unusual smell, or noise

coming from the battery pack, discontinue use

immediately. Remove the battery and contact the

Vello Customer Service Department.

4. Keep this product away from water and any

flammable gases or liquids.

5. Install batteries in the proper orientation. Installing

batteries in the reverse orientation can cause them

to leak, overheat, or explode.

6. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair this

product.

7. Clean this product with only a soft, dry cloth.

8. Keep this product away from children.

9. Make sure that this product is intact and that there

are no missing parts.

10.To avoid damage to this product, be careful not

to overtighten or improperly thread any of the

threaded fittings.

11. Remove the battery from the grip before long-

term storage.

Attaching The Grip

1. Make sure your camera is

turned off.

2. Remove the middle rubber

contact cap from the

bottom of your camera

and the plastic contact cap

from the grip, and store

them in the corresponding

contact cap compartments

in the battery grip.

3. Align the grip’s mounting

screw, mounting pins,

and contacts with their

counterparts in your

camera, and insert the grip

into the camera.

4. Rotate the grip’s locking

wheel in the direction of

the arrow until the grip is

firmly attached. Be careful

not to overtighten.

Tip: If you plan to use a single battery, we recommend inserting the battery into

the grip (see Inserting a Battery on page 8) rather than into your camera. This

way, you will be able to access the battery while the grip is installed.

OVERVIEW INTRODUCTIONASSEMBLYOPER ATION

Inserting A Battery

1. Slide the battery

compartment latch

to the Open position.

The chamber door will

automatically open.

2. Insert the battery all

the way into the battery

chamber, until the battery

locks into place.

3. Close the battery chamber

door and slide the latch to

the Lock position.

Note: If the battery is not in the

correct orientation, you won’t

be able to insert it all the way,

and the battery will not lock into

place.

4. To remove the battery,

open the battery chamber

and pull the release lever.

Note: When using two batteries, one installed in the camera and one in the grip,

you can program your camera to draw power from one battery before the other.

For more information on this feature, refer to your camera’s instruction manual.

OVERVIEW INTRODUCTIONASSEMBLYOPER ATION

Using The Grip

All the controls on the BG-P1 will perform the same functions as the corresponding controls on your camera. For

more information on their speciﬁc functions, refer to your camera’s instruction manual.

The BG-P1’s controls are ideal for shooting in portrait orientation and will work with your camera even if there is no

battery installed in the grip. To activate the controls on the BG-P1, slide the on/o switch to the On position.

Deactivating the BG-P1’s controls is ideal for shooting in landscape orientation, when you may inadvertently press

one of the grip’s buttons. To deactivate the controls, slide the on/o switch to the O position.

Note: The BG-P1’s on/off switch will deactivate only the grip’s controls. It will not turn off your camera or prevent it from

drawing power from the BG-P1 if it is set to do so. To turn off your camera, use your camera’s power switch.
