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 bu ttons,
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.
