Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the VIV-PG-50D. The VIV-PG-50D is a battery grip for Canon EOS 50D, 40D, 30D and 20D digital SLR cameras. It is capable of holding two BP-511A or six AA sized batteries. It is also equipped with a vertical shutter button, a dial, an AE lock/FE lock button, and an AF point selection button which will enable shooting in the same way as a horizontal grip.
