It can be loaded and unloaded more easily before the lens is mounted, and, of course, if the action grip is attached, it must be removed while loading. You should always wipe the battery poles with a clean, dry cloth before insertion to prevent any cor-
rosion and damage to the camera due to dirt or fingerprints.
To load the battery:
1.Apply either a fingernail or the eyepiece protective cover, which is inserted into the accessory shoe of the camera, into the groove of the battery chamber cover and lift lightly so that the cover flips up.
2.Following the diagram on the inside of the battery chamber, load the battery negative pole first, pushing it downwards in the chamber. Make sure the poles are facing in the correct directions. Incorrect loading can lead to possible corrosion and damage to the battery terminals besides causing the battery to discharge very quickly.
To unload the battery, simply tip the positive end forwards and pull it out from the top. The battery should be removed if the camera is not to be used for an excessively long period of time.
