The use of a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6 is recommended. If you use any battery other than the Battery Pack LP-E6, the camera’s full performance may not be attained or malfunction may result.

If you use two LP-E6 battery packs in the Battery Grip BG-E7, battery information for the two battery packs will appear.

When size-AA/LR6 batteries are used in the Battery Grip BG-E7, only the battery check display will be displayed.

If for some reason, communication with the battery is not successful, the

battery check display will show < > on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder. [Cannot communicate with battery] will be displayed. Just select [OK] and you can continue shooting.
