Please note that rapid ashing of the LED indicator is not to be
expected. e battery will not normally be so deeply discharged
because the camera will shut down automatically before complete
battery discharge takes place. e indicator might also ash rapidly
for a few moments in some instances when the charger is connected
to the electrical supply. e normal indication is therefore either
‘not ashing’ or ‘slow ashing’.
Attaching the battery to the camera 8
Holding the battery holder at against the grip and aligning the
two upper lugs with the slot in the grip, slide it back into position
as far as it will go. Swing back the battery holder retaining lever
until it clicks back into place.
Please note if you want to use the rechargeable battery with
an H1/H1D model, the rmware in the camera must be version
8.2.2 or later for the battery grip to function properly.
