Open the battery cover to approx 45 degrees and pull it away gently.

What brand is the NG-E4? The official canon on is the BG-E2 or BG-E2N (extra weather sealing)

Canons BG-E4 is for the 5D.

To remove battery cover, hold open at 45 degrees and gently pull, then slot it in the side of the battery grip.

NG-E4?

 

[Danger_Mouse]

sorry, BG-E4

its for the 5D but works fine on my 40D. apparently its not water tight ***....but the camera either

 

[Davie]

5D grip works with the 40D?

If it does, why would you. They're dearer than a 40d grip aren't they?

 

[andrewc]

Does it have an af-on button?

once again i have been wrong, i have the box for a BG-E4 but the grip is a BG-E2

wow, what a kerfuffle!!
