Troubleshooting

Grip not recognized by the camera

Ensure the grip is securely attached to the camera and the mounting screw is tightened. Verify that the camera's firmware is up-to-date. Try re-inserting the batteries into the grip.

Cooling fan not operating

Check that the camera is powered on and actively recording video in a mode that triggers the cooling function. Ensure the batteries in the grip are sufficiently charged.

Reduced battery life despite dual batteries

Verify that both LP-E6P batteries are fully charged and inserted correctly. Ensure no other accessories are draining power excessively. Check camera settings for power-saving options.
