Similar handling vertically and horizontally The VG-C3EM body's design makes it just as easy to control the camera in both vertical and horizontal positions, thanks to the buttons and controls that are virtually identical to those on the back of the camera body. For example, the vertical grip features a multi-selector for quickly selecting an AF point. Grip shape similar to the a9, a7riii, a7iii body for a secure hold The VG-C3EM features a grip shape similar to that of the α9, a7riii, a7iii body, which improves the grip to allow you to enjoy almost as reliable shooting in vertical position as in horizontal. Almost twice as long The VG-C3EM Vertical Grip allows two NP-FZ100 batteries to be inserted into the case. Check the camera's LCD monitor to see the remaining battery charge in use as a percentage (minimum 1%) using the battery indicator. When one battery is depleted, the other battery automatically switches on for extended use. Highly rigid magnesium on the outside This grip is made of magnesium alloy, just like the α9, a7riii, a7iii models, making it very rigid and lightweight. USB charging via camera body You can charge batteries installed in the vertical grip using the camera's USB port without removing the grip from the camera body. Special attention to resistance to dust and moisture Buttons and controls, as well as ports and electronic contacts, feature effective dust- and moisture-resistant sealing for intensive use in harsh shooting conditions.
