By using two batteries — one in the camera and the other in the grip, the DMW-BG1 doubles the battery life for extended shooting (a battery pack is not included in the DMW-DMW-BG1. ).

Great egonomics

Easy to grip and access buttons in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The camera also features an 8-directional joystick with the same ease of operation as the camera body. Buttons and joystick can be used in the same way as the LUMIX S5II (DC-S5M2), LUMIX S5IIX (DC-S5M2X) and LUMIX G9II (DC-G9M2)
