Panasonic DMW-BGS5E Battery Grip for LUMIX S5

Extended Battery Life for Active Outdoor Shooting
By using two batteries — one in the camera and the other in the grip*, the DMW-BGS5 doubles the battery life for extended shooting.
* A battery pack is not included in the DMW-BGS5.

Exclusively designed for the LUMIX S5
This accessory extends the ergonomics of the camera, even when shooting vertically. It perfectly matches the camera, featuring the same style of buttons and intuitive joystick control.

Dust and splash-resistant
Splash Resistant works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically designed to support this feature. Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this battery grip is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
