Hello,
I have an oddity.
Over the years I have accumulated an EOS 7D MK I, MK II plus an EOS 5 MK III and MK IV, all have Canon grip extenders.
All of the batteries, in pairs or singles work in all of the cameras (directly in the body) and in the grip extender shuttles. However, the 5D MK IV is not playing ball.
If I use any battery directly the bodies, perfect. If I put any battery in the shuttle in the grip extender, in either position, perfect.
But in the Mark IV, all of the batteries work directly in the body, all work as singles in the shuttle (either slot), but as soon as I put both batteries in the shuttle, only slot one works and displays in the camera menu.
As soon as I put two legitimate Canon batteries in the slot (either LP-E6 or LP-E6N) both work perfectly and both display in the camera menu.
Am I missing a trick or does Canon aggressively protect their body/Extender and only recognise legitimate Canon parts?
Regards,
Neil
