Are there any special instructions that I need to be aware of or does anyone have a instruction sheet they can scan and post?

Just remove the battery door from the camera, store it in the battery door holder in the battery grip "stem", make sure the ON/OFF switch on the battery grip is switched to ON, then shoot away using the buttons on the battery grip as you would the matching buttons on the camera body.

Oh yea! Thats another! No need to tighten that mount screw down ridiculously tight, it wont fall off. Some body/grip combos over the years I know of get so tight or caught or jammed or something if theyve been over tightened it becomes VERY hard to get them off. So much so that I have seen the internal gearing in the grip broken as a result. [Gear List | Flickr
