The Canon BP-300 is a battery pack and vertical grip for the EOS Elan 7/7E 35mm SLR cameras. It provides a second shutter button in the vertical position which is very handy for fashion photography.
Here's how it is described in the EOS Elan 7 service manual:
"Dedicated to the EOS ELAN 7 E / EOS 30, this battery pack attaches to the camera bottom. The vertical grip has a shutter button and AE/FE lock button. It houses four size-AA batteries (Ni-Cd or nickel hydride only, lithium cannot be used). Also, by moving the built-in spacer in the battery chamber, the EOS ELAN 7 E / EOS 30’s two CR123A batteries can also be used."
Please note that batteries are not included.
