The battery still powers the camera and works without the flash. I have no idea how it got twisted. I I only used the standard battery that came in the box.
Thanks for the tool suggestion. I have tried to bend with small pliers, but it just keeps bouncing right back to this position. I agree, I am worried about fatigue so I wont attempt it anymore.
Thanks for comparing it to your wifes camera. I wasn't sure it this was unusual or not. I've never used a battery grip. I've only put the battery in by hand, that's why I was surprised this has bent. I will have to try with the pliers and pray.
