Battery Life
The number of shots that can be taken with a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery (1500 mAh)
varies with the con di tion of the batteries, temperature, and how the camera is used. The
following measurements were performed at a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F).
Example 1: 1800 shots
Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 70–200 mm f/2.8G IF ED lens (VR off ); con tin u ous shoot ing mode;
con tin u ous-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Basic; im age size set to M; shutter
speed / s; shut ter-re lease pressed half way for three sec onds and fo cus cycled from infi n-
ity to min i mum range three times with each shot; after six shots, mon i tor turned on for fi ve
seconds and then turned off ; cycle re peat ed once exposure meters have turned off .
Example 2: 340 shots
Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 24–120 mm f/3.5–5.6G IF ED lens (VR off ); sin gle-frame shoot ing
mode; single-ser vo autofocus; image qual i ty set to JPEG Normal; im age size set to L; shut ter
speed / s; shut ter-re lease pressed half way for fi ve seconds and fo cus cycled from infi nity
to min i mum range once with each shot; built-in Speedlight fi red at full power with every
other shot; AF-assist illuminator lights when Speedlight is used; cycle re peat ed once expo-
sure meters have turned off ; camera turned off for one minute with every ten shots.
The following can reduce battery life:
• Using the monitor
• Keeping the shutter-release button
pressed halfway
• Repeated autofocus operations
• Taking NEF (RAW) photographs
• Slow shutter speeds
To ensure maximum battery performance:
• Keep the battery contacts clean. Soiled contacts can reduce battery performance.
• Use EN-EL3e batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left
un used.
The battery level displayed by the camera may vary with changes in temperature.
