Battery Life
The number
of
shots or movie footage
that
can
be recorded
with
fully-charged
batteries varies
with
the condition
of
the battery,
temperature, the interval between shots, and the length
of
time
menus are displayed.
Sample
figures for
EN-EL20
(1
020 mAh)
batteries are given below.
•
Still
images:
Approximately
220
shots
•
Movies:
Approximately
45
minutes
of
HD
footage
at
1
080/60i
Measured according
to
CIPA
standards at
23
+ 3
oc
(73.4 +5.4
°F)
with
the camera at default settings, a fully-charged battery, a
1
NIKKOR
VR
1
0-30mm
f/3.5-5.6
lens, and a 16GB Toshiba
SD-E016GUX
UHS-1
SDHC
card. Value for still
images obtained
under
the
following
test conditions:
photographs
taken
at
intervals
of
30
s
with
the
built-in flash fired
with
every
other
shot and
the
camera
turned
off
and then on after every ten
shots. Value for movies obtained under the following
test con-
ditions: a series
of
20
minute
movies
with
a
file
size
of
up
to
4GB were recorded; recording
was
only interrupted when tem-
perature warning
was
displayed.
The following can reduce battery life:
•
Keeping the shutter-release
button
pressed halfway
•
Repeated autofocus operations
•
Taking
NEF
(RAW)
photographs
• Slow
shutter speeds
•
Using a wireless mobile adapter or
Eye-Fi
cards
•
Using vibration reduction mode
with
VR
lenses
•
Using zoom
with
power zoom lenses
To
ensure
that
you
get
the
most
from
rechargeable
Nikon
EN-EL20
batteries:
•
Keep
the battery contacts clean. Soiled
contacts can reduce
battery performance.
•
Use
batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will
lose
their charge
if
left unused.
