Technical Notes-Specifications Battery Life The number of shots that can be taken with a fully-charged EN-EL3 battery (1400 mAh) varies with the condition 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: 2000 shots AF-S DX ED 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G lens; continuous shooting mode; continuousservo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Basic; image size set to M; shutter speed ½50 s; shutter-release pressed halfway for three seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times; after six shots, monitor turned on for five seconds and then turned off; cycle repeated once exposure meters have turned off. Example 2: 400 shots AF-S DX ED 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G lens; single-frame shooting mode; single-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Normal; image size set to L; shutter speed ½50 s; shutter-release pressed halfway for five seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range once with each shot; built-in Speedlight fired at full power with every other shot; AF-assist illuminator lights when Speedlight is used; cycle repeated once exposure 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-EL3 batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left unused. 135

Technical Notes—Specifications
Battery Life
The number of shots that can be taken with a fully-charged EN-EL3 battery
(1400 mAh) varies with the condition 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: 2000 shots
AF-S DX ED 18–55 mm f/3.5–5.6G lens; continuous shooting mode; continuous-
servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Basic; image size set to
M
; shutter speed
½
50
s; shutter-release pressed halfway for three seconds and focus cycled from infinity
to minimum range three times; after six shots, monitor turned on for five seconds
and then turned off; cycle repeated once exposure meters have turned off.
Example 2: 400 shots
AF-S DX ED 18–55 mm f/3.5–5.6G lens; single-frame shooting mode; single-servo
autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Normal; image size set to
L
; shutter speed
½
50
s; shutter-release pressed halfway for five seconds and focus cycled from infinity
to minimum range once with each shot; built-in Speedlight fired at full power with
every other shot; AF-assist illuminator lights when Speedlight is used;
cycle repeated
once exposure 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-EL3 batteries immediately after charging.
Batteries will lose their charge if
left unused.
