Battery Life The number of shots that can be taken with fully-charged batteries varies with the condition of the battery, temperature, and how the camera is used. In the case of AA batteries, capacity also varies with make and storage conditions; some batteries can not be used. Sample figures for the camera and optional MB-D11 multi-power battery pack are given below. • CIPA standard 1 One EN-EL15 battery (camera): Approximately 1050 shots One EN-EL15 battery (MB-D11): Approximately 1050 shots Six AA batteries (MB-D11): Approximately 650 shots Two EN-EL15 batteries (one in camera and one in MB-D11): Approximately 2100 shots • Nikon standard 2 One EN-EL15 battery (camera): Approximately 4500 shots One EN-EL15 battery (MB-D11): Approximately 4500 shots Six AA batteries (MB-D11): Approximately 1700 shots Two EN-EL15 batteries (one in camera and one in MB-D11): Approximately 9000 shots 1 Measured at 23 °C/73.4 °F (±2 °C/3.6 °F) with an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens under the following test conditions: lens cycled from infinity to minimum range and one photograph taken at default settings once every 30 s; flash fired once every other shot. Live view not used. 2 Measured at 20 °C/68 °F with an AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens under the following test conditions: image quality set to JPEG basic, image size set to M (medium), shutter speed 1/250 s, shutter-release button pressed halfway for three seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times; six shots are then taken in succession and monitor turned on for five seconds and then turned off; cycle repeated once exposure meters have turned off. 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 • Using the optional WT-4 wireless transmitter • Using a GP-1 GPS unit • Using VR (vibration reduction) mode with VR lenses To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL15 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. n 321
