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-D14 multi-power battery pack are given below. • CIPA standard 1 One EN-EL15 battery (camera): Approximately 900 shots One EN-EL15 battery (MB-D14): Approximately 900 shots Six AA alkaline batteries (MB-D14): Approximately 450 shots • Nikon standard 2 One EN-EL15 battery (camera): Approximately 3900 shots One EN-EL15 battery (MB-D14): Approximately 3900 shots Six AA alkaline batteries (MB-D14): Approximately 1300 shots 1 Measured at 23 °C/73.4 °F (±2 °C/3.6 °F) with an AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G 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 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR 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 standby timer expires. 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 a GP-1 GPS unit • Using an Eye-Fi card • Using a WU-1b wireless mobile adapter • 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 337
