The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6, no Live View shooting, and IPA ( amera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.

The actual number of shots may be fewer than indicated above depending on the shooting conditions.

Pressing the shutter button halfway for long periods or operating only the autofocus can also reduce the number of possible shots.

The number of possible shots will decrease with more frequent use of the LCD monitor.

The lens operation is powered by the camera’s battery. Depending on the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower.

Using the Image Stabilizer of the lens will decrease the number of possible shots (shorter battery life).

For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 111.

See the [7Battery info.] menu to further check the battery’s condition (p.192).

If size-AA/LR6 batteries are used in Battery Grip BG-E6, a four-level

indicator will be displayed. ([ / ] will not be displayed.)
