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

Battery Grip BG-E7 approximately doubles the number of possible shots with two LP-E6 batteries installed. With size-AA/LR6 alkaline batteries, the number of possible shots at 23°C / 73°F is approx. 400 shots without flash use and approx. 300 shots with 50% flash use.

The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following operations:

•Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.

•Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.

•Using the LCD monitor often.

•Using the lens Image Stabilizer.

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

For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 133.

See the [7Battery info.] menu to further check the battery’s condition (p.230).

If size-AA/LR6 batteries are used in Battery Grip BG-E7, a four-level

indicator will be displayed. ([
