recommended.

The use of a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6 is recommended. If you use any battery other than the Battery Pack LP-E6, the camera’s full performance may not be attained or malfunction may result.

The shutter count is the number of still photos taken. (Movies are not counted.) The battery information will also be displayed when a LP-E6 battery pack is in the Battery Grip BG-E11. If you use size-AA/LR6 batteries, only the battery level indicator will be displayed.

If for some reason, communication with the battery is not possible or irregular, [Use this battery?] will be displayed. If you select [OK], you can continue shooting. However, depending on the battery, the battery info screen may not be displayed or may not display battery info correctly.
