Possible shots with Battery Grip BG-E11

With LP-E6 x 2: approx. twice the shots without the battery grip.

With size-AA/LR6 alkaline batteries (at 23°C / 73°F): approx. 270 shots.

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

Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.

Activating the AF frequently without taking a picture.

Using the lens Image Stabilizer.

Using the LCD monitor often.

The number of possible shots may decrease depending on the actual shooting conditions.

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

For the number of possible shots with Live View shooting, see page 199. See [53: Battery info.] to check the battery’s condition in detail (p.338). If size-AA/LR6 batteries are used in Battery Grip BG-E11, a four-level indicator will be displayed. ([x/m] will not be displayed.)
