The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4, no Live View shooting, and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.

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 actual number of shots may be fewer than indicated above depending on the 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 battery life with Live View shooting, see page 129.

See the [6Battery info.] menu to further check the battery’s condition (p.247).
