Battery Life

The number of shots that can be taken with a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery (1500 mAh) varies with the condition of the batteries, temperature, and how the camera is used. The following measurements were performed at a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F).

Example 1: 1800 shots

Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 70–200 mm f/2.8G IF ED lens (VR off ); continuous shooting mode; continuous-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Basic; image size set to M; shutter speed / s; shutter-release pressed halfway for three seconds and focus cycled from infin- ity to minimum range three times with each shot; after six shots, monitor turned on for five seconds and then turned off; cycle repeated once exposure meters have turned off.

Example 2: 340 shots

Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 24–120 mm f/3.5–5.6G IF ED lens (VR off ); single-frame shooting mode; single-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG Normal; image size set to L; shutter speed / s; shutter-release pressed halfway for five seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range once with each shot; built-in Speedlight fired at full power with every other shot; AF-assist illuminator lights when Speedlight is used; cycle repeated once expo- sure meters have turned off; camera turned off for one minute with every ten shots.

The following can reduce battery life:
•	Using the monitor	• Repeated autofocus operations
•	Keeping the shutter-release button	•	Taking NEF (RAW) photographs
	pressed halfway	•	Slow shutter speeds

To ensure maximum battery performance:

•Keep the battery contacts clean. Soiled contacts can reduce battery performance.

•Use EN-EL3e batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left unused.

The battery level displayed by the camera may vary with changes in temperature.
