The following can reduce battery life:

•Using the monitor

•Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway

•Repeated autofocus operations

•Taking NEF (RAW) or TIFF (RGB) photographs

•Slow shutter speeds

•Using the optional WT-4 wireless transmitter

•Using the optional GP-1 GPS unit

•Using VR (vibration reduction) mode with VR lenses

To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL3e batteries:

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

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