The number of shots that can be taken with fully-charged batteries varies with the

condition of the battery, temperature, and how the camera is used. In the case of AA

batteries, capacity also varies with make and storage conditions; some batteries can

not be used. Sample figures for the camera and optional MB-D11 multi-power battery pack are given below.
