Nikon V1 manual Battery Life

Battery Life

The number of shots that can be taken with fully-charged batter- ies varies with the condition of the battery, temperature, such factors as the use of GPS devices or other accessories, the inter- val between shots, and the length of time menus are displayed. Sample figures for EN-EL15 (1900 mAh) batteries are given below.

•Still images: Approximately 400, or 350 with SB-N5

•Movies: Approximately 120 minutes of HD footage at 1080/60i

Values for still images measured at 25 °C/77 °F with a fully- charged EN-EL15 battery, a 1 NIKKOR VR 10–30mm f/3.5–5.6 lens, and a 16 GB Toshiba R95 W80MB/s UHS-I SDHC card according to the CIPA standard under the following test condi- tions: NORMAL-quality photographs taken at intervals of 30 s (measurements for the SB-N5 are made using the flash for every other shot) with the camera turned off and then on after every ten shots.

The following can reduce battery life:

•Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway

•Repeated autofocus operations

•Taking NEF (RAW) photographs

•Slow shutter speeds

•Using optional flash or GPS units

•Using vibration reduction mode with VR lenses

To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL15 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.
