Battery Life

The number of shots that can be taken with a fully-charged EN-EL3e battery (1500 mAh) varies

with the con di tion of the batteries, temperature, and how the camera and WT-3 are used.

The following measurements were performed at a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) both with the

WT-3 oﬀ and while uploading photographs to a Windows XP Professional SP2 computer using

Auto send.

Example 1

Network None (WT-3 oﬀ ) Wireless (802.11g, infrastructure mode) Ethernet (100 base-TX)

No. of shots 1600 1000 1100

Camera

settings

Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 70–200 mm f/2.8G IF ED lens (VR oﬀ ); con tin u ous high-

speed shoot ing mode; con tin u ous-servo autofocus; image quality set to JPEG

Basic; im age size set to M; shutter speed ½50 s; shut ter-re lease pressed half way for

three sec onds and fo cus cycled from inﬁ nity to min i mum range three times with

each shot; after six shots, mon i tor turned on for ﬁ ve seconds and then turned oﬀ ;

cycle re peat ed after eight seconds.

Example 2

Network None (WT-3 oﬀ ) Wireless (802.11g, infrastructure mode) Ethernet (100 base-TX)

No. of shots 300 200 210

Camera

settings

Zoom Nikkor AF-S VR 24–120 mm f/3.5–5.6G IF ED lens (VR oﬀ ); sin gle-frame

shoot ing mode; single-ser vo autofocus; image qual i ty set to JPEG Normal; im age

size set to L; shut ter speed ½50 s; shut ter-re lease pressed half way for ﬁ ve seconds

and fo cus cycled from inﬁ nity to min i mum range once with each shot; built-in

Speedlight ﬁ red at full power with every other shot; AF-assist illuminator lights

when Speedlight is used; cycle re peat ed after eight seconds; camera turned oﬀ

for one minute after ten photographs have been transferred.

The following can reduce battery life:

• Using the monitor

• Keeping the shutter-release button pressed

halfway

• Repeated autofocus operations

• Taking NEF (RAW) photographs

• 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 un-

used.

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