Battery Life
The movie footage or number of shots that can be recorded with fully-charged batteries
varies with the condition of the battery, temperature, the interval between shots, and the
length of time menus are displayed. Sample figures for EN-EL14a (1230 mAh) batteries are
given below.
•
Photographs, single-frame release mode (CIPA standard
1
) : Approximately 600 shots
•
Photographs, continuous release mode (Nikon standard
2
)
: Approximately 2000 shots
•
Movies : Approximately 50 minutes at 1080/60p and 1080/50p

1 Measured at 23 °C/73.4 °F (±3 °C/5.4 °F) with an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–55mm
f/3.5–5.6G VR lens under the following test conditions: lens cycled from infinity to
minimum range and one photograph taken at default settings once every 30 s; after
photograph is taken, monitor is turned on for 4 s; tester waits for standby timer to
expire after monitor is turned off; flash fired at full power once every other shot. Live
view not used.

s,
focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times after shutter-release button
has been pressed halfway for 3 s; six shots are then taken in succession and monitor
turned on for 4 s and then turned off; cycle repeated once standby timer has expired.
3 Measured at 23°C/73.4°F (±3°C/5.4°F) with the camera at default settings and an AF-S
DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR lens under conditions specified by the Camera and
Imaging Products Association (CIPA). Individual movies can be up to 20 minutes in
length or 4 GB in size; recording may end before these limits are reached if the camera
temperature rises.
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
•
Using the built-in Wi-Fi or location data functions, or using an optional location data unit
•
Using an Eye-Fi card
•
Using VR (vibration reduction) mode with VR lenses
To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL14a 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.
