    REFERENCE
    • The actual number of shots may be fewer than indicated above depending on the shooting conditions.
    • Pressing the shutter button halfway for long periods or operating only the autofocus can also reduce the number of possible shots.
    • The number of possible shots will decrease with more frequent use of the LCD monitor.
    • The number of possible shots with the BP-514 is the same as indicated in the table.
    • The number of possible shots with the BP-511 or BP-512 will be about 75% of the figures in the table for 23°C / 73°F. At 0°C / 32°F, the figures will be about the same as in the table.
    • The lens operation is powered by the camera's battery. Using certain lenses can reduce the number of possible shots.
    • Using the Image Stabilizer of the lens will decrease the number of possible shots (shorter battery life).
