standards.
Possible shots with Battery Grip BG-E18 (sold separately)
• With LP-E17 x 2: approx, twice the shots without the battery grip.
Doing any of the following will exhaust the battery sooner:
• Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.
• Activating the AF frequently without taking a picture.
• Using the lens Image Stabilizer.
• Using the LCD monitor frequently.
The number of possible shots may decrease depending on the actual
shooting conditions.
The lens operation is powered by the camera's battery. Depending on
the lens used, the battery power may exhaust faster.
