The following can reduce battery life:
• Using the monitor
• Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway
• Repeated autofocus operations
• Taking NEF (RAW) or TIFF (RGB) photographs
• Slow shutter speeds
• Connecting to Ethernet or wireless networks
• Using the optional GP-1 GPS unit
• Using VR (vibration reduction) mode with VR lenses

To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL18
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.

• Check the condition of the battery regularly using the Battery

info option in the setup menu (

0 351). If j is displayed for

Calibration, calibrate the battery using the MH-26 battery
charger (if the battery has not been used for more than six
months, recharge the battery when calibration is complete).
