Battery Info

View information on the battery currently inserted in the camera.

No. of shots

The number of times the shutter has been released with the current battery since the battery was last charged. Note that the camera may sometimes release the shutter without recording a photograph, for example when measuring preset white balance.

Calibration

This item is displayed only when the camera is powered by an optional MB-D18 multi-power battery pack equipped with an EN-EL18c (available separately).

j: Due to repeated use and recharging, calibration is required to ensure that battery level can be measured accurately; recalibrate battery before charging.
—: Calibration not required.

Battery age

A five-level display showing battery age. 0 (k) indicates that battery performance is unimpaired, 4 (l) that the battery has reached the end of its charging life and should be replaced. Note that fresh batteries charged at temperatures under about 5 °C (41 °F) may show a temporary drop in charging life; the battery age display will however return to normal once the battery has been recharged at a temperature of about 20 °C (68 °F) or higher.

The MB-D18 Multi-Power Battery Pack

The display for the MB-D18 is shown in the illustration. In the case of EN-EL18c batteries, the display shows whether calibration is required. If AA batteries are used, the battery level will be shown by a battery level icon; other items will not be displayed.
