Battery Endurance

The video footage or number of shots that can be recorded with a fully-charged EN‑EL15c rechargeable Li-ion battery 1 is given below. 2 Actual endurance varies with such factors as the condition of the battery, the interval between shots, and the options selected in the camera menus.

Photo Mode (Single Frame): Number of Shots 3

  • [Viewfinder only] selected for monitor mode with:

    • [ON] selected for [Energy saving (photo mode)] in the setup menu: Approx. 340 shots
    • [OFF] selected for [Energy saving (photo mode)] in the setup menu: Approx. 330 shots
  • [Monitor only] selected for monitor mode with:

    • [ON] selected for [Energy saving (photo mode)] in the setup menu: Approx. 370 shots
    • [OFF] selected for [Energy saving (photo mode)] in the setup menu: Approx. 340 shots

Photo Mode (Burst Photography): Number of Shots 4

Approx. 2280 shots

Video Mode: Length of Footage 5

  • [Viewfinder only] selected for monitor mode: Approx. 85 minutes
  • [Monitor only] selected for monitor mode: Approx. 85 minutes

Actions such as the following can reduce battery endurance:

  • keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway,
  • repeated autofocus operations,
  • taking NEF (RAW) photographs,
  • slow shutter speeds,
  • using camera Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) and Bluetooth features,
  • using the camera with optional accessories connected,
  • repeatedly zooming in and out, and
  • taking pictures at low ambient temperatures.

To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN‑EL15c 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.

EN‑EL15b and EN‑EL15a batteries can be used in place of the EN‑EL15c. Note, however, that fewer pictures can be taken on a single charge than with the EN‑EL15c.

Measured at 23 °C/73.4 °F (±2 °C/3.6 °F) with a SONY CEB‑G128 memory card.

Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standard. One photograph taken at default settings once every 30 s. Measured with a NIKKOR Z 24–70​mm f/4 S lens.

In-house measurements. Image quality set to JPEG normal, image size to “Large”, shutter speed to ¹⁄₂₅₀ s, shutter-release button pressed halfway for 3 s and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times before a burst of six shots, after which the viewfinder is turned on for 5 s and then turned off and the standby timer allowed to expire. This process is then repeated. Measured with a NIKKOR Z 70–200mm f/2.8 VR S lens. [Viewfinder only] was selected for monitor mode.

Actual battery endurance as measured under conditions specified by CIPA. Measured with a NIKKOR Z 24–70​mm f/4 S lens. Measurement performed at default settings.

  • Each shot can be up to 125 minutes in length.
  • If camera temperature rises, recording may end before maximum length or size is reached.
