Battery Endurance

The video footage or number of shots that can be recorded with a fully-charged EN-EL18d 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

Photo Mode (Burst Photography): Number of Shots ⁴

Approx. 5310 shots

Video Mode: Length of Footage ⁵

Actions such as the following can reduce battery endurance:

To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL18d batteries:

1. EN-EL18c, EN-EL18b, EN-EL18a, and EN-EL18 batteries can also be used. Note, however, that fewer pictures can be taken on a single charge than with the EN-EL18d.

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

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

4. 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.

5. Actual battery endurance as measured under conditions specified by CIPA. Measured with a NIKKOR Z 24–70mm 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.
