Checking the Battery Level
When the power switch is set to <1>, the battery level will be
indicated in one of six levels:
Battery Life
Temperature
Possible shots
The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4, no Live View
shooting, and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.
The number of possible shots will decrease with any of the following
operations:
• Pressing the shutter button halfway for a prolonged period.
• Often activating only the AF without taking a picture.
• Using the LCD monitor often.
• Using the lens Image Stabilizer.
The actual number of shots may be fewer than indicated above
depending on the shooting conditions.
The lens operation is powered by the camera's battery. Depending on
the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower.
For battery life with Live View shooting, see page 129.
See the [6 Battery info.] menu to further check the battery's condition
(p.247).
