The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6, no Live
View shooting, and CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing
standards.
Possible shots with Battery Grip BG-E9
• With LP-E6 x 2: Approx. twice the shots without the battery grip.
• With size-AA/LR6 alkaline batteries (at 23°C / 73°F): Approx. 550 shots
without flash use, or approx. 410 shots with 50% flash use.
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 lens operation is powered by the camera's battery. Depending on
the lens used, the number of possible shots may be lower.
For the number of possible shots with Live View shooting, see page 153.
See the [7 Battery info.] menu to further check the battery's condition
(p.268).
If size-AA/LR6 batteries are used in Battery Grip BG-E9, a four-level
