Checking the Battery Information

3
You can check the battery's condition on the LCD monitor. Each Battery
Pack LP-E6/LP-E6N has a unique serial number, and you can register
multiple battery packs to the camera. When you use this feature, you
can check the registered battery pack's remaining capacity and
operation history.
Battery position
The use of a genuine Canon Battery Pack LP-E6/LP-E6N is recommended.
If you use any battery other than the Battery Pack LP-E6/LP-E6N, the
camera's full performance may not be attained or malfunction may result.
The shutter count is the number of still photos taken. (Movies are not counted.)
The battery information will also be displayed when an LP-E6/LP-E6N
battery pack is in Battery Grip BG-E13. If you use size-AA/LR6 batteries,
only the battery level indicator will be displayed.
If communication with the battery is not possible or irregular for some
reason, [Use this battery?] will be displayed. If you select [OK], you can
continue shooting. However, depending on the battery, the battery info
screen may not be displayed or may not display battery info correctly.
