Supported Standards

• DCF Version 2.0: The Design Rule for Camera File Systems (DCF) is a standard widely used in the digital camera industry to ensure compatibility among different makes of cameras. 
• DPOF: Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-wide standard that allows pictures to be printed from print orders stored on the memory card.

• HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface is a standard for multimedia interfaces used in consumer electronics and AV devices capable of transmitting audiovisual data and control signals to HDMI-compliant devices via a single cable connection.

Battery Life

The number of shots that can be taken with fully-charged batteries varies with the condition of the battery, temperature, and how the camera is used. In the case of AA batteries, capacity also varies with make and storage conditions; some batteries can not be used. Sample figures for the camera and optional MB-D14 multi-power battery pack are given below.

1. Measured at 23 °C/73.4 °F (‡2 °C/3.6 °F) with an AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens under the following test conditions: lens cycled from infinity to minimum range and one photograph taken at default settings once every 30 s; flash fired once every other shot. Live view not used.
2. Measured at 20 °C/68 °F with an AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens under the following test conditions: image quality set to JPEG basic, image size set to M (medium), shutter speed /250 s, shutter- release button pressed halfway for three seconds and focus cycled from infinity to minimum range three times; six shots are then taken in succession and monitor turned on for five seconds and then turned off; cycle repeated once standby timer expires. 
3. Measured at 23 °C/73.4 °F (#3 °C/5.4 °F) with the camera at default settings and an AF-S NIKKOR 24- 85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens under conditions specified by the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIA). Individual movies can be up to 20 minutes (1080/30p and 1080/25p) in length or 4 GB in size: recording may end before these limits are reached if the camera temperature rises.

The following can reduce battery life: 

• Using the monitor 
• Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway
• Repeated autofocus operations 
• Taking NEF (RAW) photographs 
• Slow shutter speeds
