Usable number of 36-exposure film rolls per set of fresh

batteries (Approx.):

The usable number of film rolls was tested under the following

conditions by Nikon:

Test 1

Using an AF-S VR 24-120mm f/.3.5-5.6G ED-IF lens, Vibration Reduction

function on, in Continuous Servo AF with film advance mode at S and shut-

ter speed of 1/250 second. After lightly pressing the shutter release button

for 8 seconds, autofocus operation covers the full range from infinity (∞) to

the closest distance and back to infinity (∞) before each shot. After the

exposure meter automatically turns off, the same operation follows for the

next shot.

(with MB-40)

Test 2

Using an AF-S VR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF lens, Vibration Reduction function

on, in Continuous Servo AF with film advance mode at CH and shutter

speed of 1/250 second. After lightly pressing the shutter release button for

3 seconds, autofocus operation covers the full range from infinity (∞) to the

closest distance and back to infinity (∞) three times before each shot. The

same operation follows for the next shot.
