Check Battery Before Departure

Nikon reminds that cold weather may shorten battery life. Before shooting outdoors, make sure the camera battery is fully charged; actual battery life may vary depending on the model, battery, and weather, and this guide does not provide guaranteed temperatures or shot counts.〔G-BATCOLD-01〕

Prepare and Carry Spare Batteries

If you plan to shoot outdoors for an extended period, Nikon recommends carrying one or two spare batteries and keeping them in your jacket pocket if possible. When you need to replace them, follow the instructions in the camera manual. This advice comes from Nikon's winter photography guide and does not imply that all camera batteries have the same model or battery life.〔G-BATCOLD-02〕
