Fujifilm XT3 Battery Life
When in use, the Fujifilm XT3 camera offers to you 390 shots on just a single charge. The number of shots that it provides is based according to CIPA standards, meanwhile, Nikon claims that it can deliver 400 shots.
When this camera is used for videos, it allows you to record for approximately 25-30 minutes.
Considering the fact that it is a mirrorless camera the number may be between 350-400, which is normal.
What Type of Battery Does Fujifilm XT3 Use?
In order to bring the number of shots that I mentioned above, this camera uses a battery. It is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and it is the Fujifilm’s NP-W126S battery.

It is one of the most used batteries that come from the Fujifilm brand, and it works with the Fujifilm X series of cameras.
How to Improve the Battery Life of Fujifilm XT3?
Even though there are many things that you can do to improve the battery life of any camera, I’ve chosen some of the most important things regarding the Fujifilm XT3.
Turn Off the Instant Preview
I am well aware that everybody loves to see what the picture that they took looks like. Anyways, you should know that those instant previews that last for about 1 second, drain the battery life.
To avoid it, you can go to the settings of the camera and turn it off.
Do Not Use Too Much Autofocus
The autofocus on this camera is very fast and very accurate. However, since on the Fujifilm XT3 camera is added an autofocus system, it needs power and the power is fully taken by the battery that it works with.
It would be better if you use the autofocus only when needed.
Use a Battery Grip
Battery Grips are one of the best things that are used in the improvement of the battery life, in any type of camera. Therefore, when noticing that the battery life on your Fujifilm XT3 has started to go down faster, I would recommend you to buy a battery grip.
The battery grip adds two more batteries to the camera so that you don’t have to worry about changing them during the day.
