Recommendations

• Genuine Canon batteries are best for full performance, accurate battery level display, and safety.
• Third-party options (e.g., K&F Concept, Wasabi, etc.) are popular for spares due to lower cost and often include USB-C charging. Many users report good results, though battery life indicators may be less accurate.
• Consider buying 2–3 batteries total for a full day of shooting, especially for travel, events, or video.
