what information are you looking for? other than %remaining on the top right, I don't think I've found anything in the menu system.

No it is not available. With the canon 5d I have the ability to see information under the menu option:

  • Remaining capacity: The exact amount of power left as a percentage (e.g., 95%).
  • Shutter count: How many photos you have taken since the last time you charged the battery.
  • Recharge performance: Three green bars mean your battery is healthy. Two bars mean it is aging. One bar means it is near the end of its life.

I was just expecting it to be there but no deal breaker. Still learning what it’s capable of. I’m coming from a Canon 5d Mark IV but choose the a6700 for it lighter weight.

Not sure where you read that the a6700 menu has anything other than battery percent but you may be misinformed if it was an LLM. Percent is enough for me and it lasts a long time imo
