What is the life of the various batteries that are compatible with the ZR70MC?

• These times vary. The safest policy is always to have 2 or 3 times as many battery packs as you think you will need.

• You will get more recording time if you turn the camcorder off between shots, instead of leaving it in record pause mode.

• Charge the battery pack in temperatures between 50^oF and 86^oF (10^oC and 30^oC).

• The charging time varies depending on the charging conditions.

* Typical Recording Time: Approximate times for recording with repeated operations such as start/stop, zooming and power on/off. The actual time may be shorter.

• You can use the battery pack between 32^oF and 104^oF (0^oC to 40^oC), but it works best between 50^oF and 86^oF (10^oC to 30^oC). Operating time will be shorter than usual at low temperatures like a ski ground. For better operating results, the battery pack can be warmed in your pocket before using.

• If the battery pack starts to give you much less operating time than usual (at normal temperatures), it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.

• These figures show how long you can view playback with the LCD, after attaching a fully-charged battery pack. Playback time will be shortened at low temperatures.
