fantastic I found one in a store where I am, Montreal ;)

do you know how if the NP-F570 L is enough for one day shooting outdoor for the CFV or should I get a 770 L instead ?

thanks!

Raph,

The NP-F570 L provides an average of 2 hours of shooting time and the NP-F770 L approx. 4 hours. I used the CFV and 503CW extensively when it was first released and always carried 2 NP-750 batteries (this model battery was current at the time).

Exactly Paul, I get this warning, but not in the normal use like on my 5 D for instance... To get an idea of the time left with my battery. Maybe I should allways keep with me a spare battery :)

The cameras are different as is how they present the battery status. When you see the battery symbol appear on the CFV display it is time to replace the battery with your spare.
