Using the Camera in Extremely
Cold Conditions
In extremely cold conditions, always
protect the camera from outside air
and try to finish shooting as quickly
as possible.
In temperatures below 0 C (32 F),
the battery may be affected, so you
may want to carry a spare. Keep the
camera and spare battery close to your
body or in a pocket to keep them
warm until you are ready to take
a picture. Although the battery may
not function well in cold conditions,
don’t throw it away. It may work
perfectly
again
when
you
use
the
camera in warmer temperatures.
Avoid
extreme
temperature
changes.
Condensation
forming
on
a
camera
and lens taken from subzero outside
temperatures into a warm room may
cause corrosion. Let the camera grad
ually adjust to the temperature change
by placing it in a completely sealed
plastic bag for a while.
