Re: Operating camera in low temperature conditions

Most cameras will operate well enough in cold temperatures - but do your best to keep the camera as warm as possible, under your jacket, etc.

It's really the batteries that suffer - cold batteries run down quicker.  So keep your extra betteries inside your jacket as close to your body heat as possible.

I've used my Olympus EPL-5 and OMD EMI in very cold predawn temperatures in Yosemite with no problem.
