Re: Operating camera in low temperature conditions

I agree that the camera would be fine at low temperature, it's the battery that suffers. No permanent damage but it loses charge much faster the colder it is.

The other issue is that when you bring the camera back indoors you may get condensation on it and in it. Generally this is not enough to cause trouble but if possible the equipment should be allowed to warm up to room temperature gradually.
