Cold temperatures
« on: March 19, 2007, 05:48:03 AM »
I've had problems that arise I supect from the sub zero temperatures. Overexposed mostly. Any suggestions. Keeping the camera in your coat is great unless you want to take more than a couple of photos.

I once lost all the photos from my most awesome backpacking trip when the 35 mm film shattered from the sub-zero temps. I've found most of my digital cameras experience focusing problems when subjected to extremely cold weather.
When camping in cold weather I've started keeping my camera inside my sleeping bag with me at night. When taking photos during the day I put the strap around my neck so I can carry the camera down inside my jacket.

Be aware that LCD screens will freeze.  The LIQUID in a liquid crystal display will crystalize in freezing weather and can't be repaired, only replaced.  I saw this from time to time in laptop computers when I was a technician.

What type of camera were you using?

I have shot snowmobile races in sub-zero weather with few problems.
