QUOTE(ProKing @ Nov 3 2009, 12:14 PM) Hi, I'm wondering if I need extra protection or other accessories if I'm planning to bring a local DSLR set to winter conditions at 0 Celsius? Please advise. Thanks You must keep your lithium-ion batteries warm when not in use. Subjecting your lithium-ion batteries to extreme cold weather will cause your battery power to drop drastically. |

May I know, how many pics were you able to take with that battery. Also, what camera are you using?  |

Those lake were frozen, i remembered it was very cold that time and i forgot to bring my glove when i took those pictures. if i'm not mistaken it was -5c with windchill, my fingers were so cold and pain (fingers are the slimmest part among the whole body and 'no' fat to support), for the first time i felt myself why am i torture myself for taking picture. So remember to wear glove to take pictures during winter. Then you must've been very lucky because generally the lithium-ions would discharge itself in sub-zero temps. |
