from a manual for a Pentax P3n film body, is one of most comprehensive
statements by Pentax regarding enviromental factors Ive ever seen.
The advice written by Pentax is good to follow and explains common sence.
The battery does deplete faster in temperatures i shot in (often -10 to -15), and i keep a spare inside my jacket close to my body.
But keeping the camera away from the cold i pure bull.
If you go out to shoot in -10, theres a much higher risk of getting problems and damage if juggling the camera betwen cold and warm every time you want to take a picture.
Thats how condense get into things!
*Let the camera and bag cool down to the outside temperature around it. Have a nice time shooting.
