I've used mine several times in 30 degree F weather and have never had
any problems. Last week however as I was preparing to get out for a
morning of deer hunting, I experienced a cold weather failure. My camera
had been in the truck all night.I went out to start the truck and let it
warm up and noticed that the sun was rising right over the top of a 3000
year old Indian mound that sits across the road from my Dad's house. As
I watched the sun filtering through the tall oaks that sit atop the
mound, something told me a photo op was taking place. Picked the 4T up
out of the bag and set and shot the first frame and that was as far as I
got. The display slowly faded away and the camera was dead. I guess I
got that first shot but haven't had the film developed yet. As I walked
back into the house, the digital thermometer on my Dad's porch was
reading 7 degrees F.
After 15 minutes in a warm truck the 4T was back to normal. Got to keep
those batteries warm if you want it to work.
