Keep a spare set of batteries(for camera and flash) in your pants pockets to keep them warm, and use the batteries alternatively.ivan said:Hi all,
Your advice needed
I will be going to Hong Kong in min-Jan, heard that the weather there will be quite cold, wanna check with your that what special cares are needed under cold weather?
Thank you in advance
Madmax said:I do not think HK will be that cold. I subjected my cam to temperatures of 2 deg C - 12 deg C while I was in NZ in Sep. No loss of battery life.
Another way is...keep the cam in your bag which should insulate it. Take out only when you want to take pics.

Can shoot per normal as in singapore.
That kinda temperature difference is small.
I've subject my camera to temperature like 0 deg. using 2 BP-511s at one go can last me 2-3 days, depending on ur shooting style.

last week i just had a fogging encounter in sg.. from my air con vehicle to a rainy outdoor... lens fog...spurssy said:One old trick taught by a veteren photog, esp. critical for large lens (SLRs/DSLRs), when moving from a cold area to a hot area, ensure you at least keep your lens under your jacket, for acclimatisation (not sure if correct term) so that your lens won't fog. Else, it takes a rather long time for the lens to un-fog.
One of my experience, not in taking care of camera but rather taking photo. Don't be surprised your camera (esp. metal bodies) will be so cold that you will have trouble holding your camera (a bit like holding ice cubes) and it will affect your photo-taking. On the other hand, if you're intending to use a glove (to combat the cold), make sure it's not those durian sellers type where it's so thick that you have trouble pressing any buttons.
