Operating temperature for 400D

[ShiNn]

is it ok to operate the EOS 400D under the temperature of -10deg and above the altitude of 4000feet ?

have used it above 4000m with ice/snow all around and a glacier in the mountains (dunno the height). seemed to work fine. not too sure of the temperature though.

im looking at temperature around -20 degrees. im not sure whether is there any effect to the camera and the pictures taken.

I think the first thing that would stop functioning is the battery.

Heard from a friend that if this were to happen, keep the camera under your jacket until the temperature rises back to the norm. temperature then use again.
