Low Temperature Performance Tips
-
The battery life and video recording performance of the camera are reduced at low temperatures. If the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the battery may not provide enough power for the camera to record video, and the camera may turn off.
-
You can improve the camera's battery life and video recording performance in low temperatures by storing the camera battery at room temperature until you are ready to use it. If the battery is at room temperature when you start recording, heat generated by the camera operation prevents the battery from becoming too cold, and the camera operates and records video in temperatures as low as -20°C (-4° F).
-
You can store the battery indoors, in a heated vehicle, or in an empty, interior clothing pocket to keep it at room temperature. If the camera turns off due to a cold battery, you can place the battery in an empty pocket or in a room-temperature environment to warm it.
Do not place the battery in a pocket with other objects, especially sharp or metal objects. Other objects may damage the battery and may present a risk of damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.
-
If you turn off the camera for a long period of time in a low-temperature environment, you should remove the battery and keep it at room temperature until you are ready to use the camera again.
