Frage von Daveee:
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to know how consumer cameras (Canon HV30 and co) in the external use in extreme temperatures behave. Especially now this season, where temperatures sometimes between -10 and 0 degrees Celsius commute ... Are there any risks or long-term damage caused by the humidity and the temperature? Official manufacturer information on this topic? Experiences?
Thank you very much

The question comes too soon. We will be in February and travel to Norway this question with three cameras clarify XM 2, HV20 and HS100. We expect with temperatures well below minus 20 degrees ..... let's see what it s.Filmmaterial after the return remains.
Greeting

At -10 degrees and the humidity is less in outdoor use is insignificant. This is only an issue if you put the cam then bring the heat. For heating, it is useful to the Cam draussen in a airtight plastic bag to pack. This will prevent heating when the humidity of the warm interior air to the cold Cam reflected. This is synonymous for the tape cassettes. If the packing is not possible or times have been forgotten, the cam shaft with open cassettes min 1-2 hours to be heated before it is used. As a rule, there is a display of synonymous Cam, because of moisture that they can not switch.
During transport from warm to cold is due to moisture education course no packaging required. But depending on outside temperature should remain Cam heated so that their drive functions are not difficult. In particular, the tape cartridge stay warm, because otherwise the material is brittle and smeared the head drum or the tape breaks. This should include the Cam cassette s.Körper long worn. Big Cams, this is usually not because they are simply too bulky. Then special wrappings necessary to partially synonymous heated electrically or chemically can be. The cartridges can almost always in the pocket sufficiently warm. The same applies for the battery, which when cold very quickly lose their Ladungskapzität.
