Just did a couple of days of shooting up in the mountains. Thanks to everyone for all the advice. For the most part everything went smoothly, though there was a bit of fogging when I brought the camera inside. Fortunately it was limited to the filters and didn't make its way to the lens. The hand warmers were also a huge help since it dipped to about -10C for some of the shooting time. Thanks again for all the help -damir

Hi, I'm a student filmaker working on a documentary thesis over the winter break. Much of it will be shot in Bosnia, with several of the days commited to shooting in the mountains. The temperature here tends to be around 0C, and it will probably dip below that for a significant portion of the time. I'm a little worried about shooting at such low temperatures. I own a Sony Z7U and the manual suggests to operate it above 7C. I'm wondering how serious of a concern this is, and what I should look out for in case I decide to shoot in this climate. I understand condensation could freeze and cause issues, but how realistic of a problem is this? If anyone has advice on this, I would greatly apreciate it. What kind of things should I be cocnerned about, and what can I do to protect my camera as best as possible? Thanks -damir
