Hello,
When I was last winter in Poland, to take pictures of wolves and bears, I
had more or less the same
experience with my R8-camera. (no DMR, just film):
The display on the cameraback quit working at minus 5 C. I suppose the
liquid crystals were frozen....
The display in the viewfinder worked perfectly at this temperature.
At -10 C / -17C the camera acted very slow, but exposures were correct.
Kind regards
Fred Hess
