TR - The Gallatin on a snowy day

if it IS the cold affecting the batteries (and that certainly does happen),
next time try pulling the batteries out and holding them in your pocket for
awhile. some camera manufacturers who offer a wide range of accessories for
their cameras (i'm only familiar with the major brands which cater to
pros/canon/nikon) offer battery packs which can be kept in pockets with a
long cord leading to the camera's battery chamber for just this reason. i
think minolta and pentax also offer a wide range of accessories which might
include such a gizmo. but again, i'm only somewhat familiar with
professional camera systems which use the traditional 35mm SLR body style
with interchangeable lenses.

Warren, It's indeed great to get out even if it's snowing midges. I
wonder if the problem with the camera was that the batteries were cold.
Sometimes the cold can make the batteries act as if they are drained,
and then when warmed up they come back to life. Lithium batteries
exhibit very little of that problem.

Keep on fishing,

Chas
