Hey, this is Scott of Photography Banzai. Today we're gonna try the cameras out in
15 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't know what that is in Celsius, but you get the idea.
I'm going to take them out. I have the M50 and the M100 with the 22mm lens.
So probably not doing this too long. Because it's a little dangerous, but I do try to
come prepared. The main thing is to cover the face. So I got these glasses and I'm
gonna be blind for the most part because I don't want to use my actual glasses.
They fog up, you know. And anyways let's get started...
I can't see anything with them...
Alright so the glasses aren't gonna work out, but I think.. I think.. it's fine.
We'll see...
So far they're working. You know, the battery would be the main thing.
One of the issues is that touch screens with freezing cold weather not a good
thing. Especially with gloves that don't function...
My hands are already getting frozen, so I think that's about it. The main issue
with these cameras is that they're heavily reliant on touchscreens. Now, if
you have the right gloves it would be fine. I have some gloves with the touch
capability, but they're thin. So that complicates the matter. I should have
worn two, like multiple pairs of these. But once you set your camera up you can
do some type of, you know, just click.. point-and-click type of thing. Do some
recomp.. re-composition and all of that. But I'm gonna ge.. give it one more
shot. Once I, ahh, get my one hand a little warmer.
So keep going a little bit. Just a little bit more...
Alright, we're at the second spot. My hand warmed up, I think enough.
I'm gonna try to switch out these gloves so this is on outside of
something thicker. Alright, we have the three pairs of gloves. Got the fingerless
gloves, thick gloves, and also the touchscreen gloves. I will say please do
not do something like this without being very serious about it. Being very careful,
and only doing it for a short amount of time. That's the most important thing is
a very short amount of time. And you want all of your skin covered. Very
important. Probably want to remove any type of metal from any type of skin so
I'll just leave my glasses in here. But you get the idea. It's a serious serious
business. And this is probably the coldest on record of this area ever. So
the first battery in the M50 already was blinking red. So things to keep in
mind when you're trying to do anything in very extreme cold. Batteries are gonna
die quick. I have one left, I think I might have a second one. It's a third
party.. I'm not sure if I brought it. But we'll see how long this one lasts.
Let's take a few more photos...
Okay.. my.. I can feel a little bit of tingling in the hands. That probably
means it's time to go. Actually, my feet are the worst ones, but really not.. not
too bad so far.
Now, I think the touchscreen can kind of work with these
but it's just not good enough to be useful. So that's about it for this quick video.
Again, batteries don't last too long.
You won't last too long.
Layers are your friend.
Alright that's it for this video. Hope you enjoyed it. Again, be very
careful in situations like this with extremely cold weather. It's -16 F
at the moment, Fahrenheit. And I think it went alright. The cameras are still
working, currently. I need to get this in the bag soon, so it doesn't get liquid
condensing inside or whatever. But
I do think worked out right. Again, be cautious
about situations like this. This is the coldest temperature here ever recorded.
And I thought it would be interesting just to get out here...
And just take a few photos. Very simple quick things.
To not risk any of my skin or anything like that.
But, ahh, I think it went okay. So again, I hope enjoy this video.
