kodak play sport camera and extreme cold water?

Cheryl

Just received my camera today, and figure the first time I can use it underwater would be at my city's annual polar bear swim. For those not in the know, They basically cut a hole in the ice, and in you hop. I know the camera is waterproof to a certain extent, but was wondering if extremely cold water would somehow damage it. I know its a silly question, but I'm not well educated in cameras!

Answer
Ok thats cold.

Most cameras dont like very cold or hot temperatures. forget the hot, cold causes components to contract, I am not sure if it would be enough to let the cameras seals leak! there is no information on the website, look in the handbook.

Cold apart from the above, it will seriously reduce the battery life, batteries are different so how much is a suck it and see. maybe try it in a bucket with ice and water. and see if it effect the battery.

two places to try first

1 your handbook

2 contact customer support.
