Packed with advanced features, this camera excels in cold environments while delivering high-quality footage. Discover in this article how to get the most out of your Ace Pro 2 to capture spectacular moments on the snowy slopes.

Preparing your equipment

1. Protect the battery : Cold weather can significantly reduce battery life. Keep spare batteries in an inside pocket to keep them warm.
2. Use a suitable memory card : Opt for a microSD UHS-I V30 or higher, capable of operating at low temperatures without compromising performance.
3. Use a protective case : Protect your Ace Pro 2 from shocks and moisture with a compatible case.

Optimal settings for filming at -20°C

1. Active HDR : Activate HDR mode to balance shadows and highlights in blinding snow conditions.
2. Manual exposure adjustment : Adjust the white balance to avoid a blue cast due to snow.
3. Endurance mode : Activate this mode to extend battery life during long shooting sessions.

Filming tips

• Opt for short sequences : Cold weather can accelerate battery depletion. Film in segments to optimize energy use.
• Use a stabilizer : Ensure you capture smooth images despite the vibrations of rapid descents or sudden movements.
• Capture unique details : Focus on powder snow splashes, sunlight reflecting off the ice, or acrobatic maneuvers for spectacular shots.

Maintenance and care after use

1. Let the camera dry : Once inside, let the Ace Pro 2 dry at room temperature to avoid condensation.
2. Clean the lenses : Use a microfiber cloth to remove snow or watermarks without damaging the lens.
