Some trouble with my Fuji

[cserdan]

Hi all!
Let me tell a story about my little Fuji S-602.
We (me & my girl) walk with our dog every night at the same place, and I found interesting to take some pics of that street. So one day I decided to take the camera with me. I took a leg with myself too. After the walk I asked my girlfriend to help me set the things up. We did it, so I could start shooting. Okay camera on, settings ok, lets take a picture. I pushed the button, but then the LCD was out, and I heard some noise like screaming from the camera, and then I couldnt turn it off. I put the batteries out, then in. After that I turned the camera on to try it again, with the same result. After putting the batteries in again, I could turn the camera off (it pulled the objective in thank god). Got home quickly (or I could say some redlights and cops later), trying to take a pic, and I could shoot a great one, of my wall.
I heard that an extreme low temperature could couse damages, but -2 celsius. How will I shoot snowy landscapes? I hate winter, my only happynes was to shoot some snowy things [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
