The manual that came with the camera will give you the safe working temperatures for your particular camera.
Thanks jjjnettie I will take a look at the manual and see when they suggest that the cooking process begins, I guess by then the image quality will be greatly compromised unless I want to submit it for an Abstract Art Exhibition

Hence my decision to build a cooler box for the DSLR, which gives me 8-10 degrees below ambient so far.

Check it out here for my pic using it on the weekend. My chip was reported by Backyard EOS at a stable 4 deg C for a full hour during 5 min subs at ISO 400.

32 deg C is HOT HOT HOT! What was your ambient temp at the time?

Cheers

Thanks Chris, I didn't measure it but it felt like it was about 13C. Great DIY cooler, does it weigh much? Any spares on the assembly line ?
