Subject: [Leica] M7 and battery life in cold weather

I dusted off my M7 and went out shooting today. Toward the end of the first
roll of film the batteries dies. I replaced them and all went well. I didn't
think I had put that many rolls thru it, but I haven't used it for awhile,
so...

I went back out tonight to get some night shots of my churches construction
project and after about 5 minutes outside in 28 deg F weather the right
arrow started blinking in the viewfinder. The camera was set to Auto. The
blinking right arrow indicates the batteries are getting low, I do believe.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem in cold weather? (OK, I know
28 deg F is not that cold for our Canadian friends. You guys are somewhere
near Iceland, right?)

Thanks,
Doug
