Gday everyone, im in Australia and ive been asked to travel with a group of pro skiiers and boarders in August and document their trip.
I'm looking at using the PDX10, but im after some advice in lens choice, shutters, white bal, and battery life.

I understand the batt's may not last as long at ~0°C (32F). Correct?
Should I white balance to the snow itself? or still to cardboard or paper?
For fast action (possibly skiing alongside the subject), should I use a shutter? what speed?
And it would be easier to use a wideangle lens for these shots?

Thanks in advance
