My guess is that there are two issues: * LCD screens perform poorly in cold (become sluggish) and in heat (become black/washed out). * NiMH batteries perform poorly in the cold, worse than Lithium or Lithium-Ion
So in the cold, you might have to change batteries more often and can't depend on the LCD panel to update quickly; in the heat the LCD panel might wash out a bit. Nothing that will damage your camera or degrade your images, but Canon is conservative and likes to give "ideal" working conditions -- i.e., when the camera is working 100%.
