Before. Read your instruction manual it will tell you about operating temperatures. Could it be that your lens fogged up? We all know the answer to that one.
After you bring it indoors. I think Casey had the same trouble last year and my advice is the same, if your machine gets cold then warm again quickly, you could get condensation on your heads. This will make your tape stick to your heads, and therefore loss of any recoding made because the tape will be wrapped around your heads, and more seriously, the machine will be Kaput, and in need of major attention. So when you have done filming, remove tape before you bring it indoors, then leave the camera for about 1 hour maybe 2 on the safe side to acclimatize. In summary, it was probably not the acclimatizing to cold but the re- acclimatizing back indoors. Hope this helps.
