No, no I meant the batteries of the FE/FE2 were functioning normally but the batteries in my flash froze up. Bear in mind that both of these cameras are fully electronic, which means that they will not function at all without batteries (except for a single shuttle speed of 1/90 and 1/250 respectively). If the LR44s in these 2 cameras were functioning at the above mentioned temperatures then they should do so in the FM2.
