For the 1 series, there is a utility from Canon (cancount) that will tell you the number of shutter actuations. Besides rolling the counter over, you can reset the image number unintentionally by using a card from another camera (it will start using that number) or by simply resetting the counter in the menu or even by telling the camera to start renumbering every time you format the card. tomp * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
