Kevin, Is this a hypothetical situation, or did it happen? As a news cameraman, I am also a trained first-aider, and my first obligation would be to help in a rescue situation. This will possibly be at the detriment of my shots for the tv news, but I made the decision long ago as to what was more important to me. Having said that, most of the situations I encounter have not been at a 'critical' phase, and I have chanced across situations where there are already plenty of folk helping out, in which case I get my camera out and start shooting. In a stills capacity (hypothetically, as I do not shoot still professionally) I would see no reason to change my stance. .02 pence Cotty _______________________________________________________ Personal email traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MacAds traffic to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check out the UK Macintosh ads http://www.macads.co.uk - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
