Thanks, Christine. I'm not holding out much hope for the video producing any decent stills. My husband was sort of pointing the k-01 in the general direction of the track, from 12 rows up in the bleachers, all while yelling himself hoarse. But, I'll check.

Good to hear about the video backup--depending on the video processing software you use, you may be able to make stills from some of the video footage. I think you can make stills from iMovie--I'm speaking off the top of my head, so maybe not; I haven't used iMove much--actually only once and that was a while ago. I bet Cotty could offer some suggestions of making stills from video. Cheers, Christine On Jun 16, 2013, at 11:26 AM, Christine Nielsen <ch...@inielsen.net> wrote: > > It happened at a bad time, too.
