Re: RIP - JoJo passed away last Thursday evening.

Thank for all your kind comments :) I'm late to respond since I tried to do many things but thinking to much about the rat (cleaning desk and whatever other boring stuff). I'm happy you like the picture. That's something I'm somewhat proud of, not the picture in itself (well, I bit to be honest) b

Re: K20D repair

It depends on what has to be done. If it's just an adjustment then the counter is not likely to be set backwards and can only increment. If it's something major then the counter will be set to whatever the last file on what ever card is used to test the camera is. If it happens to be low...
