  21.     I think the big loss would be the frame counter.  The other settings
  22.     can be restored by the user.

  24. Most of the info isn't really vital, but it remembers basically
  25. all of the settings that in an old-fashioned camera would have 
  26. been set with mechanical instead of electronic controls.  This
  27. includes exposure mode, shutter speed (if needed), film speed,
  28. etc. etc.
