It remembers which frame you are on when the CR2 battys are changed, so there must be some 'non-volatile' memory. No reason why exposure data, and in fact film number and PFs couldn't be part of this. I am not convinced I lost my PFs either - I will check tonight. I could care less about the film number, but the PFs and exposure info should be kept...
