Hi, once upon a time I was found in my Canon digital camera some data about when it was dropped on the floor or when it suffered a shock or impact. I can not remember did I found some combination by pressing keys or I read it from some settings in CHDK. I remember that I found exactly date when my four years daughter dropped camera. Can anyone help me to find that secret logs in camera?

The version screen described in http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Q._How_can_I_get_the_original_firmware_version_number_of_my_camera.3F usually contains the most recent errors and the time they occurred.

Don't forget what the H stands for.

Thank you, I already have vers.req which btw contains next text

I've got three "screens"

Firmware version and date
Adj ver and ZoomLensError with exactly date
