ErikP Posted May 14, 2013 Share #41 Posted May 14, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) If the M9 symbol is on the dock, just doubleclic on the symbol. Then an empty " card " show itself on the desktop. Drag a DNG from you M9 files into the " card " it will everything you want to know. Does the software also work for M8 DNG files?

satijntje Posted May 14, 2013 Share #43 Posted May 14, 2013 With the M8, you do not need a program as you can read the number from the camera by; Turn the camera on. Press the right arrow key 4 times. Press the left arrow key 3 times. Press the right arrow key 1 more time. Press the info button. Scroll down to body debug data. Press Set. Scroll down to NUMEXPOSURES. Turn camera off to exit John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overgaard Posted May 14, 2013 Share #47 Posted May 14, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had a dead pixel on the display (that I did not notice) why Leica changed the display. They also changed the sensor at one point as there was a small crack in it (not noticeable). I guess someone who produced the sensors pay for changing them if they crack. I had the crack for half a year before I had time to leave the camera at Leica for some days so they had time to change it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobitybob Posted May 14, 2013 Share #54 Posted May 14, 2013 As far as I know, You don't need any special program to determin the actuations on a M8 or M9, as long as you can get the unique image number from the EXIF. I'm not sure about a PC, but on a Mac if you open an image in Preview, and then using it's Inspector, choose EXIF and copy the unique number. It's in hexadecimal and will be lot of zeros followed by numbers and letters. Open Safari and Google for a hexadecimal converter. Copy this number into it and it will conver it into a decimal, which is the number of actuations. Hope that's helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWC Doppel Posted May 15, 2013 Share #56 Posted May 15, 2013 This is all very good news, My M9-P is now just under 9k actuations and I plan on keeping it for a good while yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imperfiction Posted May 16, 2013 Share #58 Posted May 16, 2013 My M9 has close to 50,000 activations. Has been to Leica only twice for rangefinder calibration. No other problems over the course of the 2,5 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Doppel Posted June 4, 2016 Share #59 Posted June 4, 2016 I wonder how things are going now with shutter actuations ? I'm still relatively low at 25k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 6, 2016 Share #60 Posted June 6, 2016 For what it's worth I spoke with someone well-situated in the Leica world who is currently at around 330,000 actuations on his M9... As I'm way down the pole at a mere 57k I'm feeling quite relaxed about the situation. Pip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
