Hi..

 

I bought an M8u recently. The seller told me it had the upgrade and they changed the shutter too. I have the upgrade proof and all.. but I was wondering if they reset the shutter count? He told me not but I'm not sure..

 

How long does the shutter last from the M8u?

 

thanks

As far as I know they do not reset the shutter count during shutter repair/change. My M8 had shutter repair and the shutter count was not touched.

Thanks. He said most clicks were before the shutter change.. I'd like to know how many i have now.

 

Simple.

 

Get the free program called M8 Info.

Take one of your first pictures and drag (raw file) into the program.

Then take the last photo and do the same.

Subtract the first number from the second.

 

Simpler.

 

Look at the file numbers from when you got it until now.

 

In the alternative:

 

If you know the shutter count when you got the camera you can access the hidden menu to see how many you put on it.

The shutter count is not very relevant for the state of the camera, unless it is extremely high, say in the many tens of thousands. The way the camera has been used, as shown by its general appearance, gives a better indication.

You can also see the shuttercount by doing a hex>decimal conversion of the image 'serial number' I'm not sure how this can be found on a Windows based machine.
