dkmoore Posted November 14, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I noticed that some reputable dealers are starting to note shutter count when selling used M240 cameras. From what I have seen, it is not possible to definitively tell how many shutter actuations a M240 camera has experienced. Is this a sales ploy or is there an actual way to tell how many images have been made? I have owned many digital and analog Leica's and understand this doesn't really matter but I am still very curious! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted November 14, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 14, 2015 Sales ploy. All you can do is get close by photo quantity. Live view adds a bunch without even capturing an image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrödinger's cat Posted November 14, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) As best I can tell, no one has yet determined a way for users to determine actuation count on this body. What they may be doing is quoting a number based on the name of the last image taken, which of course may have been reset by a previous user.

roverover Posted March 4, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2017 Curious, previous to the 240, was there a way to accurately know the Shutter actuation count of earlier Digital M's? Does anyone know of the New M-10 offers shutter count info? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted March 4, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 4, 2017 You could easily access shutter count on both the M8 and M9. A search of this forum will reveal the thread. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted March 4, 2017 Share #6 Posted March 4, 2017 I'm aware the camera stores error logs (I was informed by Leica) so not inconceivable for the shutter count to be stored as well, but only accessible with the appropriate equipment and access. Anyone's guess whether a dealer can do this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
