jevidon Posted February 16, 2016 Share #1 Â Posted February 16, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know how to access the number of shutter actuation's on my M9P, but how do I do so on my Leica T? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Hi jevidon, Take a look here Leica T shutter actuations?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bencoyote Posted February 16, 2016 Share #2  Posted February 16, 2016 We have discussed this with the M240 and also I believe with the T. It appears like the current Leica firmware doesn't encode this in an accessible way.  One thing that I pointed out is people who are generally looking for shutter activations are trying to use it as a proxy something like the age of the camera in much the same way that miles are used on a car. With a digital camera like the Leica T does that end up being a reasonable way to quantify the condition of the camera? True the shutter is one of the few moving parts within the camera and unlike solid state components, it will conceivably age but is that really something which is expected to age out? If the useful life of a shutter is 150,000 activations (something reasonable given the published numbers for other lesser cameras) and you take 1500 shots/month the shutter would last over 8 years.  Therefore I would say that the age or value of the camera really has more to do with some sort of function that has to do with: is this the current model how long has it been since it was released and the electronic generation of the sensor/processor combo in relation to the current state of the art how soon until the next generation is likely to be released cosmetic condition any functional problems In that calculation functional wear including something like the number of shutter activations is not really a factor which may be why Leica obfuscates it. The camera is going to be technologically obsolete long before the shutter wears out except for the rare case where someone uses it extraordinarily heavily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted February 16, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted February 16, 2016 Excellent summation Ben, right on the money. I tend to take more note of the cosmetic condition than anything. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevidon Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share #4 Â Posted February 17, 2016 Bencoyote, Â So, the answer is no. That's all I need to know. The other part od your answer goes for any camera, other things being equal. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
