Anyone know the key sequence to enter the M10-R service menu?

A well kept secret 😕
Only Leica and a few dealers know it.
IMO, this should not be integrated in a hidden but in the normal menue.

Why all these secrets? If I buy a camera I want to know what I get.

Because if you start using the service menu you can brick the camera and send it on a six month holiday to Solms. There is nothing for the user there.

It appears the menu only shows information, and as a user (or buyer), I would very much like to know the camera's shutter count and battery status.

But then the camera would need a two part menu,

  1. one public for the owner (like Satijntje holds)
  2. and one (very hard to enter) for dealers to brick the thing .  . 😏

I bought a ‘demo’ but the bottom showed it must have had quite some use. So second-hand?

Shutter count should be something listed under the regular menu in the camera information. 

I understand service menus not for customers. You don't sell cars with a scan tool. Those are for mechanics. But my milage shouldn't only be available to mechanics. 

Information about my camera should be visible to me. All of it. It's just information I'm looking at. There is no reason to hide it from me.

Fine. Let them have access to the menu. And if the camera gets bricked up ,Leica has ZERO liability and if the camera gets sent in to them it goes to the bottom of the incoming repair list.

That's more than a bit harsh..............

Shutter Counter gives an indication of how intense a camera is used.

But we should know hereby if that counter counts the release button actuations (both mechanical and electronic shutter) or only the mechanical shutter

It is meant to be. The chance of someone causing their camera lock up/go out of commission seems rather high. And they will expect Leica to fix it immediately expecting everyone else to get in the queue behind them.

If they want to tinker let them, but not at everyone elses time and expense.

This is a very valid point.  I understand the need for a restricted service menu, but shutter count is just information.  I cannot see any reason why this is kept secret.

Don’t worry, Leica does that to its customers  themselves. M11 lockups come readily to mind amongst a long history of “quirks”.
