Re: Shutter Count not working

Works for me as usual on E-M1 MkII Firmware 2.0

Re: Shutter Count not working

Thanks,
I am on 2.1 so not sure whats going on.

Re: Shutter Count not working

The only difference I noticed was that 'R' on Page 2 seems to have been replaced with 'MS', which I'm guessing means Mechanical Shutter release count.

I've occasionally had difficulty in accessing these menus in the past. I don't know if timing matters when entering the sequence but it might be worth giving it a few more tries.

I shall hold off 2.1 until someone else responds

Re: Shutter Count not working

Its worked in the past thats why I am concerned.

It might be just timing.

I will wait and see if someone else can confirm it works on 2.1.

Re: Shutter Count not working

Here are the instructions I have, they work:

Check system information
- Camera OFF
- Hold down MENU button and turn ON the camera
- Release MENU button and press MENU again to get to Menus
- Go to LCD Brightness Menu, that's in Spanner Menu, fourth item down.
- Press RIGHT to show screen adjusters.
- Press INFO then OK. (Note this changes the screen.)
- The E-M1 II shows:
-- E-M1MarkII
-- 03 01 01 01
- Press in sequence UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/SHUTTER/UP and Page 1 info appears
- Press RIGHT for Page 2, DOWN for Page 3, LEFT for Page 4 and UP again to get Page 1

Page 2 shows:
MS 5181 [mechanical shutter count]
S 00007 [shot count with flash]
C 000000
U 000177 [turn on count which is ultrasonic wave cleaner count]
V 000000
B 000123 [seems to be total number of times shutter button is fully pressed for any reason]
L 000000

Page 3 shows:
CS: the serial number

On Page 4 is D:
Damage code log, blank is good.

Here are the instructions I have, they work:

What firmware revision do you have?

Re: Shutter Count not working

Thanks Growltiger. Thats the same as I posted. What level of firmware are you on?

Re: Shutter Count not working

It worked for me using firmware version 2.1. It failed the first time but I repeated it, pressing the arrow buttons more quickly at step 7 and it worked. My mechanical shutter count is 3715 (barely run in.)

Re: Shutter Count not working

2.1

Did you get to where it says:
E-M1MarkII
03 01 01 01

If you can see that, and the instructions that followed didn't work, try them again until they do work.

- Press in sequence UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/SHUTTER/UP and Page 1 info appears
- Press RIGHT for Page 2, DOWN for Page 3, LEFT for Page 4 and UP again to get Page 1

I just did it, and had to do the Up/Down stuff twice.
My MS (Mechanical shutter) is 6402.

This is driving me crazy. I can get to where it says

E-M1MarkII
03 01 01 01

After that it just sits there .
I just tried a full factory reset and still no joy.

Re: Shutter Count not working

I found with my Mk 1 that, if I lingered too long on each button press to check what came next, it didn't always work. I found it was better if I rehearsed the actions and then pressed the buttons smoothly and quickly without any pausing between presses. It's probably nothing to do with that but it might be worth a try.

Re: Shutter Count not working

Just checked mine. Works OK 3146 mechanical shutter, and no page 4, which I assume is good...................

(PS I use the Electronic shutter almost exclusively)

Try the instructions from that point on more than once until it works. Press the buttons with your fingernail to make sure you get a certain single click. It will work if you keep trying.

Re: Shutter Count not working

I had the same problem with my Mk1. I just couldn't get it to work. I must have tried dozens of times over about a year before all of a sudden it started to work. never did anything different as far as I was aware. After that I can't be bothered to try my Mk2 sorry.
