Re: [OM] Anyone know how to read the shutter count on an E-M5?

[Chuck Norcutt]

The link Larry gave tells how to get to the data pages but doesn't say 
anything about which item is actually the shutter count or mechanical 
vs. electronic. The items simply have single character names.  The top 
row is "R" with value 2850.  The bottom row is "B" with value 2838. 
Both of those values are close to my guesstimate of 2800 but I don't 
know which is which.  Not to worry.  It doesn't matter much.  The 
shutter is at less than 3% of its design life which is the important info.
