How many Clicks on your digital M-Body ??

There isn't a picture numbering on the M9. I don't get this. Before the firmware update I did a week ago, my number was continuous and I was sure, as with most cameras, I could restart with each card or keep it going. In my work I always want continuous number for references to clients. This is frustrating. I looked in the manual but I can't find anything. I even did a search on the web.

I must be missing something.

Where do you get how many shots have been taken? I can see by continuous numbering but with the latest firmware on the M9 it started all over at 1, which isn't what I wanted.

Find your last photograph in Bridge and in the EXIF data there is a line called 'Image Unique ID'. This represents the total shutter counts for the camera irrespective of the file numbering system. Take the last figures and/or letters (no need for all the zero's) and put this into a hexadecimal to decimal converter like this one

the resulting figure in decimal is how many shots you have done.


Mine is 17,561 with my M9 in 24 months.

My M9p arrived 15 days ago and I am already at almost 1,000 pics. I'm finding that my love for the rangefinder has grown even more, and I am out taking pictures on a daily basis. My hard drives are not happy, however.
