Shutter Count

[reverb]

Not sure if anyone can help me here.

I bought a new GR yesterday, and have probably taken around 50 pictures. The shop I bought it from is a little friendly camera store (in town for years), and is not very busy generally. All their stock is on display and, if you want to try something, they let you have a go. This does mean you end up buying something that has been 'used', but nothing to suggest it's been very often. The camera is in perfect condition, and looks like it's just come out of the box.

However, looking at the file numbers on my pictures (which I have not edited at all), the latest one is RO 0020045.jpg. According to the manual, the numbers should start of RO 0010001. How likely I've managed to pick up a camera with 10,000 clicks already taken?

Hi,
For know how many real pics have your GR just switch your dial to "movie" then press together the "disp" button and "play" button. After that, press the flash button above your "disp" button. And you can see the effective shutter count. The GR must be set to off for find your pictures count.
Hope this helps.

Sorry for my bad english.

many thanks. You and one other passed me this. Shows a count of 342, which is a huge relief (I think that's quite normal). I'm just amazed that they have this strange combination - how on earth did you find this out!
