I went nuts yesterday trying to locate a serial number. Fortunately for me, the invoice included a number and through trial and error, I got the right one. So today I decided to do a search on how to locate a serial number.

"If you cannot locate your serial number
please enter NO SERIAL NUMBER in the serial number field."

So hopefully even without a serial number a user can get the files.

Irfanview shows my serial number in the Exif info of every photo I've taken with this camera.

I have programs (including Irfanview) that show serial number in the Exif of just about all the cameras I own. But I just got a new camera (G3X) without serial number plate and which shows no serial number in the Exif.

I wonder if it is a security issue?  Even so personally I'd expect and prefer to be able to see such information in a menu option on the camera.
