Shutter count on E-PM2

Good day all.  I have read a few posts about how to get the shutter count on the PEN series of cameras, but that procedure does not seem to apply to the E-PM2 model.  Does anyone know how to get this count on this model?

Thank you in advance!

Tested is on E-PM2 and works:

By following these steps you can check your shutter count as well as a few

other things. Follow these steps:

1. While holding the "Menu" button, press Power button to switch on

2. Press "Menu" and go to "Monitor brightness adjustment" screen

3. Press "Info" and "OK" button at same time, you will see the screen

showing "Olympus"

4. Press the following buttons in the sequence: Up, Down, Left, Right

and then press the Shutter, followed by Up (dial button in my E-P2)

5. Engineering mode page is seen. Press dial button to Page 1, 2, 3, and "D".

6. Shutter count is on "Page 2" under "R".

The other lines on the screen mean:

R: shutter release count

S: flash use count

C: CMOS cleaning mode (with mirror lock-up - in E-410 series)

U: number of ultrasonic dedusting, ~ number of power switch on

V: number of use of LiveView

B: number of shot using In-Body Stablization

Please be careful when doing this. Although it's probably perfectly safe to

do this i hold no responsibility if you mess up your Pen.

It's the LCD adjustment item in the setup (wrench) menu, anyway, see my page for the same instructions, it may help. http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~parsog/olyepl1/12-epl1-shotcount.html
