TLDR:

From telnet session do:

[root@drime5 ~]# prefman get 3 0x208 l
[sysrw] in memory:

value = 4002 (0x00000fa2)

NX1 users need to use the following command instead as the shutter count is on a different preference number

prefman get 4 0x208 l

Thanks Otto.

Crikey, I have done 14910 :-(

Is there a way to access the value through a script on sd card, eg having it stored on a variable on the card, to be read later from the pc?

Thx.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how are you accessing this stuff? Are these files you insert into the root folder of the memory card? Or do you need to access them directly through the camera like the DEV menu?? Again, sorry if for being ignorant. I am just learning all this stuff as I read it on here. Super cool what you guys are doing and sharing with the community! It is really appreciated!

Sure, just put

prefman get 4 0x208 l >> /mnt/mmc/count.txt

In any of the EV_XY.sh files.

Hi, right now everything is under heavy development and severely lacks nice user interface so a bit of DIY spirit is required.

Easiest way to experiment is to go to github repository and download SD. ZIP file and unpack it to SD card and turn on the camera.

From there, connect to wifi network on camera (and same network on laptop) and click EV and MOBILE buttons together (like EV was a shift button). This will start telnet server on the camera and display IP address on screen for 30s. From PC connect to that address and use username root (no password needed). That's it, now you can run whatever command you want on the camera.

Or wait until I make a nice GUI.

Hi! first of all i want to say a lot thanks to you for spending time for developping and share results with us, really it is very very usefull for us! just one thing is missing for all hacks - nice GUI, as you said before, and we will wait as much as you need to finish your work! Big thanks from russian community! it is very nice that somewhere there is someone like you with nx500 =)

for me the most usefull hacks are silent shutter and 120 frames per second 1080p, really you brought new life in my camera!

Thank you for your kind words, I am working on gui and will probably have something to show next week. I hope
