I use focus stacking technique a lot of times. This tehnique requires a lot of pictures taken for one final photo, so I wanted to find out, how many shutter actuations does my Panasonic DMC-G3 have. I couldn't find how to enter into service menu and display that information on G3, after looking to dosen web sites . The information was available for all other Panasonic cameras. Finally, I found the information on one of the german Lumix forums. The right combination is:

• • press combination [ Q.MENU/Fn2 ], [ DISP/Fn1 ] and [ RIGHT KEY ] and POWER ON the camera. Happy finger gymnastic!

  • press combination [ Q.MENU/Fn2 ], [ MENU/SET ] and [ LEFT KEY ] two (2) times.

I found out my G3 has been powered on 896 times (PWRCNT), has 7342 shutter actuations (SHTCNT) and flash has been fired 277 times (STBCNT).
