I tried http://shuttercounter.com/exif.php which didn't work on the GF2, Also tried Opanda and exiftool with no results. They all say no shutter count information could be located. I also tried a pile of online upload sites which didn't show the shutter count data. What gives here? How can I tell how much use a GF2 has had? The seller claims little use but I suspect its been a Taxi.

Help!
 
I tried that method of accessing the service menu, nothing came up. It not help by having fingers like a bunch of banana's. Did Panasonic obscure this shutter count on purpose? I know its easy to pull off a Cannon or Nikon.
 
There is no moving mirror in GH1 so "shutter count" doesn't really matter as much as for Canon/Nikon where each shot wears out the mirror actuation mechanism....
 
This thread made me curious and I found these instructions that work on my GH2: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1041&message=38633171

Interesting to see the stats. Since I bought the camera in January 2011, I've turned it on 1,523 times and activated the shutter 11,491 times. Though since I shoot a lot of video, that number understates how much I use the camera by a lot (a one-hour interview might consist of 1 or 2 shutter presses!).

And I hate using flash and the stats bear that out: I've used it a grand total of...15 times.
