Re: *istD Image Count Question

My understanding is that one of the PF functions maintains the number of 
exposures until the lithium battery on the bottom needs replacing.

Subject: *istD Image Count Question


It has been mentioned here before that there is an internal counter
that would indicate the actual number of shutter cycles/images taken
with the *istD.  Seeing how I have two bodies and both have cycled
past the 10K mark, I am quite curious to know the exact count on each.
I found shortly after getting my second body that keeping any
consecutive numbering scheme was going to be problematic, so both
bodies reset the image numbering to 1 for each fresh card.  I rename
them for the based on the job as they are imported into the computer.
So does anyone actually know how to get the shutter cycle count from
an *istD?
Thanks,
Bruce
