    Thanks, Jack and it works!! Is it possible to check G1 as well?

      Danny Chan Not sure! still looking for a manual!

      Danny. I believe it might be the same process. At least it should be for the last four digits. I checked on my friend's G1 and rather than using the focus dial, you use the DRIVE and ISO buttons

      For anyone looking this up: it's the same process. After entering the hidden menu, you have to click the "Drive" button a few times, until the Shutter display (right side) shows you 08 and 09. On the left LCD you can then read the shutter count. You're welcome ;)

    Very informative video, thank you! I recently bought a Contax G2 kit with the body, 45mm lens and the TLA 200 flash. I'm looking for a sturdy camera bag on the smaller side with nice padding that I could fit the camera in with the mounted lens, the flash, as well as some rolls of film. Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks man! Do you know what is considered a "large" amount of shutters for the G2 ? Im at 17,295.

    Is there any more information anywhere as to what the other parts of this menu are? Lots of different numbers to scroll through just to get to the shutter count, I wonder what they all mean. Can't find anyone else talking about this "manual adjustment mode"

    very cool just found out the minty G2 i found in Japan has 851 shutter count

  • @bumi5178

    Mine says FF on the Adjustment Item 09. What does this mean ? Does it say 00 when the total shutter count is below 10000 ? I have looked up the repair manual and it doesn't mention this.

    Hi Jack! Any idea about why my G2 shows the distance at wich is focusing when I try to see the total shout count? It seems that I can´t access the adjustment mode I, but there's no problem with the adjustment mode II

    • @dchristianrobert

      This was happening to me too and he didn't mention it in the video but the Focus Mode Dial on the back needs to be set to CAF.

    These camera are intriguing to me. I nearly bought a G1, but I decided to hold off for the right deal on a G2. Thanks for making videos like this.

    I just tried this with my G2 that just purchased hours ago but I noticed that now the shutter isn’t firing. Is this somehow related?

      This link should explain. It's the full service manual of the camera. Please be careful in the menus though, it's easy to mess with AF adjustments
