1. Remove SD card
2. make sure cam is OFF
3. set the cam to record mode(camera/play slider on the up position), make sure the dial is in P(program) mode.
4. press and hold ^ on the dpad and the focus key while turning the cam on
5. the cam will turn on like normal
6. press and hold < and middle button on the dpad and hit the focus button
7. repeat a few times until you get to the info screen below

Camera Info
Ver 1.20 : 0000 : 0108 (obviously firmware level followed by ??)
No: xxx (long number displayed, maybe the main board serial number?)
PWRCNT: 1341 (I guess the number of times camera turned on, seems about right and does increment after each turn on/off)
SHTCNT: 4575 (the true camera total shot count, only reset by some internal service operation like replacing parts)
STBCNT: 111 (the flash count, number of shots with flash)
PSVCNT: 1 (number of times the auto power off has actuated)

my cam already have 4000 shutter count in a month! tongue.gif laugh.gif

btw, wonder if they could include AVCHD encoding inside v2.1 whistling.gif

I think the LX3's Venus engine is unable to handle the processing power required to encode in AVCHD. So far I see only Venus HD processors with AVCHD capability. Venus 4 only Motion JPEG at HD resolutions (720).

That's 6 months...

Oh yeah nightstalker, edit instruction 7 to "repeat step 6..." coz i initially thought repeat the whole thing. It wasn't until I realise that pressing other buttons will change the screen full of zeroes to other stuff that I realise how stupid I was.

lol a few checkpoints:

is the dial in P mode?

the focus button is NOT the shutter button. It's smaller one beside the shutter button. I confused that and that costed about 50 PWRCNT.

repeat step 6 when you get to the screen of zeroes, aka '< + MENU/SET, then FOCUS'

ok fine...its my fault then... any1 know how to take pics of waterfall with "live" effect..i tried just now...i tried in manual mode...low shutter speed...but when focusing...the lcd went to white...overexpose...any1 can guide me how...

Sometimes u will need an ND filter. (if the light is too bright that ur smallest aperture still disallow u to set long enough exposure)

Thanks for the heads up as I was about to go there and search as well.

Maybe I will try searching at LYP but if someone can recommend another place besides KL that would definitely be better!

Filters are usually just screwed on the adapter so I guess it just depends on how tight you screw it.

Actually if you plan to get adapter + filter / lens just get the PandaBase ones for forumer laichong. Lotsa LX-3 users here are using that adapter.
