Canon Basic

Post by Adalbert »

Hello everybody,

Does anybody know what TotalSW2 means?
I have just read the data from my M6M2 and I can't interpret this value.

But the following values are clear:
TotalShoot = number of all shots (fully electronic included)
TotalShutter = number of mechanical shots

BTW, I have found some errors in the XML file regarding BatTemperature=37 degrees :-(

Best,
ADi

No idea what it means but how'd you get to this data? I have the same camera, BTW.

Thanks
