I just discovered the sequence to go to the service menu on the E-510:
Switch on the camera
Open the card door --> "CARD-COVER OPEN" message on LCD
Press the "OK" and "MENU" buttons simultaneously --> "Olympus E-510" message on LCD
Press "North", "South", "West", and "East" in a sequence
Press the "shutter button" once for 2 seconds.
Press "North" --> "PAGE 1" with parameters; "B", "U", "C", "A", "L", "F", and "M"
Press "WEST"--> "PAGE 2" with parameters; "R", "S", "C", "U", "V", "B", and "L"
Press "SOUTH"--> "PAGE 3" with parameters; "CS" and "MCS"
Press "WEST"--> parameter "D"
I haven't seen it posted before but if is common knowledge then just ignore this post.
EDIT: I Added the info that the "shutter button" must be pressed a bit longer.
If the parameters are the same as those for the E-500 and E-330, as described in this thread (http://fourthirdsphoto.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=14638&postcount=2), the known meanings should be:
Page 1:
L - lens code
F - flash code
Page 2:
R - counts the number of shutter activations
S - counts the number of times a flash was fired.
C - counts the number of times the mirror has been locked up (cleaning mode).
U - number of times the camera has been turned on (and the ultrasonic wave cleaner activated).
V - counts two operations: [1] number of times the mirror has been locked up in Live View, and [2] number of times the AEL button has been used to auto focus while in Live View
Page 3:
CS - camera serial number
MCS - Is the same as the "Internal Serial Number" recorded in the EXIF data of pictures recorded with the camera. The 16-digit number contains a variety of information. Here is what we understand so far:
Digits 1-4 represent the camera model. 4001 = E-1, 4007 = E-300, 4011 = E-500, 4016 = E-330, and 4046 = E-510.
Digit 5 is the year of manufacture. For example, "3" equals year 2003.
Digits 6-7 represent the month of manufacturer. For example, "06" equals June.See this post (http://fourthirdsphoto.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=14638&postcount=2) for further speculations about the unknown parameters and olther camera models.
Cheers, Jens.
