Hi folks,

I bought my HMC-151e around May time and have used it for 6 main shoots so far and probably all in all approx I would estimate about 200 hours of operating time.

At a shoot this weekend I was going through the menu when I looked at the operation time in 'other functions' and the figure was 18661h - I was a bit baffled by this, there is no way it's been used in this amount if the 'h' stands for hours.

I was just wanted to check with other HMC151 and 150 users whether they have found similar odd readings or whether I am alone in this and have to take it up with the company that sold me the kit.

The manual says the Operation time - 'Displays the power-on-time - should be a 5digit figure' so perhaps the h doesnt stand for hours as if you have used it for say 10 or 20 hours it would still have to show up as a 5 digit value???

Anyways I'm quite confused if anyone could shed some light or offer any feedback that should ease my mind it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Matty

That's obviously an impossible # of hours.
