My K-5 arrived today

It's silly though to reset them to 0. All cameras should go through testing first to be sure they are working correctly. A standard 200 shots should be taken.

The red K-R was also at 0.

I LIKE that mine was at 0. That way I know, exactly how many times *I've* pressed the shutter release.

My K-5 also started at 0

Or maybe they no longer test them :-)
