Now, 7 could mean 2017 (the pen-F was released Jan 2016). In this link, you can find explanations what the EXIF tags mean for Olympus cameras: įor the 16 digit internal serial number, it says: 0-3=model, 4=year, 5-6=month, 8-12=unit numberįor my Pen-F, this decodes to year=7, month=61 Including the internal camera serial number: In this link, you can simply drop one of your photos, and it will list the EXIF data for you. Do you know how this can be done for Olympus cameras? both my old (German market) E-5 start with 'AB150' while Japanese market ones start with 'AAY50', US ones with 'AB050'.Įasy to see when checking ebay offers from different countries (at least as long as the seller also shows a picture of the bottom side of the camera with that serial number).Īn EXIF tool will give you the camera serial number, as well as the camera internal serial number, and the lens serial number and flash serial number.įor some camera makers, it is possible to decode the manufacturing date from the internal serial number. "I just checked my EXIF viewer which is PhotoMe and on the E-M1 + 12-40 - all that information you mentioned is there on the unprocessed RAW file not to mention things like Internal Serial Numbers which includes the model, year, month, unit number and place of manufacture."Ībout the serial numbers of camera bodies: The first digits tell something about the market in which these cameras are meant to be sold, e.g. Maybe you find this info via a good EXIF viewer, as mentioned here: Įasy with panasonic, they code the year, and month into the S/N but do Oly ? EG:- all the 12-40s I`ve seen have started with AC ( such as a used one at Harrison cameras with a S.N of AC5301012) - all the others i`ve seen have been in the AC520, 530, 531 region. Has anyone figured out how to tell the age of an Olympus M43 lens from the serial number ?.
