I just got my new EX3, and for grins and giggles I checked the hours meter, because when a friend bought his it turned out to be a floor demo. I was relieved to see there were no hours on the meter; but then I noticed the user can reset it.

So what's the point of having a meter?

There are actually 2 meters; the "Total" one is not user-resettable.

The user reset is very handy, i use it all the time when my camera goes out on rentals.

Aha! I see that, now. Very cool. Thanks.
