Thanks Derek. I installed it but I cannot find the shutter count. The program cannot read NEF files so I had to convert to jpeg. Still no shutter count reading.

... Still no shutter count reading.look for the "actuation" instead of shutter count.

doc nka lagay for jpeg lang. :)

doc nka lagay for jpeg lang. :)shoot at jpeg normal then. anyway i only need the shutter count.

Just asking
How will I know the shutter count on my DSLR camera? I have a Nikon D40?
How many shutter counts will there be before you can say that your camera is "Old"?

PJ, if you're using it to get the actuations on a Canon camera I think it wont be possible. i think Canon doesnt post actuations when using 3rd party EXIF viewers

PJ: doesn't work with Canon... :)

Someone posted an article on the Canon Forum on how to get the actuations on a Canon unit. it works on the latest units, you might wanna check that out

Thanks Bryan. Wil start my search for it....:Grin:

PJ: Just search in the Canon subforum about shutter count on 40D

Thanks Bryan. Wil start my search for it....:Grin:

PJ here's the link. http://astrojargon.net/files/misc/40dshuttercount.zip

just paste it into your web browser and unzip the file inside the main directory of your EOS utility.

You may visit the main link http://astrojargon.net/40DShutterCount.aspx to check the compatible units from FAQ.

cheers!

:) Note: only for Canon.

I tried Opanda IExif 2.26 opened the file but I can't seem to find the actuation count. Do you guys have a screen shot on where I can see the actuation count. Another noob question...Thanks!:D

Look for the row with the label TOTAL SHUTTER RELEASES FOR CAMERA

226?? looks very new:)

Yup! just bought my cam a couple of weeks ago. This forums rocks! Thanks again for the info. By the way i read in another thread that there is a limit for the number of shutter actuation, but practice makes perfect so i guess i'll just shoot shoot and shoot! :)

yeah, shutter actuations issue is overrated IMO

Total number of shutter releases for my camera is 270. Could that mean aside from the shots that I took, the camera has been used before?

Most people forget the shots they chimp (deleted in cam) when it comes to counting shutter counts...

Check out this link, works for jpeg & RAW files

someone from our Basic Photography Workshop told us that for Nikon D60, the max actuation for it is 50,000. more than that your D60 is already a junk. is that true? D80-D90, he said it's 200,000.

any idea?

what do you mean?? 50,000 beyond junk?? :Scared:

There's been a similar discussion on this here (http://digitalphotographer.com.ph/forum/showthread.php?t=24005), however the actual number of actuations before a camera "dies" is merely approximation.

There are various other reasons that can lead to the "death" of a camera rather than just using it for what it was built for--which is taking pictures! :D

Exiftool.

This tool has a "shutter count" field that displays this information and other useful information such as exposure details, camera, lense version, and other settings. This tool also has a Windows version and a Mac version.

Here are the rough steps to use this tool:

1. If using windows, download exiftool from http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool-7.81.zip (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/exiftool-7.81.zip)

2. Unzip exiftool-7.81.zip or add the extracted folders' path to your Windows PATH environment settings. This would allow you to just run "exiftool" on the command prompt instead of using the full file path.

3. Rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe
4. Run it using:

exiftool "picture file here.jpg"

5. Now look for the shutter count field, it's normally in the middle of the output.

Hope this helps,

Xander

what do you mean?? 50,000 beyond junk?? :Scared:

your camera's dead after 50,000

your camera's dead after 50,000

thats the rated... could be more, worse it could be less..

not sure how reliable this database is but you can have a look HERE (http://www.olegkikin.com/shutterlife/nikon_d60.htm) for the D60.

The site Camera Shutter Life is a huge database based on user entered data. I found it after googling and finding this blog. (http://d40-photog.blogspot.com/2008/02/camera-shutter-life-expectancy-database.html)

What I do is take a shot in RAW... then open in Photoshop... then check the image info. :-)

is there an iexif for mac? any other apps?

use this link... http://regex.info/exif.cgi/exif.cgi
i believe it counts your shutter count via web... :)

no need to install any tools just use that link...

not entirely correct. a knew someone who has his D70 go up way past 170k before it went dead(its rated at 50k). shutter count is not accurate, it depends on how the camera is being used but the ratings for shutter count are just estimates

thanks for answering :-)
what will happen if your camera became "dead?" is it irrepairable? thanks!

shutter units are replaceable, and you'd have long upgraded your body before it dies on you :)

Oh my..its just been 3 mos and Im already at almost 10k!? Ohhhh...myyyy..if D40 is at only 50k..then my camera only have a year to go.huhuhu:(

after the shutter dies you can replace that thru the service center. shutter unit costs depends on the unit. for the D40/D60 it may cost 4-6k(my estimate). never worry about this, before your shutter dies you have the funds to get a new body, thinking about it would just costs you some memorable moments.

that 50k is just an estimate...i saw a D70 break at 170k, a D80 reach past 60k and a D40??? 90k shots!

so it's worthless looking at shutter/actuation counts if youre buying a second hand camera? because anyone can have it replaced? ryt?

"Worthless" may not be the right word to use here. It's always helpful to look at shutter actuations when buying a second-hand camera.

If it's slightly used, you'll know from the shutter actuations just how used it is, and you can negotiate the selling price based on the actuations.

If it's got a new shutter then all the better for you -- but there will be other signs of wear and tear on the body and lens(es) themselves, as well as on the other internal and external parts of the camera. You can use that to negotiate on the selling price as well.

IMO this preoccupation with actuations is merely much ado about nothing. Generally, if you're a hobbyist, chances are you will not reach that theoretical "maximum number of actuations" at all.

And if you're studying to be a Pro then you are more likely to be putting away a bit of cash regularly, saving up for that upgrade which will happen even before your existing camera "dies."

So relax, forget about actuations if you can, and just keep shooting! Concern yourself more about technique rather than the technical and you'll be a much happier shooter :D

My 10D is rated at 50K only, the shutter is still going at 150K+++ right now (but the AF sensor failed, but that's another story)... My 40D is currently at 12K+ (from 2K+ since I got this around Feb).

Just think of it like a human being... You're supposed to die at around 80, we all know people can die a lot sooner or later than that...

hehehe..right. Oh my...I only got 55 years to go.huhuhu:)

just like what they say, before your camera dies you still have the chance to buy for a new body or have the shutter thing repair.. is that true?

nice...thanks for this!

i read this somewhere, "counting your actuations limits your potential"...
