So I can take a series of shots at different AF values and then pick the one that is sharpest (zoom into 1:1 and lock zoom and position in irfanview the cycle through the shots - another nice app) through knowing what setting I had in the EXIF. I also use it for AF micro adjustments as it shows the AF adjustment value in the EXIF. Used it dozens of times and have referred countless people to it.īut now that I know I can pop open EXIF Tool, and see it right there, I have a quicker, more convenient method.It is a wonderful tool. In this example, it’s shot 86,458 (this is a D800 I’ve used quite a lot). Down toward the bottom, you’ll see the Shutter Count item. From the next screen, click on the Nikon tab. Don't get me wrong, the web based tool that Adam has here is fantastic too. In the popup, click on the i tab (the icon that is a small dark circle with an i). Fuji has been (IMHO) poor in implementing this feature and has used several different EXIF fields to put shutter count into. The electronic shutter has essentially an unlimited lifetime, subject to the camera lasting, unlike the mechanical one. You can use an EXIF tool to read data embedded in the NEF file, and that will give you separate electronic and mechanical shutter counts. Then proceed to type: exiftool sourcejpegfile.jpg find Shutter Count (replace sourcejpegfile.jpg with the name of your actual JPEG file) The number that pops up is your shutter actuation. The number that EXIFtool is reading is the EXIF field that it assumes is the shutter count. Leif said: The web site provides the total shutter count.

I can do the command line thing, but GUI's have made me lazy and unfamiliar with the command line.Īnd now I find out I don't have to save a copy of a photo as Jpeg, upload it, no, wait, forgot to resize it, it is too big, go back to Photoshop, resize, upload, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait some more then see the shutter count. Once the program is installed, you can open up the command prompt on your Windows computer or the shell terminal for your Mac computer. What a great tool, especially with the GUI.

Had them for years but saved them to a folder and just found them the other day. Mac users who perhaps aren’t as interested in such a versatile open source application as ExifTool and who might prefer to have their hands held as they retrieve only the shutter count might prefer to pay a 7 fee to license Dire Studio’s ShutterCount app. I recently got off my butt and installed the EXIF Tool and EXIF Tool GUI.
