How to check shutter Count

[biotopeshop]

Hi,

There was a thread about checking shutter count some time ago, but I can't seem to find it. May I ask this question again?

Thanks

I think the one that user can reset is file numbering... not shutter count

If you reset file numbering, the shutter count is not reset.

shutter count are not determine by the file numbering, is embed into the file, for Nikon cameras, can use a software to check the shutter count by reading the latest image file.

I was told that if you save yr camera settings to a CF card, (eg at 5K shuter count) and load it back when yr shutter is (eg 10K) it will be reset to 5k. Dunno how true it is.

:dunno:

On canon 400D, only service center can read shutter count. Don't say you can read shutter count yourself.

I remember a website that showed the shutter count for my EOS300D when I uploaded a picture taken with it. Basically whatever you set the file naming to, the camera will still record the shutter-number to the picture as metadata, so you need some software to read it. There might be some free ones on the web, try googling. In the meantime I'll try to remember what that website was..

for pro bodies, you can use "Cancount" and its not free. you need to purchase a copy to use it. The trial version will not show you the shutter count.
