- We know about how long our cameras can still work well. Shutter count camera as well as the count of how many kilometers your car / motor has been running. Camera mechanical work, like any other stuff, also has age limitations, so when it reaches a certain shutter count it is likely that the camera's working mechanism will be disrupted. Just a brief addition: when we push the shutter, then some mechanical functions will work in the camera until the camera can produce photos. This mechanical function is composed of several components that are quite fragile and certainly have a lifetime limit. The good standard SLR camera is to reach a shutter count of around 100 thousand, so in total we can generate 100 thousand photos from one SLR camera without the camera having mechanical damage. Even some top-class cameras claim to reach 200 thousand shutter count without mechanical damage.
- Very useful when we will buy used camera. Buying used camera is a risky action (hence the price is much cheaper), but by knowing the number of shutter count camera that we will buy, at least we have minimized the risk because we have so square until when the used camera to be purchased can work well , So that when we can bargain the price of used camera with more thorough.
So how we as a lay user can find out how many shutter count our camera? There are several alternatives, I choose some of the easiest.
1. Use an online EXIF viewer.
Free, easy and easy. In this way, you just upload a sample photo of the camera you want to know its shutter count, then the program will automatically calculate how many shutter count your camera. Go to this website to try it out. Here's how it works :
- Open this Website
- Click choose file
- When the dialog appears, select an existing photo on the computer, then click OK
- Click view image from file
- Wait a minute for the program to work
- Then will appear a series of EXIF data
- To know the shutter count, drag the scroll bar down. Use the search / find feature in your
- browser
- then search for word: shutter count
- Shutter count camera example is: 1509, my camera has been pressed as much as 1509 times when producing this photo
We can download some special programs that are useful to see the EXIF data. Some of them :
- EOS Info, this program is very accurate to know the shutter count Canon SLR camera (EOS), only works in Windows.
- Opanda Exif viewer, special program exif viewer for Windows
- If using a Mac, you can download iExifer via the Mac App Store or for a free program, use the Simple Exif Viewer
