Does anyone know any software have shuttle count feature while read the digital photo EXIF info?

Wish to get to know this info because we can forecast the DSLR shuttle count until certain amount of photo, like Canon EOS 10D is around 80000 shot & EOS 30D is around 100000 shot..

Once it almost reach these number, we can be aware on this issue than sent the camera back to service center to replace the shuttle part. Or else, halfway of your photo event will be stop because the camera is faulty... Unless we have another 2nd DSLR at the same time...

Please advice, Thanks...

I am a lil disappointed with you. You're talking about DSLR and you can get your term wrongly spelt. It's shutter count not shuttle count.

Anyway, to answer your question.

You will need an exif reader.

1st Method
I use IrfanView to view my shutter count with the EXIF Plugin.

I have uploaded both files here.

Try using them.

First install Irfanview then later put the exif.dll file into your Irfanview Plugins folder.

Here's a screenshot on how to use the EXIF reader.

2nd Method

Download the PreviewExtractor.zip

Click on shutter count, load a japeg image and your shutter count will be shown.

3rd Method

Easiest method!

Download Shutterclicks.zip, run the program and select a jpeg image.

Only DSLRs have this feature?

Erm, I don't think it's possible to find out the shutter count for SLR film cameras.

And shutter count can't be found on P&S cameras.

Dear Calvin,

Thanks for the spelling correction & the solution provide..

Have tested on my photo but still cannot find the feature as mention on the 1st method, the 2nd method say cannot read the shutter count info. Maybe due to my camera is Canon DSLR EOS System..

Anyway, many thanks for the info provided..

=================================

unfortunately camera's like the 350D don't show shutter count, not even in EXIF.

Oh gosh, i am not aware that canon DSLR's can't check their shutter count.

I am sorry clkok. I can't help you.

the higher range can check.

350D no way man. i did a lot of googling, can't even find any way to check.

EXIF readers, FLICKR info......... all also won't read it correctly. AFAIK have to bring to SC to check.

Not all DSLR can read shutter count from EXIF

you can ask canon to do a check for you when you send your camera for service

Not for 300D,350D and 400D. Unless u can decode the hex code

lao eh canon service near ah

nikon service near?

I called Canon Service Centre regarding this issue and they said they will do the tracking for free at their centre. Its just a program which calculates the shutter count when connected to the camera.

I wonder if there is a way to get hold of this program and deliver them to the masses?

Hmm.. the software was not leaked to the public at all?

I think have to work hard googling to find out if there ever was a leak..

I did a quick search and found no leaked softwares.

Does anyone know what is that software name?

Maybe can find thru the peer to peer network..

Thanks..

what's the max shutter count for nikon D50???
