Some can laster much longer than the average. If it is not broken there is no need to replace it. Max The shutter life expectancy is just an average number.

But I dont recommend you changing the shutter by yourself, have someone fix it for you.

I'd suggest you try this: 1) cd to the directory where the image file is. 2) run the tool like this: /full-path-to-exiftool/exiftool -ShutterCount <name of the iamge file>. If you have the exiftool in /usr/bin/ directory and the image is IMG_1007.CR2, it would be something like this: /usr/bin/exiftool -ShutterCount IMG_1007.CR2 All command and file names are case sensitive on unix-like systems.

Its just that after a while the shutter tires out and may stop working, as my did the other day. Its not something you can predict. Its not that there is a parameter.

The shutter actuations will show as "total number of shutter releases for camera." This does not work with photos that have been edited via Adobe products.
