Perhaps you have been enjoying your DSLR very much and are curious if the shutter on your beloved DSLR has approached its life expectancy. Here are some information on how to find out the total shutter actuations:
- Nikon: Get Opanda iExif software
- Canon: Check out the information here
- Olympus: This post may help
- Others: Try ExifTool by Phil Harvey. It is a very powerful command-line utility. In Windows, simply drag and drop the photo over its default name “exiftool(-k).exe” and a console window will show you all the Exif information. Rename it to “exiftool(-k -a -u -g1 -w txt).exe” to get it to write the Exif information into a file. This assumes that the shutter actuation count is actually recorded in the Exif.
