p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Telling the shot count on a D3??????

A friend is trying to sell me his d3, Can't figure out how many shutter actuations it has, but in cruising the mountain of exif date I got this:

<aux:LensID>120</aux:LensID>
<aux:ImageNumber>128273</aux:ImageNumber>
<aux:ApproximateFocusDistance>71/100</aux:ApproximateFocusDistance>

Does this mean it has 128273 actuations as of the image this was taken from?

Thanx!

Google EXIF Viewer, download it shoot in jpg, drop the jpeg on the viewer icon and scroll down to shutter clicks, viola!

On a Mac it's even easier.
Open a NEF or JPG in Preview, select info and Exit, go to the bottom and look at "Image Number".

There are apparently a number of exif viewers out there. Tried one but did not get a shutter actuation count.

To repeat, is the image number the count?

Thanx!

Yes, its exactly like that. It should last around 150k exposures. They sometimes tend do die sooner, but thats same for pretty much every manufacturer. Its not super expensive to replace it. Tho I would most likely price it according to that number (eg. lower it for around price of new shutter or at least half of it).

No. It'll SAY "shutter count"

that's the last card # it's reading

Kids, you're making this WAY too complicated.

Download Jeffery's Exif Viewer...it's the best.
Hell, it'll even tell ya what you had for breakfast

Onna Mac I still like REVEAL, drop any pic in
and it'll give ya the count (provided it wasn't stripped)

update: I just tried Picasa (Properties) yup...works a charm too!

Jeffery unloads a mountain of data to wade through. Sadly, shutter count is not one of them to my old eyes.

I scrolled through so many lines of image data I'm dizzy--twice. No shutter count.

Ideas?

Copy and paste the results in here. Our "younger" eyes might pick it up.

Remember it has to be JPEG straight out of camera...

I'm not sure about all of the different exif viewers, but I have always used Opanda. With this reader, it clearly labels one line near the bottom of the data as "Total Number of Shutter Releases for Camera".

If you are converting a NEF file, you will usually lose this data. It should be an in camera JPEG shot.

D3 is rated for 300K actuations not 150K!!

Turns out it is the image number as noted above.

Myshuttercount did it painlessly...

Curious as to what the monkey meant about the card?

No D3 is rated MTBF for 300K shutter actuation (naturally it can fail before that - as well as after that).

My bad, thought its 150k. Maybe cause most failures occur at that number. If it survives 300k, than its pretty amazing..
