Download and install exiftool.
Open terminal and paste this command line:
exiftool -s -G -All:*Count* [dir]
_______________
[dir] = the location of your last RAW image. (You can drag the file to the command line and it will add the location for you)
THANK YOU!!
Great tool!
I believe my 7riii has around 3 shutter clicks on it, that may have been from a QC team or vendor.
Nothing to complain about, just wanted to report it.
Just an FYI, ON1 Photo Raw 2018 opens the raw files for the 7RM3 , from there you can send it to Photoshop CC or Lightroom CC if you prefer that for processing

Contacted Adobe about LR as others have done. They said the update would be very soon. I pressed them and they said 2017. I asked, well then that could be almost a month away and they replied yes, so that isn't very soon. Anyway, they aren't much help on this.

Their subscription model promised better and faster updates...

I really enjoy the option allowing the camera remember the previous focusing point location for both portrait and landscape orientation. I found that very useful when it first came out on the Canon 1DX and I'm glad Sony implemented this on the R3. Still learning from this camera!

It’s a tribute to the enthusiasm around theR3 that there is so much angst around the LR update!
It’s pretty normal for an LR update to take many weeks after a new camera comes out (I recall using something else for the 5D3 for ages for example and other bodies where I upgraded soon) but don’t remember so much angst, from me or others...
1. do you guys have a favorite comprehensive list of setup info that you've drawn on? this is my first Sony rodeo. I did some reading and found that Fred discovered a little setting that made his bokeh look just ok at 1.4, stuff like that.
2. I'm going to shoot jpg and raw for now.
what are the best jpg settings? profile, etc.

The rIII is indeed a complex beast and even coming form the A7rII it can be quite a challenge getting to grips with all the new functions and menus so I hate to to think what it must be like for a new A7 user. That said the great thing about the Sony's (as is with most cameras now) is that it is so customisable and between the custom buttons, fn button and the new 'my menu' area you can set it up so that you hardly ever need to dive further into the menus etc. it took me a longtime to get the A7rII set up exactly how I wanted it and it will be the same with this as I continue to experiment with it. Now that I have finally managed to import RAW files into Lr and no longer having to also shoot jpeg I feel that I can get more to grips with the camera. I shot a concert event last night and the addition of continuous shooting in silent mode and the better EVF are two of the things I wanted most from this camera and it live up to expectations in this respect. I wasn't seeing any enormous improvements in AF over the rII but it is early days on this and in any case I still often find that it is quicker and more accurate to use a single focus point and then recompose. I think DR in silent mode higher up the iso scale maybe be slightly better but as too IQ in general I am happy to use the rIII and rII together as I feel that for most things the differences will be minimal but obviously for critical work I would choose the rIII. I have started to experiment with touchscreen focus and I can see that this may well be useful for landscape work when using the LCD and having it set to read from a quarter of the screen while using the EVF may also work well when I get used to it and actually be quicker than using the joystick. As to the joystick in some way I prefer the A7rII with the latest firmware where you can activate the focus box and use the control-wheel four-way buttons as when turned on the focus box turns orange and is much easier to see. In fact this is one of the main issues I am having with focusing on the rIII as at times it can be difficult to see the black focus box in darker areas of the screen and I feel there should be an option to change it's colour....Show more →
Why wait for Adobe to get support, Capture One Pro 11 has it already, you can use it for 30 days as a trial, but after you use it you probably wouldn’t go back to ACR anyway, better colours and profiles, better detail.

Yeah just like there would never be a cloud only version of LR and thta LR Classic CC was all about speed, and it runs like a dog on high end systems. The Adobe forum has a huge thread on how bad this garbage runs. Luckily DxO Photolab now has localised adjustments and I can use that rather than watching my LR freeze up after do simple brush or gradient adjustments.

Updating for one camera isn't that hard and since the Sony base is growing, I would think they could jump on this.
Is it? Creating a profile needs a proper setup and testing. You can make many faults. Especialy if the engine of the new camera is not comparable with a predecessor.
If I remember correctly LR had a mediocre profile for the a7RII at the beginning and it was one of the reasons many changed from LR to C1 (and never looked back). On top of that I'm sure they do profiling new cameras once in a period (month?) and not as soon as the camera is out.

Well I don't know personally I have no problems with the files that Lr give me for the A7rII and when it is a simple hack using exiftool to make them compatible it seems odd that it can take Adobe so long to issue an update. I should imagine that they most probably have had the profile ready for a while but don't want to update just for one camera and wait for a few to come along before doing so. I really can't afford to change my whole workflow so C1 is not really an option

What is the difference between DXO Photolab and DXO OpticsPro 11?

If I understand it correctly DXO decided rebranding was in order and renamed Optics (Pro) into Photolab. It's essentially a (major?) update of OpticsPro 11. I will admit I haven't updated, so I can't tell you whether it's worth it.

Been using DxO for a while. I think DxO PhotoLab is my favorite version yet. I really like the new Local adjustments tool. So much easier to acess and brush in selective masks to apply percise corrections to specific areas of the image.

From what I recall, once assembled the factory worker snaps a few test shots to ensure that the shutter is operating properly and that everything is functioning as should be. There was a video circulating recently of a Sony (I'm fairly certain it was Sony) manufacturing factory where they showed the worker doing this to each camera that went down the line.
