alfred_ma Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have got a refurbished DL. Wonder how I can check the number of shutter actuations already done? Search with the forum did not yield results.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandeha Lynch Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Have you shot an image? Unless pre-set otherwise, the image number should be the same as the shutter actuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renatoa Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Look for 'Shutter Count' in EXIF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_van_egmond1 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 If I may, If a camera comes out of the box with the filenames starting at some random number in the high 5000's, like 5836 or something, is it fair to conclude it is refurbished?

mc2imaging Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Not necessarily. I can make a brand new camera start at 9876 if I put a card into the camera that already had 9875 from a different camera on it. They only way to REALLY know is to check the EXIF data. A likely scenario is that this may have been a demo unit and a card that was used in another camera was put in this one, forcing the file counter up.

alfred_ma Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I use Window XP and from properties of the photo, the frame count is alwways 1. I cannot find the "shutter count". Perhaps there is another EXIF program that I should install? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
