How To Check Your Shutter Count

A lot of people take photos and wants to know what are their shutter counts. Reason?

1. Gives them the info of how many photos have been taken on the camera
2. Let's them know how often has the camera been used from the date it was purchased until the day you've checked it
3. Gives them info on roughly when they'll need to change the shutter (this is probably amongst the reason why most DSLR users will want to check their shutter count.

  So what are the things you need?

• Computer
  
• Opanda IExif (It can be downloaded from here)
• Camera (to take photos and upload them to your computer to check the shutter count)

  The first thing you need to do (obviously) is to install the Opanda IExif software. After installing, all you need to do is just open the software and open the image that you've taken to check the shutter count. Opanda IExif also allows people to know what setting have they used such as the Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO settings. Apart from that it also lets people know whether they've been editted or not and what have been done. Even the type of camera used is shown.


  The shutter count can be found under the MakerNote (in my case it's MakerNote(Nikon)) as seen in the image below:
