Why shutter count matters when buying used
A camera's shutter count is the single most reliable indicator of mechanical wear. Knowing the count helps you avoid overpaying for a worn body.
Excellent
0–30% of rated life
Good
30–60% of rated life
High Use
60–80% of rated life
Critical
80%+ of rated life
What to do if the count is missing
The most common reasons — and how to fix them.
01
Use the original RAW file from your memory card
Not an edited export or converted copy.
02
Sony JPEG results vary — if missing, try the .ARW file
Original ARW files usually preserve more of the maker-note data needed by the parser.
03
Nikon in-camera JPEGs work; Lightroom exports do not
Software exports strip the maker note. Use the original file from your card.
04
Some Canon R-series bodies do not expose it
No file format — JPEG or RAW — contains the count on certain models.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about checking shutter count and how the tool works.
Upload any original JPEG or RAW file taken with your camera. ShutterCount.org reads the EXIF data and extracts the shutter actuation count instantly — no software to install, no sign-up required.
No. All processing happens in your browser. Your photos never leave your device — ShutterCount.org is 100% private.
The most common reason is an edited export — software like Lightroom strips the maker note when exporting. Use the original RAW or JPEG file directly from your memory card for best results.
Under 30% of rated life is excellent. 30–60% is normal. 60–80% is high use. Above 80% means shutter replacement may be approaching.
Yes. Upload a .RAF RAW file or an in-camera JPEG. ShutterCount.org uses a custom Fujifilm binary parser for RAF files.
