I don't think it is showing the actuations of the Canon.

Christine,

Mmmm, about 1/8th the info I get with an edited Nikon image.

I guess Opanda not reading Canon files. I will do another web trawl unless anyone knows better.

Don,

It looks like a similar story for Pentax images. The data relating to the number of shutter actuations simply doesn't appear to be recorded by the camera.

Christine,

It is chucking it down here today, so I have spent some time trawling for something that will work on Canon camera's.

CanCount ( not free although there appears to be a trial version ) does not work on all models. I found a forum comment that says it is NOT compatible with 10D-20D or 300D -350D
Link to CanCount ...... http://www.soens.de/Software_EN.html

From another forum comment it appears Nikon added the shutter count to exif from the D70 but Canon only record this info on D1 series exifs.

I have looked at several threads on the subject on DPR - Canon forums, and from them, it appears that only a Canon Service Centre can accurately determine this for models other than 1D series.


Duncan, I have not found anything that relates to Pentax. Perhaps Pentax users are not too concerned so no posting or site links picked up by Google.

Don

Thanks Don I tried doing a search as well and came up with the same thing, never mind, the exif reader I downloaded yesterday works brilliant for viewing setting, even on photos on the net. That can be useful.

I was amazed at the amount of info in an EXIF. I normally only look at info as in a gallery job. Never realised all this existed, must be 100 + lines. No idea what it all means. Might search that one.

If new lines are written to this when processed, then I can see why file sizes rise, as in having a play with a pic posted here and then having to compress further in order to post back.

Well I may have sort have answered my question here. All very tech stuff and way way beyond the limited bits of an exif I use.

I will post the two links as they may be of interest to anyone interested in editing the exif.

1) Link to Exif Tool by Phil Harvey http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

2) 2) Link to the Exif Tool Tag Names to save scrolling through the above link. http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/...mes/index.html

Kind of explains the fields in the exif that just contain numbers, by camera manufacturer. Not being a computer buff I found some interesting bits here that explain how a RAW processor ( in my case NX ) recognises things like the A/F point and various settings such as exposure comp, NR etc, that although adjustable, it initially applies when opening an image.

I downloaded this software but it seems to only read jpeg and not RAW?
