Shutter Actuation Software
I am not sure if I have imagined this but I understand it is possible to interrogate a camera for the exact number of shutter actuations amongst other things.
I am looking at purchasing a used body but with low use. Software of this type would be very useful to prove low use. Can anyone vouch for my understanding and point me in a direction where I can find such software. |
Very good idea.
Seems possible with higher end bodies but no readily available by supplied software with the usual and common ones. I believe it is possible to find it easy if you give the camera to manufacturer's repair center, so a call to local on may be of help. But I am sure someone has made a software for such check using cameras usb cable for communication. Will look and if find one, will post it here. |
I am sure you are right Stephen. Due to rain tomorrow so time for a web trawl.

Foxy Bob, while waiting for another break in the clouds I am doing a search. My assistant is on cloud watch :D
One possible so far http://drchung.new21.net/previewextractor/ Don |
I hope your assistant is wrapped up nice and warm!
I downloaded preview-extractor and it sure works. Looking at the end of RIAT the 'mileage' on my D2X was approx 13500 some 400 higher than the filename I set to consecutive after a few hours of ownership. My fathers D70 had taken an amazing 600 I reckon 150 of those were from me! This little utility is going to come in handy :) |

Does not look too good for a moon pic tonight at the moment. I am still trawling, but glad that link provided something useful. Don |
Interesting bit of software, its showing 16,511 images and the last photo taken at Dux yesterday was number 15,911.

Just the thing if you are looking at a used Hs :) Your father will start charging mileage on his D70 :D Don |

Very useful utility to confirm use. I can ask for a recent photo from any seller to check date and time and shutter use before I explore any sale further. Thanks Don :) |
Just having a play with it.
No need to ever shoot RAW + Jpeg as it will extract all the jpegs for reviewing of images taken in a trice. Not much use for me as I do not fill 4 x 2gig cards at an airshow. :D Very useful for dealing with Stevies pics though. She is not up with NX and on return from a do can now spin through her pics in PSP8 in no time. Prior to today I had to convert them to Jpegs individually as I have not worked out how to batch process. Don |
