How to get shutter actuations?

[Dennis Carter]

I should know this, but don't. What's the easiest way to get at this?

FWIW, D700 and I use a Mac.

Thanks.

Dennis, grab a recent .jpg image and use an EXIF viewer (Opanda, for example, free). Look at the complete EXIF data and toward the bottom there's usually a field 'shutter actuations'.

Note that you don't want to save the .jpg using "Save for Web" in PS, as it strips out all the EXIF data.

Thanks, Chris; but, it appears Opanda is a Windows-only app.

Thanks, guys.

Turns out "Preview" has a Tools function that displays the count. Couldn't be easier.

I use Opanda but you can also check in Photoshop

Great stuff, I have always wondered this myself.

Try this...

Apple's own built in Preview app does it:

1) Open image in Preview
2) press Command-i
3) Click on the “EXIF” tab at the top, and scroll down
4) You should see “Imagenumber” towards the bottom.

I cannot find my shutter actuations. D3000
Opened Aperture 3 and made sure EXIF data was showing, but couldn't find shutter count...
Heres a screen shot

Subscribe to see EXIF info for this image (if available)

Try Preview instead of Aperture.

I have asked this question before:

Why don't standard photo edit programs (eg Capture NX, Photoshop, Lightroom..) provide this feature?

I just don't get it...

In the File Info ... dialog. Use the Raw Data tab:

If you're using a Mac, open the file in Apples preview app, not in Apeture.
