Yeah I’ve been kind of acting like a maniac.

So you actual shutter count is probably 72 498. So, if you had 40.000 a few month ago, my guess would be that your reached the 16bits limit, and then add 6963 to that. If it is 16 bits stored in NAT format, then the max number is 65 535 and adding one to that falls back on zero.

(if you actually have an image with a 40K shutter count could you attach it? I'd be curious to see it) The image count is stored in a 16 bit field in the EXIF metadata and it rolls over Since then I recently just checked again and the shutter went down to 6962 on multiple exit shutter count sites. If a camera is being sold as hardly used but there is an image count of 25000 then you know there is a problem.Ī technically aware dishonest seller could just change the image count to match his sales story but you always take your chances without a warranty.Ī few months ago I wanted to check on my shutter count to see how much use I’d gone through. It might not tell you definitively that a private seller is being honest but it could well do the opposite. It can't, for example, be used as an accurate measure of mechanical shutter use. It can be useful as long as the limitations are understood. My own camera was giving me a seemingly accurate number at around the 30k point, but then a couple of months later I checked again and it had reset and dropped to a much lower number - at that time there was no way I’d hit 65k.Īs I pointed out above the image count rolls over at 32767. Someone suggested the roll over point is around 65k above - I’m 99% sure that’s wrong based on my own experience. If you don’t already know the history of the camera in question, it’s worse than useless. It’s spurious when you don’t know when it’s rolled over or how many times it may have rolled over. Its not spurious - after rolling over it starts back at 1 - as long as you know roughly how many shots you have taken you can calculate the exact number. I know my camera had at least 50,000 shots on it but the EXIF count was far lower.
Fujifilm shuttercount cracked#
Unfortunately (or fortunately for those of us who resell cameras) there is still no reliable shutter count for Fuji X bodies.Īt one time I too thought I’d cracked it with that EXIF field, but like yours mine also rolled over at some point and gave a spurious reading after that.
