Take a new photo and upload it unedited; the image will not be saved.
When purchasing a used camera, checking the shutter life free of charge helps determine the number of shutter operations and assess actual wear and tear. Manufacturers provide a guaranteed resource of 100,000 to 400,000 frames. Checking the mileage of a camera online using a photo is a reliable way to find out how many shots the camera took.
Yes, when you start video shooting, the shutter opens to allow the sensor to operate. +1 triggering is added to the Shutter Counter each time video recording starts.
Take a fresh RAW (NEF, ARW, CR2, DNG) or original JPEG photo directly from the camera and upload it for a free shutter performance test. Photo editors (Photoshop, Lightroom) can remove EXIF metadata.
No, not always. The success of EXIF data extraction depends on several factors:
1. Camera Manufacturer: Nikon and Pentax usually save a counter in all files. With Sony, it’s easy to find out the mileage of a camera using RAW (ARW), but in JPEG the data is often truncated. Leica cameras generally do not record mileage in metafiles.
2. Device type: Smartphones, action cameras and drones use an electronic shutter and do not keep a frame counter.
3. Third-party processing: When saved through photo editors or transmitted through instant messengers without compression, EXIF data can be cleared.
