Frequently asked questions: how to find out the mileage of a camera from a photo and check the shutter life

Why do you need to check a used camera before purchasing and how to find out the mileage of the camera?

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.

Does filming affect the number of shutter times?

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.

How to correctly find out the mileage of a camera from a RAW / JPG file?

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.

Is it always possible to determine the number of shutter releases and find out how many frames the camera took from the image?

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.
