Selling a mirrorless camera: how to show the mileage of the mechanics and electronic shutter

The main advantage of mirrorless cameras when selling

If you're selling a mirrorless camera (Sony A7, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X-T, Olympus), you have a huge bargaining chip owners of DSLRs. On mirrorless cameras, frames taken in **electronic silent shutter mode (Silent Shooting)**, **do not wear out the mechanics at all!**

However, standard simple scripts often read the general frame counter. As a result, the carcass of a Sony A7 III with a mileage of 150,000 frames looks “rolled”, although 120,000 of them were shot silently in the studio, and the physical shutter took only 30 000 clicks!

How to show the buyer the real low wear of the mechanics?

  • Upload the source frame in RAW format to our service decoder.
  • The service will display separate statistics:Total Image Count(total number of shots) andMechanical Shutter Count(number of curtain activations).
  • Take a screenshot and indicate in the text of the ad on Avito:“The total number of shots fired is 140k, but the physical shutter mileage - only 28,000 frames! The mechanics are fresh!”.

Why do buyers willingly buy mirrorless cameras with long electronic range?

Unlike a mechanical shutter, where springs, drivers and lamellas break, reading the matrix electronically does not cause mechanical friction and wear. The matrix does not “burn out” from taking photos.
