With this I think it is possible to quickly identify correct fields. I also developed a small python script which with the help of exiftool finds all the suspect fields in sequential files.
#SONY ALPHA SHUTTER COUNTER HOW TO#
Instructions on how to manually check this are available in this post. Drag images here or click to select image This tool provides information on the number of MECHANICAL shutter actuations that a given SONY camera has made up to the given image. SONY Alpha A55 (Possibly also A33, maybe someone can check) SONY Alpha shutter counter Still the same tool, just with a better look and cooler domain. I will provide instructions on how to do it correctly later).

If you provide a link, make sure to provide the link to the file itself (A usual problem is with flick when you provide a link to the html file which shows your image.
#SONY ALPHA SHUTTER COUNTER SOFTWARE#
Like some of you discovered, practically any software for importing/exporting/whatever will destroy this part of the exif. To get a result, you must provide an ORIGINAL RAW, CRAW or JPEG directly from the camera. Yes, there are some problems with the tool, as I only threw it together more or less as a proof of concept.

If it has only turned over once, the count could be exactly correct when also considering multiple actuations that are recorded with HDR, Multi-Frame NR, Hand-Held Twilight, and panorama shots. Not a good example if you only think that and are not sure. I think I have turned the 9999 at least once if not twice before.This camera has never been serviced by Sony. Total shutter count for file DSC01070.JPG: 12160 The same thing form my A55: file number was 1070, this is what came out: If a camera was serviced, the internal counter may have been reset by a tech. Shutter has not been changed, but the cam has been serviced twice for sensor claning and soon after that for broken wheels of the mirror return mechanism (or something of that nature). This is not correct, I estimate the shutter count by simply how many times I got past 9999 to be on the order of 30,000 or so. I owned this camera since April 2014 and used it until December 2016.I uploaded an out-of-cam jpeg taken with A900 with filename DSC08298 and it gave me a shutter count of 10051 or something like that. But, I don't know the number in the filename because I renamed it. The site gave me the complete EXIF data which I can read that shutter count listed. I just tried a second site and it also shown the same number. I would try a second and third site for confirmation.Īlso if the in camera file naming never was reset, your filename would equal the shutter count. However the site you tried is not necessarily correct. The reason I am selling it, because I bought a6500 months ago.Įven if Sony states an estimated shutter life of 100 000 for the a6000 people tend to think that a count of 26 000 (quite correctly) indicates a busy life of the camera and the extended use could also lead to other signs of wear. I am now thinking what should I do with it as no one wants to buy it lol. So, what is it shutter count? And what can you tell with that 26000 count on my a6000? And apparently that might be too high, which made all potential buyer withdrew their bid. So, I Googled it and found an online website which I could upload latest photo made by the camera to check the shutter count.

I am trying to sell my a6000, body only and few people asked me how many shutter count it has.
