Check Nikon Digital SLR Camera Shutter Count with Opanda IExif

I was wondering how to check my DSLR camera shutter count. So as usual in this technology world I googled and in about 5 minutes I already knew what is my camera's count.

If you are currently using a Nikon digital SLR camera, then you are in luck. A freeware called Opanda IExif can tell you how many shots that you have taken with your camera based on the shutter count attribute recorded on a photo’s EXIF information.

Steps to Check a Nikon Digital SLR Camera Shutter Count

1- Using your Nikon camera, take a picture in JPEG format. RAW formatted images won’t work with Opanda IExif.
2- Transfer that picture from your camera to your personal computer.
3- Download Opanda IExif. Double click the setup file to install it and click the Panda icon on the desktop to run it.
4- Select the “Open” menu icon. Choose the photo that you have taken before. Your picture will be shown on top left of the interface.

5- Select the “Summary” tab.
6- Scroll down until you reach the “MakerNote (Nikon)” section. Scroll down a little bit more until you find the “Total Number of Shutter Releases for Camera” attribute. A number will be shown next to this attribute. That my friend, is your Nikon Digital SLR shutter count.
