So I can take a series of shots at different AF values and then pick the one that is sharpest (zoom into 1:1 and lock zoom and position in irfanview the cycle through the shots - another nice app) through knowing what setting I had in the EXIF.

I also use it for AF micro adjustments as it shows the AF adjustment value in the EXIF. Mac users who perhaps aren’t as interested in such a versatile open source application as ExifTool and who might prefer to have their hands held as they retrieve only the shutter count might prefer to pay a 7 fee to license Dire Studio’s ShutterCount app. The first tool used the free and opensource application ExifToolby Phil Harvey (Credit to that person) to extract the required data from SONY ARW and JPG files. Used it dozens of times and have referred countless people to it.īut now that I know I can pop open EXIF Tool, and see it right there, I have a quicker, more convenient method.It is a wonderful tool. about this tool The tool was created in april 2013 when a user called Micholand posted a way to read shutter count information on the A900. Don't get me wrong, the web based tool that Adam has here is fantastic too. I can do the command line thing, but GUI's have made me lazy and unfamiliar with the command line.Īnd now I find out I don't have to save a copy of a photo as Jpeg, upload it, no, wait, forgot to resize it, it is too big, go back to Photoshop, resize, upload, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait some more then see the shutter count. What a great tool, especially with the GUI. Then type: Nikon DSLR: exiftool sourcejpegfile. Type cd c: in Windows or compact disc / in MacOS to be in exactly the same folder where the ExifTool executable exists. The number next to the shutter count is the number of shutter actuations. Among other data like flash setting, focus mode, and shooting mode, you will see Shutter Count. It printed out a lot more information than Preview did. Opening that tab is where you’ll find the EXIF data you’re looking for.
I tried this on the test picture ('exiftool test.jpg').
#EXIFTOOL MAC SHUTTER COUNT MAC OS#
There are versions for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Had them for years but saved them to a folder and just found them the other day. If you are using the Mac, fire up the shell fatal. Exiftool is a free Perl library and command-line tool for dealing with this type of data. I recently got off my butt and installed the EXIF Tool and EXIF Tool GUI.
