Shutter Count FAQ

How do I check my camera’s shutter count on Android?

Take a photo, copy the original JPEG or RAW file to your phone, open Camera Shutter Count Checker, tap Select photo and start the analysis. You get the shutter count, the detected camera model and a simple reading of how used the camera is.

Which cameras and file types are supported?

Canon (JPEG, CR2, CR3), Nikon (JPEG, NEF), Sony (JPEG, ARW), Fujifilm (JPEG, RAF) and Panasonic Lumix (JPEG, RW2). DNG files are also accepted.

Is a high shutter count bad?

Not on its own. Shutter ratings are averages: roughly 50,000 actuations for entry-level bodies, 150,000 for enthusiast bodies and 400,000 or more for professional bodies. Many cameras keep working well beyond their rating.

Why does it say “Shutter count not found”?

Usually the photo was edited, exported or sent through a chat app, which strips the hidden data. Use the original file straight from the memory card. Some camera models never record the count at all.

Does it work for phone photos?

No. Phones do not use a mechanical shutter, so they have no shutter count.

Can a shutter count be reset?

Not from the camera menu. It normally changes only when a service centre replaces the shutter unit or main board.

Is the app free?

Yes. It is free and supported by ads.
