This is probably already posted somewhere on the forum but my searches haven't panned out.

I am selling a K10-D and purchasing a K20-D. How can I tell how many acutations each one has performed? Is there a counter in the camera itself? External software required?

I'd appreciate any help the members can provide. Somehow, when I switched from film to digital a few years back I never learned this particular skill.

Thanks,

Sig

PhotoME - Exif, IPTC & ICC Metadata Editor

Take one photo, copy it to your PC and open it with this software. There you will find how many acutations you have made

Hope this helps

I'll check it out ASAP.

You don't need to install any software on your PC. Just upload a raw or jpg file here, and see all the possible pieces of exif data, including the number of clicks.

Thanks, I had used PhotoMe and I never searched around for other alternatives.

Thanks to Stefan (waqas) for the tip...this looks even easier. I'll try it when I get home tonight.

The members of this forum never fail to come up with the right stuff!

It's there, under 'Manufacturer's Notes' using PhotoMe 0.79.
