![]() ![]() UPDATE: This method seems to work for Nikons, but not Canons from the feedback I've received here and on another site that I'm on. I read on a couple of sites that the "mean time before failure" (MTBF) for many cameras' shutter is ~150,000 to ~200,000 actuations. NOTE: That number indicates how many shutter actuations you have made on your camera as of THAT photo. Scroll down to to where you see "Image number.".From 1,001 through 1,999 you will get 1,000 from the camera. Click on the "i" button in the Inspector window. When you first get the camera it will report 0 shutter actuations when you have 1-999.With that photo as your active photo, click on the "Tools" menu.It is reasonable to assume that the majority of cameras have a lifespan of about 200,000 shutter actuations. These are flagship bodies, though, and the less expensive the camera is, the less robust its mechanics will be. Drop/open the LAST photo you took with your camera in the Preview app. The shutter actuation rating of cameras like the Nikon D5 and Canon 1DX Mark II is roughly 400,000.NOTE: This procedure assumes that the LAST photo that you took with your camera is currently on your Mac somewhere. ![]() If you have a mirrorless camera, please try it and let us know if this works for you, too. I'm assuming this may work for any DSLR camera. ShutterCount is available immediately for 1.99 (EUR 1.79) on the Mac App Store. I was curious about getting a shutter count (i.e., actuations) for my 5-month old D500, so I did a Google search and discovered this simple procedure that Mac users can do using the Preview app. The app requires a 64-bit Intel Mac, with OS X 10.6.8 or later installed.
