We prefer this method as it allows for quick string-based searching without reading over lengthy EXIF data lists (and if you’ve never looked over EXIF data before, trust us, there’s typically over a hundred entries per image file). If you already have a tool on your computer that allows you to examine EXIF data (like the popular InfranView freeware image viewer) you can open up an image and examine the data looking for the search string outlined above.Īlternatively, you can grab a copy of the cross-platform command line tool ExifTool and use it to search through the EXIF data. ![]() Use the following table to find the EXIF shutter count value name for your manufacturer if your manufacturer isn’t listed that doesn’t mean there isn’t EXIF data but that it isn’t commonly used or widely publicized: Manufacturer In such cases you can manually search the EXIF data of a sample image using a wide variety of EXIF-related tools.

Approved memory cards The following SD memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the D3100. ![]() It’s because of the aforementioned EXIF data that the handy website works across so many camera models. Fortunately many manufacturers embed the number of shutter cycles/actuations in the EXIF data of the pictures produced with that camera so you can examine a recent photo taken with a given camera and see how many clicks are on the shutter. ![]() There are several ways to check the shutter count of a camera and all of them rely on either having access to the camera, access to an image created by the camera, or both.
