Thank you. I've nefer got such Exif data with my R-D1 and R-D1s bodies so far. Yours says also 'AF-D' lens. Are you sure it is an Epson's, not a Nikon's? Just curious.IGMeanwell said:

Well obviously its a Nikon
I was just demonstrating how you pull up exif data using irfanview
If you have photoshop you can still look of the exif data and you should still get total shutter count.
With irfanview you might need all the plugins to read the file properly? Did you guys get the plugin package?
also remember to scroll all the way to the bottom of the exif screen

OK Pete. Have you got R-D1 or R-D1s Exif datas saying 'total pictures' as well? Thanks in advance.

No sorry I don't own an Epson (yet)
but maybe its something to do with the RAW file
here is another program specific to Exif data... if this doesn't work then I don't think anything will

Power Exif is the program

not all cameras keep a shutter count and report it in EXIF .

Depending on camera pre-sets each picture will have a number that represents each time the shutter is fired. Also I seem to remember an R-D1 shooter here who switched to the M8 and made reference to 20,000 exposures from his R-D1. Let's see, I took a one-week trip to HK, and shot 1k exposures in that time. Let's say I take 6 such trips or "session blocks" per year, that would give me 3.33 years of life (and then some) from an R-D1. I'll get my money's worth! :angel:

One way that a lot of people estimate their number of R-D 1 shots is simply that if you have the sequential file number option turned on, then the most recent file name shows the number of shots the camera has taken.
It's not a 100% accurate guide (especially when evaluating a used camera) since you can't know for a fact that the previous user had kept sequential numbering turned on since new. Also, if you leave a battery out of the camera long enough to drain the backup power source (I think this is a capacitor rather than a separate battery) the camera will "forget" its previous frame count, as well as date, time, and other user-set information.
Still, if it's your own camera and you know you've had sequential numbering turned on since new and have always kept a battery in the camera, it can provide you with a fairly good estimate.
