I know this topic has been discussed before but I would like some help in determining how many shots my D70 has taken. I use elements latest version that reads NEF files and under the EXIF data it says DSC_9945 or something close. I was sure I had it nailed until I looked at an old set of D70 photos I took in 2004 and each of the files renumbered at 1. I think I reset the camera to take a continous frame count from that point which means I am now not sure that DSC_9945 is accurate.

Q1. Is the DSC_XXXX my cameras no of photos taken or is there another way of using elements or something else to determine this?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I searched for this info in the search engine on this site but couldnt locate it...probably due to me not using the correct search terms (so I have admitted my weaknesses)

Opanda Exif View, when viewing with the advance tab will show how many shutter actuations your D70 has done. (I usually shoot a jpeg as its easier then doing it to the NEF).

Hi Craig

Thank you for your time. If you dont mind me asking where is the Opanda Exif Data on Elements 4? I have searched but cant actually find it.

Kind regards

Peter. It's not part of Elements, it's a shareware download. You can get it here:

Thanks John & Craig

Got it. I'm over 12K. I'm averaging about 1 good photo per thousand. Remember film. It would have cost me at $3.95 per 24 film for 12K photos $1975.00. This looks like a great argument to purchase something using the 'cost saving' argument as I am out of all the others.

Thanks very much for your help. That Opanda Exif is amazing. Happy Sunday Eve.

whereabout is the advance tab, can't seem to find the shutter count anywhere

Posted: **Thu Apr 06, 2006 11:58 pm**

on the top right you'd see quick mode, and if you see that you're already in advance mode. :wink:

now scroll down to "MakerNote" and look for option "Total Number of Shots"
hint: its right at the bottom, keep scrolling

let me know if it works!

I checked mine I'm almost hitting 20k, so I'm averaging 2000 a month.

Wow, that's less than your monthly post count. You need to get out more :wink:

Seems like I'm only averaging about 300/month.

Posted: **Fri Apr 07, 2006 10:22 am**

quality or quantity :roll:

i haven't got both :oops:

Does anyone know whether this program reads data for D100's as well??? Because I have this program too and can't seem to locate the Total Number of Shots tab anywhere!!!!?!?!?!?!?!

Touché!

Don't worry - I have answered my own question.

You cannot read this data for the D100 with this program but I just learnt that you can with the D200!!!!

My D200 is now only 1 day old so it only reads 24 shots - isn't that nice!!!

Posted: **Fri Apr 07, 2006 1:11 pm**

Congrats on the new D200 Kelly, get out and have some fun, 24 shots doesn't seem nearly enough ;-)

Posted: **Fri Apr 07, 2006 1:45 pm**

Thanks! Yes, it's very exciting. Just waiitng on the 70-200VR to arrive at Birddog's and I'll be set :cheers:

24 pics won't last long anyway. I have a wedding on in 2 hours - only about 3 hours work but tomorrow I have a wedding to photograph for approx 10 hours!!!! LOOK OUT

Baphist by fire for the new camera, sounds like you are going to have a busy few days, once you've recovered I'd love to see some of your PP shots from the new camera.

how do you find out the number of shutter actuations on a D2x?

Should be the same as the D70, Use Opanda and the Advanced view.

Posted: **Wed Apr 26, 2006 1:06 am**

Actually you can also check the total shutter actuations with photoshop (works with CS2, don't know about other versions).

Open your .NEF in PS, goto File > File Info... > Advanced > click the plus next to "http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/aux/" and the actuations are next to "aux:ImageNumber: "

No need for the Opanda program :)

Thanks Six, it works tried it out.
Cheers

Posted: **Wed Apr 26, 2006 7:40 pm**

My D70, is upto 34,725 :lol:

Posted: **Wed Apr 26, 2006 7:50 pm**

That does it I need to get out and take more shots. My D70 is near on 22 months old and I have only clocked 3495 What the??? I'm dragging the chain on this forum. Damn, I need to get my mindset out of film mode! I need to shoot more :roll:

cheers

Thats 15.2 shots per day.........

A few tips designed to get the count up.

If your D70 does 3fr per second and you set it on the lowest res & qual you should be able to take 259,200 photos in a day providing of course you have a really big flash card and can change it in a split second. And your battery doesnt go flat and you dont get bored and you have no real life...I dare you

Opanda is great.

Isn't the D70's shutter rated at 100,000 exposures?
