How many shutter activations a camera has gone through ?? Is there a way to know how many shutter activations it has gone through?

check the exif data with an exif viewer program and look for "shutter activations" or something like that.

Hi there. Sorry took so long to respond. Been out of the country. The camera has about 10k shutters.

I have never counted; but I do know that I always take a spare battery with me when ever I take my camera to events....only once have I run-out of battery 'juice' needing to change the battery...probably after 600 plus shots.soooo, I would recommend the battery. I hope this helps. Joel/MrG

The shutter count is the number of times the shutter has been pressed on the camerA.

Basically tells you how many shots this camera has taken. Helpful when re-selling cameras

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

It is saved to an SD card. You can look at the LCD display ob the rear to see how many photos were taken. It only shoots stills but they're in series.

There is a long wait period between fully depressing the shutter button (this is after focusing with a half press) and capture.By the time the picture is taken the moment is well over.I have a Canon G3 - it does not have a similar issue, however Canon's support is unwilling to acknowledge that there is a problem.Locking the exposure prior to the shot fixes the problem, but then you have to do this for each shot and it means another flash.

Also I bought the camera used. I have probably shot 20,000 pics with it because it is not my primary camera. No idea how many shots taken before or what maintenance may have been performed. It was previously used by a news outlet though. But I had the shutter replaced on my primary camera (also a 1D Mark IIN that I bought new in 2006) and it has worked perfectly since then.

I'm one of those guys who starts pushing buttons before I look at the manual. hah This is what I figured out: First, you can use the button to take photos even without batteries or the power turned on. If all you want is a remote shutter without any of the timer features, you should be ok without turning it on. Across the top are the following marks: DE - Delay.. how long to pause before taking the first photo BU - Bulb.. basically how long to keep the shutter open when your camera is in BULB mode INT - Interval.. how long to wait between taking the next photo N - Number of photos to take. Blank for unlimited &lt;speaker&gt; - Volume of beeps. Including countdown beeps before next photo is taken LEFT/RIGHT on the direction pad to select which of these you're changing CENTER BUTTON on direction pad to tell it you want to change the selected item After you press the CENTER BUTTON, you can use LEFT/RIGHT to select which item to change (hours/minutes/seconds/etc).. if you press LEFT/RIGHT again when you're on the first/last setting for that item, it'll go to the previous/next item so you can set all your parameters without exiting "edit mode". Once you ever everything set, exit edit mode by pressing the center button again. Press start/stop to start the countdown and image taking sequence. Looks like you can also hold down the main button (has HOLD printed on it) to take long exposures (might require BULB mode? haven't tested this). Also, sliding the main button up appears to hold it down for you until you slide it back down. You can't slide it up with the button pressed (I originally thought you'd press then slide up to hold but it doesn't work like that). The light/lock button lights up the display on a single press, locks the settings on a long-press. I think that's everything. Hope that helps!

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

It's hard to tell on Sony cameras since they roll over back to 0 after 9,999 shutter activations.

VERY faint noise. You really need to look at the display of number remaining to see if it took. Sometimes you think you pressed the shutter button but it hasn't taken the picture

I haven't written a review, and haven't even read the other reviews (yet), but I am *definitely* having the soft focus and out of focus problems you are referring to. I can take 10 consecutive pictures - same lighting/angle, etc. and maybe one will be a good picture, 4 not so good, and 5 completely unusable. I wonder if certain models cause this, or if some of these were just defective. I bought because of all the positive reviews, but wish I would've spoke up when I first received my camera.

Daniel, Shutter actuations (not activations) is not a critical issue when it comes to professional styled cameras. The D300 is rated for 150K before it might fail. Might is the operative word. Most of these types of cameras go well beyond their stated actuations.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards
