I keep hearing about this, I'm somewhat good about clearing out my junque images, but I have 14,000 images in "stock".

How can I find my shutter clicks counter?

TIA......8>)

Want to know the Mileage of Your D50, D70(s), D2H(s), D2X, D200?
Preview Extractor has an extra feature to extract the shutter count embedded in the picture. Run it on JPG or NEF files that came out of D50, D70(s), D2H(s), D2X or D200. In preview extractor, clicing on "Shutter Count" opens a new, small window. Use the "Load Image" button, or drag and drop any image onto the window. It will tell you how many times the shutter of your camera have operated, since it was manufactured. The internal counter increases every time you take picture, acquire white balance, acquire dust ref. photo or shoot with no CF card.

There is a strange number in ASCII format in the header of Nikon DSLR images. It appears to be unique for every camera. Someone told me that it is the CCD serial number. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, this program also shows it to you.
Please do not ask me for D100, D1H, D1X or D1 support. I do not even know whether the shutter count exists in the raw files from such cameras.

Hmm...I would have thought there'd be an easy way, and what KR is saying there doesn't make sense 'cause my DSC # changes & resets after every file drop into my computer.

And I don't have a MAC.

Yes, I did, thanks!

I wrote someone a thanks as they had asked.....I had noticed it wasn't you, or thought so as it was sent semi-anonymously.

So, thank you VERY much! They are lovely.

I hope I get a chance to participate again....and have a little more notice & experience so I do better.

I think I found the counter in the advanced Exif data file info in Bridge or CS2.

I have to root around and try it out with some older images, but it seems to have recorded it where I could find it.
