Clandrel Posted December 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is there anywhere to find the shutter actuations on the camera? Best Claus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Hi Clandrel, Take a look here M8 shutter actuations. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
becker Posted December 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2009 If I understand right you mean the numbers of Shutter movements, if so no- you have to use ext software to get it out- cornerfix. KR MB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clandrel Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted December 17, 2009 Wow... Mine has only 400. I bought my M8 as a demo from a store... Good to know:) Claus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted December 19, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 19, 2009 Just be aware of the fact that the number isn't set back to zero after a shutter replacement. My M8 has had the silent shutter installed, but the unique image ID was not reset when that was done. Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to convert from hexadecimal. Thanks for the info, Bill. I just tried it with my M8 and found that the camera's counter is off by 174 frames. Must have happened when I used a new SD card without formatting first. Admittedly, 174 frames is nothing, but it's nice to know what the actual count really is.

Max Alfy Posted December 22, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The actual actuation number of every actuation is embedded in the file and can be read in hexadecimal in the metadata (EXIF), in Bridge or ACDSee for instance. It is labeled “Image Unique ID”, and reads something like 0000000000c5, 5r0, etc. Only the last non-zero digits indicate the absolute number of the picture, expressed in hexadecimal. There are tools on the web which can convert this number into its decimal equivalent. But it is easy to decipher it yourself. Hexadecimal means “base 16” (decimal is base 10). Decimal requires 10 digits: 0, 1, 2, ….9 Hexadecimal requires 16 digits which are: 0, 1, 2, ….9, a, b, c, d, e, f In decimal, each digit indicates how many powers of 10 it represents: “1980” indicates 1x1000 + 9x100 + 8x10 + 0 By the same token, in hexadecimal each digit or letter(a to f) indicates how many powers of 16 it represents. For instance, the first capture with my M8 was 000000068, that is 6x16 + 8 = 96 + 8 = 104, meaning that 103 actuations took place during manufacturing. If you are looking at a second-hand M8, you may read something like: 2cf4 This translates as 2x4096 + 12x256 + 15x16 + 4 = 8192 + 3072 + 240 + 4 = 11,508 actuations. Another example: f001 = 15x4096 + 0x256 + 0x16 + 1= 60441 actuations. I wouldn’t buy it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted December 23, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 23, 2009 Very cool...my new M8 (0000028D) has only 653 actuations. Virtually a virgin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottocrat Posted December 23, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 23, 2009 Mine also only had 500 actuations when I bought it. Who are these people who spend all that money on a camera and then barely use it?? Works out at around £4 per shutter release... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmichaelsnr Posted April 23, 2011 Share #10 Posted April 23, 2011 Mine says 886 (Digital). Is this a lot or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmichaelsnr Posted April 23, 2011 Share #11 Posted April 23, 2011 I've just had a thought. My M8 is an M8u. Would Solms have zeroed the count when they changed the shutter for the M9 model? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted April 23, 2011 Share #17 Posted April 23, 2011 It's not all that uncommon to append the letter "H" (upper or lower case) to a number to denote that the number is to be taken to the base of 16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
