![]() I checked again and indeed all electronic shutter actuations add to the total number. It seems the naming was changed in Exiftool version 11.25 and I was using an older one up until now. Subsequently I installed latest version of Exiftool (11.71) and the names of the 3 parameters I referred above are now "Shutter Count", "Shutter Count 2" and "Shutter Count 3". "Image Count 2" shows some values which I can't really understand, as that value is 7 digits in my case and vastly different between subsequent shots. There is also "Image Count 2" and "Image Count 3" in EXIF data, I see the same values in "Image Count 3" as in "Image Count 1", and it appears to be the count of exposures taken with mechanical shutter. I checked with exiftool directly from a few different shots.

My total count is in excess of 17K, but this is mainly shooting sports with electronic shutter, so the mechanical one is much less which makes my offer that much more attractive to the potential buyer. Hence my question, is there any tool out there to differentiate between the mechanical and electronic shutter? I did an experiment and shot electronic shutter exclusively for 2 days and to my surprise all those shots added to the cumulative shutter count. There are number of online tool available to fetch this number of the recent JPEG or RAW file, but they provide the total shot count of both mechanical and electronic shutter. UPDATE: This method seems to work for Nikons, but not Canons from the feedback I've received here and on another site that I'm on.I am attempting to sell my A7iii and get a lot of questions about the actual shutter count of my camera.
