If the "Electronic Front-Curtain Shutter” (EFCS) is set to OFF (which seems to be the default for the A77MII), the shutter will fire twice for each picture. Besides white-balance bracketing, as Phil mentioned correctly, HDR or panoramas, there is another reason for the camera to count the shutter twice: Analyzing my photos made by both cameras, I realized the A77M2 always counted at least double the number of actual images made.
In spite of the fact that it took me some time to solve the issue, I agree 'ShutterCount' makes more sense! Suddenly, my program would report 0, so I tried debug without success, until I learned changed the name of the tag to 'ShutterCount' in Version 11.25(?). Not until recently, I found out some Sony cameras log the shutter count to the maker notes for my SLT A55V and ILCA-A77MII and ExifTool reports it as 'ImageCount'. I am left to wonder how people selling A7RIIs on Ebay are able to post a shutter count number. This is pretty strong indication that "image count" is at least something that increments with every exposure. Taking a look at the pictures in question, 387-389 are indeed the same building in a city, and then a change of scene to greenery coincides with 416. Boudewijn van der Drifts gear list: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Nikon Z7 Nikon Z6 Nikon Z 70-200 F2.8 VR +2 more. The electronic shutter lives 'forever', and is seldom used anyway. Sony_a7r_ii_zeiss_batis_25mm_65.txt Image Count: 416 I think these are mechanical clicks, a Z shutter is probably rated for 200 000, and shutter replacement is possible. Sony_a7r_ii_zeiss_batis_25mm_64.txt Image Count: 389 Sony_a7r_ii_zeiss_batis_25mm_63.txt Image Count: 388 Sony_a7r_ii_zeiss_batis_25mm_62.txt Image Count: 387 So running each via exiftool(-a -u -g1 -w txt -k).exe then searching the txt for "image count" we get nearly numerically ordered results: Both 750D and 760D are there.So we need to know, what is "image count"? Some minor detective work:Ĭhecking StarGeek's page to get Sony ARW files, I took four, & can see the page gives files that have a numerical order: Does anyone know more?Ĭould we ever read out the shuttercount of those devices? What would it take?Įdit: Here is a list of cameras supported by gphoto2.

But then again I constantly see people on the internet asking makers of software like this to "update to support my camera when?", and nobody ever seems to tell them "Never.". To me this sounds more like those cameras simply don't come with it. So this leaves me wondering, did Canon simply drop this property? I don't really see why gphoto2 would support those cameras and a ton of properties, except for the shuttercounter. And this gets me thinking, is this really a software issue? As in, the software we use to read.īecause both of those cameras connect just fine to gphoto2, and when I run gphoto2 -list-config I get a HUGE list with all kinds of configuration entires that I can read out, but no shuttercounter property there. Now recently I got hands on a 750D and a 760D, and neither have this property. What I do is basically run the following command: gphoto2 -get-config /main/status/shuttercounterĪnd that works for a lot of, especially older, Canon cameras. Whenever I get a Canon camera in my hands, I read out its shuttercount using gphoto2 on Linux.

So, I just saw this question and it got me thinking of something I stumbled upon recently.
