Count me in the “there’s no way to do it” camp. All these shutter count sites, including Apoleyt and Greybeard, read the shutter count from EXIF, but Fuji’s count there has never been reliable as it rolls over past a certain point.

It might be accurate, it might be 100k out, there’s just no way of knowing unless you personally know the history of the camera.

If you’re selling the camera and one of these sites gives you a credible looking number that can be screenshot for the sales listing, great. But just know that the number you see on the next used Fuji you buy could be completely bogus.

Its really a shame that FujiFilm chose to use a 16 bit counter in the EXIF.

A larger field wouldn't make its use foolproof (it would still be reset if the internal battery (capacitor) was removed or lost its charge) but it would have eliminated one of the primary reasons for the number rolling over.
