Samsung Nx Shutter count

[spilnger]

Hey nx users, I've tried some website for how many shots my nx2000 has taken, but i couldn't find any nx system supported website. Do you know where can i look for it?

Sorry, I don't think that information on how to get the NX2000 shutter count is available anywhere (except for the Samsung engineers that programmed it). I could be wrong though. You could try looking through the publicly available open source portions of the code for clues, but I think one would probably need to delve into the camera application, which is not included.

edit: I believe this is the most recent info on the topic: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/53999266

Doesn't the following from a command line work? exiftool -shuttercount yourimage.jpg . Or photome software. More of a question than an answer since I don't know myself.

I don't think it does, at least last I heard the shuttercount isn't being written to the exif data on the more recent NX cameras.

I did a search for 'shutter count' and ten months ago there was a post in the Sony forum that contained this sentence;

I used the 9.45 release of exiftool and tested on some A7 & A7R files I found as follows:

exiftool -imagenumber -imagecount -shuttercount testphoto.jpg

This command would yield a shutter count when others wouldn't. Maybe it would work for the newer NX cameras as well.

I recently by accident discovered a way to get log files dumped to the memory card: Press and hold home button and press in the top dial until the green focus light comes on. Now on the root of the card you have some log files. Mine looked like this:

20141007_134827_dlog.inf
20141007_134827_log.inf

If you open the one with "dlog" in its name and search for "shut" you can see this line:

SHUTTER RELEASE COUNT : 2488

I'm not sure if that's the total shutter count or the current file count - that's for someone else to discover, but it's an option.

Edit: Well, it's about 50 shots more than the most recent image taken so that could account for some factory testing shots. So this seems to be a legit way to find out.

Wow. Looks promising.

Sorry, could you better describe which button this is. On the NX300 the menu button goes home... but if you're already at home it goes to the menu, is this the button you mean?

and press in the top dial

... You shouldn't be able to press in the dial should you? It's only supposed to turn.

until the green focus light comes on.

?

Now on the root of the card you have some log files.

Are generating a lot file by causing a camera malfunction by pressing in a dial too far that's not supposed to be pressed in?

His camera is the nx2000 which apparently has both a home button and a top dial that can be pressed.

Indeed - since the top question was about a NX2000 my reply was as well.

I discovered this by trying to find a key combination to take a screenshot. Since on Android, for example, it takes long pressing two keys I did the same with nearly all key combinations (which on the NX2000 isn't too many, luckily) until the focus assist lamp came on. Later I discovered the log files and realised what caused them to appear.

I suspect the other cameras probably have something similar - try long pressing two buttons together and see what works.

Ah sorry, I foolishly assumed the buttons would have been direct analogues between models.

Can you be more clear about what you press or dial? What is the home button? The green focus light?
