NX cameras shutter count?

Hi,

Is there a way to know what is the shutter count (of both stills and videos) of your NX500 without using a hack?

Thanks

Re: NX cameras shutter count?

Does the NX1 method work on the NX500? It's not hard at all to do.

I think it does, but I thought you can just tell by looking at the files name or number. Hmmm, I guess the files are for used card, right?

The NX1 method works also for the NX500.

It is very simple to do, just put the 3 files on the memory card via the USB cable and switch the camera on.

If you are finished remove the 3 files again and the camera is in original condition.

This worked for me, although for some reason on the NX1 there was no info for number of times the camera has been switched on (this worked for the nx500). Any idea why?

Re: NX cameras shutter count?

Thanks for the link. I just checked the NX500 I bought several months ago and it reads 1,156 shots. Over 10 years that's about 2 per week. Just like new still. Hopefully it stays alive as I bought a 16mm and 30mm prime lenses recently.
