I purchased my Fuji X-T3 about 2 years ago, used it a few times, and then I love the camera and kept hoping to go back to regular shooting, but it's just not happening, so I decided to find it a good home The problem is that the battery ran out of juice so Diverse frågor ago, the camera seems to have reset to original factory settings and the shutter count says 2 the 2 test shots I took after recharging the battery - It made me go through the initial setup after I popped the battery back in as if it were brand new out of the box.
My guesstimate is about clicks, but I want to be honest and accurate in my Craig's List ad. This came up recently. This link worked with my xh1. Thanks, but this takes me to the same page I mentioned in my original post, which returns to me the number of clicks since I recharged the battery and reset the camera.
The only way to get as close as possible to the real shutter count is to upload an image to the stated webpage that was taken as close as possible before the shutter count was reset. The webpage reads out the shutter count from the image data, so uploading an old image will give to the shutter count at the moment when the image was taken.
As far as I know, that is how all these shutter count sites and calculators work. If for some reason the camera mainboard is reset of flashed, there is no way to get the actual total shutter count from a recent image. There is no reliable way to get the shutter count from your X-T3.
I suppose some of the reason is that because of mirrorless operation, electronic shutter use, and movies, the concept of what constitutes a shutter click is fuzzy. I just traded in my X-T3 for a new X-H2s at my local camera shop. They ran their little utility and asked if I thought their Diverse frågor of clicks was right.
It almost seems like shutter count is irrelevant in modern cameras. Most of it is electronic and that doesn't really degrade with use. I just tried that greybeard on anX-T5 picture. I have no idea why that happened. Same SD card. I didn't do anything overnight and the camera was in the lounge where I'd left it.
But just know that the number you see on the next used Fuji you buy could be completely bogus. I have several times have a camera crash so completely that all settings including actuation count were lost and with a new set up started again at 1.
BUT: I've never read there is a way to let it show a number that would be credible for a camera of a certain age. 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.
