[digiKam-users] Finding shutter count in exif

[J Albrecht]

exiftool

Here’s an excerpt from my personal notes:

Shutter Count with ExifTool

Fire up the shell terminal. Type  “cd /” in MacOS to be in the same folder where the ExifTool executable resides. Then type:
Nikon DSLR: exiftool source_jpeg_file.jpg | find “Shutter Count”
Canon DSLR: exiftool source_jpeg_file.jpg | find “Image Number”

Obviously, replace “source_jpeg_file.jpg” with the name of your actual JPEG file. The program should return something like this: “Shutter Count: 19889” or “Image Number: 19889” – the number to the right of the string is the total shutter count on the camera.

In Terminal:
enter
	exiftool -ShutterCount

drag and drop image into Terminal window

Example:
	exiftool -ShutterCount /Users/heviiguy/Pictures/Personal/June18/Post-Processed/_HVI2860\ .jpg

Specifically I am looking for the shutter count which I cannot find in what digikam shows, although online tools will show it from an uploaded jpeg.
