Support boundary
Mechanical shutter count, total shutter count and ImageCount are not interchangeable. Pocket Shutter shows the source field and confidence; ImageCount is a usage clue, not automatic proof of mechanical actuations. Last verified: September 5, 2026
Prepare an original file
- Take a new photo with the camera; keep the RAW file when possible.
- Copy it with a card reader, cable or original-file transfer.
- Avoid screenshots, thumbnails, messaging-app compression and edited exports.
If no count appears
- Confirm that the target camera created the file.
- Try the RAW original and check that EXIF and MakerNotes remain intact.
- Review the model limitation below; a missing count does not mean the camera is unused.
Used-camera checklist
- Match the model and body serial number to the camera being sold.
- Treat the count as one clue alongside sensor, shutter curtain, ports, repair history and a real shooting test.
