I'm not really sure how useful it is anyway. Indeed on many it is not available at all other than to the official service centres.

I don't think that this count is readily available on all cameras. And some models do not open this numbers at all. I use the Shutter Count number form EXIF.Īnd, yes, different models hs different parameter for this information. I assumed diver1's use of 'Shutter Count' was referring to the number in the file name, 0001 of _DSC0001 for example, not the overall shutter count of the camera. Not really convenient way.Īs I typically HH:MM to the file name if I use more, than one camera per shoot, it is easy to visually know from which of cameras the image is.

for sure, I can check the latest number on the computer and start the session form that.

Also, it is visually when I have to service the camera. With Nikon I can get this information from the EXIF, so I started to use it. When I moved from film to digital, from Canon to Nikon & Fujifilm, I had to come up with the system However you could, most likely, use the Batch Rename facility to eliminate or otherwise change the name of the imported files after import. If so, no, currently there is no way to do that at import. So the function you need to influence is Import?Īnd you wish to use the camera allocated number from the file name but not the rest of the name? When I shoot with one camera, my typical file name structure is YYYYMMDD-XXXXX, where In what function do you wish to insert this count? Now I have to after shoot go through iMatvh and re-create the session to keep naming consistent iMatch lets me to rename images as I prefer. Not really critical for import as I use sessions for the commercial workĪnd, if I shoot to the card (not tethered) I use iMatch as the DAM software - it allows me to add some information to the images as well (Geo tags, for example).
