Where to find Shutter Count for Nikon Camera?

I just tried Cena's method of Exporting the file to the desktop. When I click on it and press Command - I, the shutter count doesn't show up.

Please read my instructions ;-)

In Aperture: show in finder (if you don't have referenced files export the file to desktop(export as original file!), open with preview app.

Then bring up the info dialog (press Command-i) klick on the i-icon/tab, this will bring up a nikon-tab. Here you can find the shuttercount.

You must first open the image with preview.app! before you press command-i. Then click on "i-icon".

There is another way to show shuttercount from a Nikon on mac.

In Aperture: show in finder (if you don't have referenced files export the file to desktop(export as original file!), open with preview app.

Frank, my iMac computer didn't like the Phil Harvey download.

What didn;t like?

As for not seeing the Show in Finder menu item you will only see that on originals that are referenced. It won;t be active for managed originals.

Here is the message I am getting after the download. "Can't open DMG download because it is from an unspecified (or unknown) developer." The DMG file simply won't install.

Try rightklik the downloaded file and then select open. Maybe that will do the trick

That is probably caused by the security settings in your system preferences. If you want to install software from arbitrary websites, you have to set the "Security&Privacy" settings in the "gebneral" tab to "allow Apps downloaded from:" to "Anywhere". Set it back to safer settings after you ran the exiftool installer.

You will need exiftool, if you want to actually edit the EXIF, not only browse it.

I tried this directly from the Phil Harvey site, and from Softpedia.

Right since 10.8 Apple has made it harder for applications not purchased through the MAS to install on OS X. This is to increase security, if you mistakenly download something from the web it won't install without your explicit say-so.

It also makes it more difficult when you download a legitimate application. There are a few ways around this but the simplest is to go into System Preferences->Security & Privacy and set Allow apps downloaded from: to Anywhere then do the install. Once the install is complete you can set that back to whatever it was.

It not listed in any of the Aperture documentation or metadata. I know it doesn't display for Canon cameras.

I'd be surprised if Aperture displayed something so camera specific.

I don't think Aperture will show this. You probably need to use one of the Nikon applications to show this proprietary information.

ExifTool by Phil Harvey would display the information also.

It's a great tool, a bit intimidating at first, but if you work with digital images well worth the effort to learn it.
