			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are curious about your own camera&#8217;s shutter actuations, are listing your camera for sale, or in the market for a used one, the number of shutter actuations is a measure similar to miles on a used car.  For some brands such as Nikon and Pentax, there is information stored in the EXIF data, Canon stores it in the camera, but you need software to pull it out, and Olympus has a secret handshake combination of buttons &#8211; Sony owners are out of luck.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the actuation count can be reset such as if a camera is sent to a shop for repair/refurbishing (e.g. replacing the shutter assembly).  Also, shutter counts are a rule of thumb.  I&#8217;ve seen 100,000 to 150,000 mentioned depending on the camera, but it&#8217;s dependent on the make and model and it&#8217;s an average life expectancy, not an absolute.  For more information on how to measure shutter actuations, see <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/finding-your-cameras-current-shutter-actuations?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DigitalPhotographySchool+%28Digital+Photography+School%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader">Finding Your Camera&#8217;s Current Shutter Actuations</a>.</p>
