I think you can also divine the shutter count from the numbering sequence that the camera assigns to the frames you shoot. Since this is limited to four digits, however, it would only be accurate to 9999.

I'll give it a shot and thanks for the quick responses...!

Nikons all embed the actual shutter count in the Exif data of each and every image you take with them. A dead accurate shutter count is always readily available using any full Exif data reader. I recommend P.I.E. from Picmeta.com, its free and is the most complete Exif data reader on the market.

I just downloaded PIE and it works GREAT! Thanks a bunch and good shooting to you!

I couldn't get Nikonshuttercount to work, but PIE and Camreashuttercount.com both gave me the same number. Now well see if Nikon stands behind their products.

Thanks for the assistance!

If you still have Picassa you can look in Properties for it.

So why would shutter count have anything at all with Nikon standing behind their products????

I wanted the shutter count to go back to Nikon. Nikon previously replaced the shutter mechanism on my D750 due to a recall. Now I'm having issues again on the replacement and even though its beyond the 180 day warranty my shutter count is less than 15,000. No shutter should go with less than 15,000.

Sorry, but shutter failure can happen anytime. Just today I got back a customers Canon 7D MK II from Canon that suffered a catastrophic shutter failure at 15 months and only 6800 actuations. It cost her $388 for the replacement, Canon had no sympathy.
The best you can do is send it in, await their diagnosis, and request a free replacement based on the previous replacement failing.

Thanks for the information and that is not encouraging news. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but when you spend this much money, you expect quality and them to stand behind their products. I sent Nikon an email earlier today to politely expressed my frustration and how much I have invested in Nikon. If they are not stand behind their product and service, I'm probably not going to send my camera to them. There is a camera repair near my parents in PA, that will do it at their location for $275 plus return shipping and guarantee it for a year. I can drop it off over the holidays, when visiting and have it back in January. Thanks...Dan

Nope, bad info here - the numbering sequence has nothing to do with the shutter count, when the numbering sequence hits 9999 you are right it starts again at 0001, so HOW can it be used to track shutter count?

BTW - on most every Nikon made for the last decade or two, actual shutter count is embedded within the EXIF data of each image, if you look thru the EXIF you will find it tagged most likely as “image number”

On a Canon, many models require special software to read the shutter count directly from the camera though.

Here are lots of links. Try a few and select the one you like.

Get Irfanview (free) and also get the plug-ins for it. Start the program, open a photo, click on Image > Information > Exif info. Or you can just press I and/or E to get lots of info.
Get ExifInfo - also free. Unzip and get the icon onto the Desktop. Find a photo and drag it onto the icon. A window will open with loads of info. Look down the list for Shutter Count (or whatever they call it).
