EXIF file

I want to know the shutter count of a pentax camera(K100D) and the owner could only answer that it's in "the thousands"; I suggested to bring up the EXIF file.
how is that done?

There are a number of programs you can install that will read the EXIF. I believe there are some that work online. Try a Google search of EXIF Reader.

Once you locate a reader, you take a snapshot with your camera (usually a JPG), then load it into the reader (or upload the the online site.

If you have a problem finding one, you can post a shot here, making sure you select the "Store original." I will run it through mine for you.

Not all cameras make that info available. Try the sites below.

Get Irfanview (free) and also get the plug-ins for it. Start the program, open a photo, click on Image > Information > Exif info.

Or, 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).
