Except for this site I would have never know of "shutter count". I have a D5600 Nikon and I have looked at every feature on it, took shots and looked at any place showing it, I have two books on D5600 one by Busch and one for Dummies, neither mentions a shutter count nor how to achieve it. Is it available on Nikon D5600? and If so how to access it?

It's usually in the full EXIF. If you have an OOC Jpeg that hasn't been touched by processing (file unchanged from what was recorded by the camera) you can usually use this site... http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi ...to check the full EXIF for the shutter count.

Do not get all hung up on shutter count. Unless it is approaching 100,000.

The fastest and easiest way to get this is to put the camera on a jpeg setting, take a picture and look at the information on the picture when you look at it on the back viewfinder. It will look like this 3234/3234
That mean it is the 3234th picture of the 3234 shutter releases on that body.... hope that helps

For 99.8% of photographers out there, the shutter count is a meaningless number. Canon, for example, gives a shutter count of around 100,000 for most bodies, more for the top of the line 5D and 1D models. For the average photographer, they will most likely be trading up to a new body before they get halfway there. 100,000 is a lot of photos.

Second, that is just an arbitrary number. Canon doesn't make a big deal out the number and neither do other manufacturers. Most cameras are well made today and will last a considerable time.

Shutter count is NOT recorded in the body anywhere. It is recorded in the Exif data of each and every image taken with the camera. Just read the Exif data as previously stated, you will find it there easily.

How can the shutter count be recorded in the EXIF data if it is not recorded in the body somewhere? It may need tools to access it, as with Canon, but the camera has to pull the data out of some orifice or another, out of thin air doesn't fly as a concept. As a dealer you have a responsibility NOT to spread misinformation, which you seem to do quite frequently.

Maybe you should study cameras a little bit to understand what you are talking about. Nikons and Canons are very different and the shutter count is NOT retrievable from Nikon bodies in any way. It is ONLY retrievable from the image Exif data. You are getting more moronic all the time with your idiot accusations and unknowledgeable comments. Your lack of knowledge is GLARING!
