If you have never seen slow motion capture of a DSLR flipping the mirror up, releasing the shutter, and then flipping the mirror back down, you have to check out this excellent Inside a Camera at 10,000fps video from the Slow Mo Guys on YouTube. When you start shooting that mirror has to flip up and when you stop it flaps back down. Same goes for shooting video using a DSLR. Not only does that mirror flap up and back down every time the shutter button is pressed, it flaps up when you press the button to enable Live View and back down when you turn it off. In fact, this can happen even if the mechanical shutter inside your camera wasn’t actuated since digital cameras have supported Live View (when you see the scene on the back LCD) and video recording for quite some time. One shutter press makes one open and close happen.įor DSLRs this also means the mirror flaps up and down once, something that is also important to know. Kind of a funny way to word things, but that is the language used to describe the event of your pressing the shutter button on your camera that leads to the shutter inside your camera opening and closing. Let’s start by defining what we actually mean by a shutter actuation. So maybe some of you won’t find this episode very interesting, but I hope you will hear me out as to why I think shutter count matters. Now this isn’t something that will make you a better photographer. Shutter count, more specifically the shutter actuation count, is something that I think every photographer should know about.

Others here may wish to voice their own opinions. I respect your opinion in saying it's not important, but in my opinion, I think it's very important to know the shutter count and I'm sure I am not the only one. Imagine the uproar if vehicle manufacturers decided that it's not important enough to have an odometer new vehicles. Just like when buying a car, the odometer reading could be a part of your decision in whether you make the purchase or not. If you had the choice of purchasing one of two used cameras (both in excellent condition) and knowing that one had 120,000 actuations and the other had only 25,000 actuations, it would safe to assume that the camera having the lower amount of actuations would form part of the decision as to which camera you would consider. ![]() I'm noy quite understanding of your statement "I really don't see a lot of interest in knowing the count". In video mode or during a live mode photoshoot, video frames are not affected by the mechanical shutter but controlled by software which acts as an "electronic shutter" just like a video recorder, which as we know doesn't have a mechanical shutter. I'm sure video recording on a DSLR including mirrorless, is only one shutter opening.
