Shutter release count for my cameras (Ricoh, Samsung, Sony, Pentax)

It is useful to know the number of shutter releases (shutter count) for a camera.

Ways for my cameras.

1. My Ricoh and Samsung cameras don't store the shutter count in EXIF, so a developer menu should be used.

Ricoh GR menu

Samsung NX10/NX100 menu

Samsung NX300/NX300M/NX500 menu

2. I don't know how to access the developer menu on the Samsung NX2000. But the shutter count is accessible from the log.

3. My Pentax and Sony record the shutter count in EXIF. I use ExifTool to access this information.

The Sony a7c:

$ exiftool DSC08806.ARW | grep "Shutter Count"

Shutter Count                   : 882

Shutter Count 2                 : 882

Shutter Count 3                 : 882

(I use full electronic shutter most of the time, so the [mechanical] shutter count is so small)

The Pentax K-m:

$ exiftool IMGP4699.PEF | grep "Shutter Count"

Shutter Count                   : 18225

Or use exiftool -ShutterCount filename.ext (and ShutterCount2, ShutterCount3 for the Sony a7c).
