Fuji doesnвЂ™t seem to publish this number for any of its cameras, but the others seem to make it available. Over the years the shutters in different camera bodies have been rated to support as few as 50,000 actuations up to as many as 500,000 actuations. Not all shutter mechanisms are created equal. Testing shows on average how long the shutter mechanism lasts and that is the number they give us in the marketing materials when the camera is released. Like nearly everything mechanical this shutter count rating is based on the mean time before failure (MTBF). Some camera manufacturers include in the marketing information the number of shutter actuations the shutter in the camera is rated to support. Like everything mechanical that moves and is put under stress it will fail. Shutters DonвЂ™t Last ForeverДЄs amazed as I am by the engineering feat of the shutter in our digital cameras, it is still a mechanical thing that moves and is therefore placed under stress every time you press that shutter button. It is incredible to me that we have engineering so competent to make these mechanical pieces move both quickly, precisely, and consistently. I am amazed the mirror and shutter curtains work at all. 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 wasnвЂ™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.ДЇor 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. LetвЂ™s start by defining what we actually mean by a shutter actuation. So maybe some of you wonвЂ™t find this episode very interesting, but I hope you will hear me out as to why I think shutter count matters. Now this isnвЂ™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.
