#SHUTTER COUNTER BROKEN FULL#

The two largest (and most important) moving parts are the main reflex mirror (the mirror that allows you to look through the lens from the viewfinder and that swings up and out of the way when you take the photo) and the shutter. If that doesn't improve or clear it then it's repair time, which might be more expensive than the camera's worth. DSLR cameras, like the SLR cameras they replaced, have very few moving parts. I'd just wind the frame counter to 36 and spring the back open a few times. If not then the leverwind, shutter release and speed selector all need to be removed in order to lift the top-plate and gain access to the frame counter. Maybe working that little lever with a biro point or similar will sort the problem. (Most DSLRs have the option to shoot at 1/50th but not 1/48th, so if shooting 24 fps, set shutter speed to 1/50th). Once you have selected your JPEG image, enter. Save it to your computer, and upload it to this page by clicking the BROWSE button above.

To find out your cameras shutter count or total number of shutter releases, take a picture in JPEG quality (small basic settings). Taking pressure off the lever should cause it to pop out and reset the counter. They have implemented this feature on all their digital SLR cameras post 2005. There's a small lever set into the recess of the back light trap, with a corresponding 'pusher' protruding from the back. IIRC the frame-counter wheel is released to reset by opening the back. It's probably due to dirt or stiff lube accumulating in the frame indicator mechanism. Therefore anything rubbing on the disc, a bend in the disc or a weakening of the spring could cause this problem.

The frame numbers are printed on the perimeter of a thin aluminium disc that rotates almost 360 degrees during a full film winding. But the fact that it rolls over fairly regularly and there’s no way of knowing how many times that rollover has occurred, does pretty well limit it’s usefulness for most purposes.The frame counter on mechanical Nikons is returned by a weak spiral spring -similar to a clock spring- that gets tensioned as the film is wound on.

was rented out to other photographers If the camera was damaged or serviced. We don’t know how that is retained exactly. A shutter count tells you a lot more than how many times a used camera has. Of course none of this necessarily means the shutter count is also lost in these situations. But after that one incident the XT3 also behaved perfectly from there on in, and survived various deliberate tests where I removed the battery later on, so it really did seem to just need a good charge to get going. We understand that things can happen at any time, so you need a company that works all the time. None of my other Fuji’s, including the X-Pro2 I’d been using for two years had ever done anything similar. Is Your Counter Shutter Broken The staff of Accurate Door is available 24/7 to come out and fix your counter shutter door whenever it needs to be repaired. It freaked me out at the time as I’d also been very sceptical about the idea of an internal battery retaining these settings and assumed that - either way - there had to be something wrong with the camera. I actually swapped it for a second battery I already had charged, so it was next to no time without a battery, but all my settings had been lost and I was back to square one again. It was completely new, out of the box, I went through the setup etc for ten minutes and then realised I wasn’t going to get away without charging the battery. I experienced the “internal battery” issue with a brand new XT3 last year. which counts one frame every time the film advance lever winds the film.
