Reset shutter count on D80

[kurt78]

had my D80 fixed after an ERR display. only mirror mechanism was fixed/changed. shutter was not reset and now I have almost 300.000 shutter counts.

The non-volatile shutter count is stored in a camera chip. One way it is reset is when replacing that board with that chip. Possibly there are other ways, possibly when the shutter is replaced, but I think it is not revealed to us. The shutter count is NOT limited to 64K, shutter counts of 200,000 or 300,000 are not uncommon. 24 bits will store a count of 16+ million.

That's with a D80, but I've had a D50 that I've used a lot (more than 50.000), and when I sold it it said only 5.000 so in some way it went back to 0 without any replacement. Same with a D70s. Sure D80 added more bytes.

Ok, I just sold my D80 and it had about 80,000 clicks shooting in the exif data. Actually it was 79,000 plus. So that should lay the 64k theory to rest.
You can PM me on Facebook for more info, if you wish. At Alan Ophoto.
