D70 question

I am looking at buying a used D70, is there any way I can tell how many
pictures the camera has taken in total?

Thanks in advance,
Nicholas

If you can take a picture using the camera, in RAW format, the resulting
NEF file will contain a field in the MakerNotes called ShutterCount, and
that will contain the total number of shots taken, even if the file
numbering sequence has been reset.

I don't see any way to get to that field in Photoshop, but ExifTool will
read it.

A small program he

Will display the count from a D70 or D70S by opening a JPEG
from the camera. It does not work on NEFs.

Exiftool will also extract it from JPEGs as well as the NEF
files.

I'm wondering how much luck you will have in finding a used D70,
however. Let us know how that goes.

Good Luck,
Don.

Interesting comment. I don't know how to get to _any_ EXIF fields in
Photoshop (the latest version I have is CS) and the abbreviation "EXIF"
is conspicuously absent from its help index, so I am at a total loss as
to whether this is possible at all.

Am I correct in surmising that you indeed can get to several other EXIF
fields in Photoshop, and, if so, would you mind telling me how to do
it?

Wouldn't mind at all. If you go to "File Info", which is under the File
menu on the Mac version at least, you'll get a multi-panel info box where
you can view, and edit where applicable, the image metadata, including
EXIF (read-only), IPTC, XMP, etc. But not MakerNotes, apparently.

The File Browser in CS is another, perhaps more convenient way to view a
lot of EXIF data, and make your own notations if you like, esp. if you
are view a lot of images and want to peek at the data.

MakerNotes not apparent therein, nor does Edit history record for me.

That feature is apparently not available in Photoshop Elements 3.

Are you referring to PSE 3's ability to show any EXIF data, or just
MakerNotes and History of edits?
