How to check the shutter count on the Nikon Z6II
The shutter count is the number of photos a camera has taken. It's the first thing to check before you buy a used Nikon Z6II, and worth adding to your listing when you sell one.
How to check the shutter count on the Nikon Z6II
- Take one photo with the camera (ideally in NEF format) and copy the original file to your computer or phone.
- Open the Reti shutter counter and add the file.
- You'll see the shutter count, the shutter wear rating and whether the camera has the latest firmware.
Nikon mirrorless cameras store the mechanical shutter count and the total number of shots separately. The first one is what matters.
