![]() ![]() If you can not find a suitable unused metadata field to hold a copy of the shutter count value for a tokenized rename, consider an already used field temporarily and restore it after renaming. No need to copy files or delete a temporary session. Then use C1 to rename the files using the selected token that now holds a copy of the shutter count or possibly the full file name. C1 will see the renamed files in the permanent session as if they arrived with their "correct" filename.Ī different and possibly better approach is to use an application (iMatch?) that can read shutter count from the image EXIF and write the shutter count to a metadata field that C1 does have a token for. If your software can copy and rename on the fly, the filenames will not change in the temporary session. After session, rename the files, copy them to a permanent session and delete the temporary session. It may be better to shoot tethered to a temporary session. Renaming files behind C1's back is generally a bad idea. You already have an application (iMatch) that can read the shutter count from captured image files on disk and rename the files. Inconvenient and error prone, I would look for an alternative workaround. I can check the latest number on the computer and start the session form that. For Nikons I would probably replace (in the camera setup) the _DSC or DSC_part of the filename with a camera specific code and leave it at that. Multiple same model cameras could call for the serial number (token in C1) as well. I would probably prefer a static camera id, like the camera maker or model (token in C1). The shutter count is as good as any.Ĥ) You want the shutter count in the filename to know what camera produced the image ![]() It is quite common for image filenames to include a sequence number of some sort. I only check the shutter count on my cameras occasionally myself, and I never considered it for filenames. The shutter count is an obvious solution for that purpose. You want the shutter count in the filename to keep track when to service the camera, like a mileage counter in a car. Also, it is visually when I have to service the camera Looking at the information provided in your posts, it appears to me thatġ) You only need C1 to put the shutter count in the filename when you shoot tetheredĢ) You always use a C1 Session when tethered It may be nice for the manufacturers to know how well their shutters last for QC purposes but it's not really of any significance for anything else as far as I can see. I'm not really sure how useful it is anyway. Indeed on many it is not available at all other than to the official service centres. I don't think that this count is readily available on all cameras. And some models do not open this numbers at all. I use the Shutter Count number form EXIF.Īnd, yes, different models hs different parameter for this information. I assumed diver1's use of "Shutter Count" was referring to the number in the file name, 0001 of _DSC0001 for example, not the overall shutter count of the camera. Not really convenient way.Īs I typically HH:MM to the file name if I use more, than one camera per shoot, it is easy to visually know from which of cameras the image is. for sure, I can check the latest number on the computer and start the session form that. Also, it is visually when I have to service the camera. With Nikon I can get this information from the EXIF, so I started to use it. When I moved from film to digital, from Canon to Nikon & Fujifilm, I had to come up with the system However you could, most likely, use the Batch Rename facility to eliminate or otherwise change the name of the imported files after import. ![]() If so, no, currently there is no way to do that at import. So the function you need to influence is Import?Īnd you wish to use the camera allocated number from the file name but not the rest of the name? When I shoot with one camera, my typical file name structure is YYYYMMDD-XXXXX, where In what function do you wish to insert this count? Now I have to after shoot go through iMatvh and re-create the session to keep naming consistent iMatch lets me to rename images as I prefer. Not really critical for import as I use sessions for the commercial workĪnd, if I shoot to the card (not tethered) I use iMatch as the DAM software - it allows me to add some information to the images as well (Geo tags, for example). ![]()
