Knowing How SLR Camera Shutter Count
Shutter count is the sum total of how many times have you been getting on camera shutter on the dial so as to produce a single photograph. Why should we know the number of camera shutter count? Okay, some of the benefits we know the camera shutter count:

    
We know roughly how long the camera we can still work well. Camera shutter count as well as the count of how many miles a car / bike you have to walk. Mechanical work the camera, like other goods, also have age limitations, so that when the count reaches a certain shutter mechanism is likely the work function of the camera will be disrupted (damaged). Just a short addition: when we pressed the shutter, then some of the mechanical function will work in the camera until the camera can produce images. Mechanical function is composed of several components that are fairly fragile and of course has a service life limit. A good standard SLR camera is the shutter count reach about 100 thousand, so in total we can produce 100 thousand photos from a camera SLR cameras without mechanical damage. Even some top class camera can claim to reach 200 thousand shutter count without mechanical damage.
    
Very useful when we will buy a secondhand camera. Buying a used camera is a high-risk behavior (hence the price is much cheaper), but by knowing the number of camera shutter count that we will buy, at least we have to minimize the risk because we have so square off until when will the cameras used to be purchased can work well , so that when we can negotiate the price of the camera used more carefully.
