The ShutterCount of my Nikon is at 65532 :shock:

What will happen after 4 more shots?

Code: Select all

@0x0000538=1336:<0X00A7=167> ShutterCount [ 4=LONG 1] = 65532
:roll:

How unproductive. Did they forget that their goods have to stop working exactly after the 2 year warranty. The counter is to high :twisted:
I'll vote that the camera will explode in your hand :lol:
But actually it should begin at the smallest value, in you case it should be 0

It started from 1 originally.

BTW:
I know the story of a 1980s BMW where the km counter got stuck at 297'600 km ! *

*) as far as I remember.

Overflow behavior is undefined, but a common one in these circumstances is max + x = x, so 65535 + 1 = 1.

OK, when I bring you the Tipro, I will take pictures when you hit the shutter button.

A kitten dies. Either something breaks, in which case you throw your camera and it just happens to hit a lamp-post, which falls over and lands on a kitten - or you are busy taking photos of a kitten in a watering can with your sepia filter on, and nothing happens - so in frustration (because you voted otherwise in your own poll and had bet your house on the results), you pick up the watering can and throw it into a nearby well, which is full of crocodiles. They eat the kitten but return the watering can.

Either way: a kitten dies. Mwahahaha.

Hey! I like explosions too so I want it to explode.

I used to mix hydrochloric acid with foil to make explode things :roll:

So, take few more pics an see what happens, I suspect the counter will actually go all the way up to 99999. Consumer devices usually behave like that, instead of exposing "short int" limits. For sure nothing bad will happen.
