Is there a way to know shutter count

[lv6l]

Is there a way to know the exact shutter count on a Nikon D40? The camera's picture count option in menu has been reset but is there a way to know exactly how many times the shutter's been flip. Thanks.

http://www.photome.de/ this'll do it, but if i remember correctly, only if you open a RAW file with it

Edit: works with a DNG file too, look under "manufacturer notes" for shutter count

Edit: works with SOME jpeg files too, lol

Hey, thanks for all the inputs. I did a quick search in Google and found this one software. Its called "Opanda IExif" It's a free ware and I test it out with my D40 and D80. It both works. Easy to use. Just open an un-edit picture and scroll down the screen to "shutter count" It works with JPEG images. I have not tried RAW.

I tried Opanda in the past, it works with Nikon raw (NEF), files.

My D40 and D80 works with JPEG files. I'm sure it will work with raw. I tried my Nikon P3 and no luck.

this is the only method that will work on my D50 and only with NEF files
