In other words, I believe the R3, through its own menu and logging system, is only showing mechanical shutter actuations/release cycles.ġ. This is consistent with my non-use of the mechanical shutter, as actuations are only shown in 1,000-shot increments. Going into the R3’s menu (wrench icon, tab 5) and to “System Status Display”, the shutter actuations are shown on my camera as less than or equal to ( <) 1,000. Interestingly, the R3 itself doesn’t show Electronic Shutter actuations. The Shutter Count app reports the shutter count as less than or equal to ( <) 8,000.

I’ve not used the mechanical shutter once on the camera, but I’ve taken approximately 7,200 Electronic Shutter images.


I discovered that the Shutter Count app (available for MacOS) counts the R3’s electronic shutter “actuations/release cycles”.
