Drop a RAF file from your Fujifilm GFX 50S II and get the shutter actuation count in seconds — processed entirely in your browser, never uploaded anywhere.
Check Shutter Count →The Fujifilm GFX 50S II is a 51.4 MP medium format mirrorless camera released in 2021. It brought medium format photography to a more accessible price point while retaining the large 43.8 x 32.9 mm sensor, in-body image stabilisation, and weather-sealed construction. It is widely used for landscape, portrait, and studio photography.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Rated Shutter Life | RAW Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fujifilm GFX 50S II | 2021 | 51.4 MP medium format | ~150,000 actuations | RAF |
| Fujifilm GFX 100 II | 2023 | 102 MP medium format | ~150,000 actuations | RAF |
| Fujifilm GFX 100S II | 2024 | 102 MP medium format | ~150,000 actuations | RAF |
The GFX 50S II does not display the shutter count in its menus. The count is embedded in every RAF file as part of the MakerNote metadata.
When buying a used GFX 50S II, ask the seller to provide an original, unedited RAF file shot recently for the most accurate reading.
The Fujifilm GFX 50S II is rated for approximately 150,000 actuations. Medium format cameras are typically used at a slower pace than APS-C or full-frame bodies. Here is a general guideline:
| Shutter Count | Assessment |
|---|---|
| 0 – 5,000 | Very low use — near new |
| 5,000 – 20,000 | Light use — excellent condition |
| 20,000 – 60,000 | Moderate use — well within rating |
| 60,000 – 150,000 | High use — approaching rated life |
| 150,000+ | Beyond rated life — shutter replacement may be needed |
The Fujifilm GFX 50S II writes images in Fujifilm's RAF format. RAF files contain an embedded JPEG with full EXIF metadata, including the Fujifilm MakerNote. ShutterCount parses this structure and reads tag 0x1438 (ImageCount), which holds the cumulative shutter actuation count.
The same tag is used across all modern Fujifilm bodies, from the compact X100 series to the flagship GFX medium format line.
Shoot a RAF file and drop it into shuttercount.app. The image count is read from MakerNote tag 0x1438 in your browser — no upload needed.
Formatting the memory card does not reset the shutter count. The counter is stored in the camera's firmware and written to each RAF file at capture time.
The MakerNote ImageCount tag reflects the camera's internal counter. While basic EXIF fields can be edited, tampering with the MakerNote is uncommon and difficult. Always verify from an original RAF file.
Both use the same MakerNote tag 0x1438. The GFX 100 II has a 102 MP sensor (vs 51.4 MP), phase-detection autofocus, and 8K video. Both are rated for ~150,000 actuations.
