Fujifilm X100S Shutter Count:
Why the Tool Returns No Count

ShutterCount does not return a shutter or image count for the Fujifilm X100S. The X100S RAF file we tested does not contain the image counter our parser reads. Dropping an X100S RAF still shows the camera model, firmware version and capture settings — processed in your browser, never uploaded.

Why There Is No Count for the X100S

The Fujifilm X100S (2013) succeeded the original X100 with a 16.3 MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor with on-sensor phase-detection pixels, a fixed 23 mm f/2 Fujinon lens (35 mm equivalent) and the hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder.

ShutterCount reads Fujifilm counts from one place only: RAF MakerNote tag 0x1438, which ExifTool calls ImageCount. ExifTool's own source notes that this tag appeared with X-T1 firmware version 3, in 2014 — after the X100S was released. We have confirmed the tag on real files from the X-T1…X-T5, X-T30, X-E4, X-H2/H2S, X-S20, X100F, GFX50S II and GFX100 II, where ShutterCount matches ExifTool 13.59.

For the X100S, a visitor sent us a full-size RAF written by firmware “Digital Camera X100S Ver1.20”. Its MakerNote is intact (35 tags), but tag 0x1438 is not among them. On 28 October 2026 neither ExifTool 13.59 nor ShutterCount returned a count from it.

Later firmware: we have only examined an X100S file from firmware Ver1.20. Whether any later X100S firmware writes tag 0x1438 is unknown and unverified — we have no file that shows it either way.

What ShutterCount Shows for an X100S RAF

  1. Take a photo with your X100S in RAW or RAW+JPEG and locate the .RAF file.
  2. Open shuttercount.app in any modern browser.
  3. Drag the RAF file onto the drop zone, or click to open a file picker.
  4. The result shows the camera model, firmware version, capture settings and, where the file carries it, lens information — but no shutter or image count for this body.

The file is parsed entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded. The firmware version it shows is worth noting if you want to send us a sample (see below).

Checking a Used X100S Without a Shutter Count

Fujifilm service. An authorised Fujifilm service centre is the most direct route to the camera's internal counter. Ask in advance whether they can read it for the X100S as part of an inspection or service, and what it costs.

Condition checks. Without a number, the camera's condition tells you more:

Leaf shutter: the X100S uses a leaf shutter built into the lens, alongside the aperture blades, rather than a focal-plane shutter in the body. Testing several shutter speeds and apertures exercises both.

The file number in the name (DSCF1234.RAF) is not a shutter count: it is a four-digit file counter that rolls over after 9999 and can be reset.

We have not found a shutter-life rating published by Fujifilm for the X100S, so this page gives none.

Help Us Verify the X100S

If you own an X100S, an unedited RAF file — ideally from a firmware newer than Ver1.20 — together with the count reported by a Fujifilm service centre, if you have one, helps us verify what the camera stores. Send it to samples@shuttercount.app. We can't promise it will lead to support for this body.

Fujifilm X100S Shutter Count — FAQ

Can ShutterCount read the shutter count of a Fujifilm X100S?

No. ShutterCount reads Fujifilm counts only from RAF MakerNote tag 0x1438 (ImageCount). A full-size X100S RAF written by firmware Ver1.20, with its MakerNote intact, does not contain that tag, and on 28 October 2026 neither ShutterCount nor ExifTool 13.59 returned a count from it. The tool still shows the camera model, firmware version, capture settings and, where present, lens information.

Would a later X100S firmware add the image counter?

We don't know. The only X100S file we have examined was written by firmware Ver1.20, and we have not verified whether any later X100S firmware writes tag 0x1438. If you have an unedited RAF from a newer firmware, sending it to samples@shuttercount.app helps us check.

How can I find out how many shots a used X100S has taken?

Ask an authorised Fujifilm service centre whether they can read the camera's counter as part of an inspection or service, and confirm availability and cost with them first. Otherwise judge the camera by its condition: test the shutter and aperture across their range, check both viewfinders, the lens and the rear screen, and ask the seller about the camera's history.

Is the DSCF file number a shutter count?

No. The number in the file name (for example DSCF1234.RAF) is a four-digit file counter. It rolls over after 9999 and can be reset, so it says little about how much the camera has been used.

What is the rated shutter life of the Fujifilm X100S?

We have not found a shutter-life rating published by Fujifilm for the X100S, so this page gives no figure. Numbers quoted elsewhere are not manufacturer data. The X100S uses a leaf shutter built into the lens, not a focal-plane shutter in the body.

What is the difference between the X100S and X100T?

The X100T (2014) keeps the X100S's 16.3 MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor and fixed 23mm f/2 lens. It adds an electronic rangefinder view inside the optical viewfinder, the Classic Chrome film simulation and an electronic shutter. What ShutterCount returns for the X100T is covered on the X100T page.
