Drop an ORF RAW file from your Olympus OM-D E-M10 and get the shutter actuation count in seconds — processed entirely in your browser, never uploaded anywhere.
Check Shutter Count →The Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014) was Olympus’s entry into the OM-D line, bringing the retro rangefinder styling, built-in EVF, and in-body image stabilisation of the flagship E-M5 to a lighter and more affordable body. It uses a 16.1 MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor, built-in Wi-Fi, 3-axis IBIS, and produces ORF RAW files. Olympus rates the mechanical shutter at approximately 100,000 actuations.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Rated Shutter Life | RAW Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olympus OM-D E-M10 | 2014 | 16.1 MP Live MOS MFT | ~100,000 act. (est.) | ORF |
| Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II | 2015 | 16.1 MP Live MOS MFT | ~100,000 act. (est.) | ORF |
| Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III | 2017 | 16.1 MP Live MOS MFT | ~100,000 act. (est.) | ORF |
| Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV | 2020 | 20.3 MP Live MOS MFT | ~100,000 act. (est.) | ORF |
The Olympus E-M10 does not display the shutter count in its on-screen menus. The count is embedded in the MakerNote of every ORF RAW file.
The E-M10 is a versatile everyday and travel camera. Its relatively low burst speed (8 fps) means most bodies accumulate actuations gradually rather than in large bursts. With an estimated lifespan of ~100,000 actuations, count assessment is straightforward.
| Actuation Count | % of Est. Life | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 10,000 | 0 – 10 % | Very low use — near new |
| 10,000 – 30,000 | 10 – 30 % | Low use — plenty of life remaining |
| 30,000 – 60,000 | 30 – 60 % | Moderate use — typical for an enthusiast body |
| 60,000 – 90,000 | 60 – 90 % | High use — negotiate price accordingly |
| 90,000 + | 90 %+ | Near or past estimated life — budget for shutter replacement |
The Olympus E-M10 writes images in Olympus’s ORF format — a TIFF-based RAW container with an embedded Olympus MakerNote. ShutterCount parses the IFD chain to locate the MakerNote block and reads the shutter count tag directly.
All processing happens in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
Olympus does not reliably embed the shutter counter in JPEG output files. Use an ORF RAW file for accurate results.
No. Art Filters and in-camera JPEG processing do not add mechanical shutter actuations. Only taking a new mechanical photo increments the counter. The E-M10’s Multi-Exposure mode will count each component exposure separately.
Shoot an ORF RAW file with your E-M10, then drop it into shuttercount.app. The metadata is read entirely in your browser — no upload needed.
Olympus has not published an official rating for the original E-M10. The commonly accepted community estimate is ~100,000 actuations based on the camera’s class and construction.
Only an Olympus authorised service centre can reset the hardware counter after a physical shutter replacement. EXIF-editing tools overwrite metadata but cannot alter the in-camera counter. Always verify from an original ORF RAW file.
The E-M5 (2012) is the semi-professional OM-D body with weather sealing, a more robust magnesium alloy chassis, better grip ergonomics, and higher burst speed. The E-M10 trades these for a smaller, lighter body at a lower price, while retaining the built-in EVF and IBIS that distinguish the OM-D line from Olympus PEN cameras.
In 2025, the original E-M10 offers excellent value as a compact mirrorless entry point with access to the full Micro Four Thirds lens ecosystem. Its 16 MP sensor delivers strong results at low ISO. The main limitations are contrast-detect-only AF (slower than phase-detection on modern bodies) and 3-axis rather than 5-axis IBIS.
