Continuous shooting number and shutter life

Shutter life refers to the number of single exposures. Continuous shooting consumes five cards, which means five times less life.

Suppose your shutter life is 60,000 times, and the number of days you use the camera every month is 10 day, 300 for single shot and 40 for continuous shooting (X5), then your camera shutter can be used for 60,000 ÷120 * (300+200) =1year.

Then you are a professional photographer. It is more economical to change the shutter once a year.

Suppose your shutter life is 60,000 times, you use the camera for 4 days every month, and the usage times are 100 single shots and 20 continuous shooting (X5), then your camera shutter can be used for 60,000 ÷ 48 * (100+100) = 6.25 years.

Then you are an amateur photographer. For six years, your camera has basically retired.

Don't worry, shoot.
