NPF = (35 × f-number + 30 × pixel pitch) ÷ focal length, with a pixel pitch of 4.76 µm (from 16.3 MP). The strict version (Michaud's detailed NPF for the galactic core) gives pin-point stars at 100% view; the 500 rule is a loose rule of thumb that shows trailing on modern sensors.

How to check the Fujifilm X-E2 shutter count

Fujifilm records an image counter (ImageCount) in MakerNotes on many X-series bodies; it counts frames rather than mechanical actuations. Run `exiftool -ImageCount image.raf`.

ExifTool tag: ImageCount. Always test an original, unedited file straight from the card.

FAQ

What is the crop factor of the Fujifilm X-E2?
1.53×. A 24 mm lens frames like a 37 mm lens on full frame.
What shutter speed should I use for the Milky Way with the Fujifilm X-E2?
With a 8 mm lens at f/2.8, about 30 seconds keeps stars sharp (NPF rule).
How do I check the shutter count on the Fujifilm X-E2?
