I have looked around the site but haven't been able to find an answer to:
what is the command line to extract the number of images taken by a Sony Alpha A77 camera.

Very grateful for any help.

TIA

I downloaded an A77 sample from https://raw.pixls.us/ and took a look.  It had ImageCount and ImageCount3 but the numbers were not in sync.  So you can try ImageCount tags, but they may not be totally accurate.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

Many thanks. I tried the tags suggested, and finally discovered that they work on .arw files but not on .jpg!
