Shutter count question

[yeoboy]

I can see that folk are quoting the shutter count their camera`s have, My 500d is exibiting a file count of 316, As i bought it second hand I cant be sure if its correct, Is there a way to be difinitive.

download Opanda exif veiwer and read the exif information from your most recent shot. That will show it you

Ok, Thanks, I have downloaded but it displays an extrordinary amount of info, Any tips about where the info on shutter count is, sorry if its obvious, I have only looked at it briefly.

 

[boyfalldown]

it does - doesn't it. I'm sorry - no real idea for the canon ranges, but it will be obvious from the label

Hhhmmm,I have studied the info but there does not seem to be any ref; to the total shutter operations.

The shutter count is not available for Canon 500D cameras. Canon does not release that information in the exif data.

That'll be why I can't find it then lol...

 

[yeoboy]

That will be why I cant see it then.

You could try this,

eos shutter count

It's aimed at the 40/50D but should work on your model :shrug:

 

[philthejuggler]

AFAIK the following models can give a shutter count:

40D, 50D, 1D/s MK1 & 1D/s MK2

And these don't:

5D, 20D, 30D, 1DMK3

Even then it's 100% reliable - I think the count is altered on 1DMK2's if you restore the personal settings from a backup file.

Not sure on other bodies, sorry!
