i've downloaded that - but where does it show the shutter count?

 

[Dman]

The tabs across the top, choose the EXIF one, then look towards the bottom for Total shutter actuations, or something like that.

It stumped me at first as well.

 

[stokecity_m]

nope - can't see it on mine

does the image still need to be "in" the camera?

 

[Snownation]

Use a jpeg.

 

[stokecity_m]

Use a jpeg.

i did

 

[Dman]

Just open a jpeg file within the software, then click on the second tab along and scroll to the bottom of the data shown.

Really? I'm sure a friend of mine used it with his.

I believe it has to be a jpeg shot straight from the camera, not a RAW that's been converted.

There was software out to reveal the count on a 1DII but it was fairly unreliable/inconsistent.

Try 1Dcount, available from the bottom the page here:

http://www.foxbat.me.uk/myDownloads.php

Works on jpg or RAW.

I used the normal EXIF viewer app I downloaded for my Mac, that worked fine on my 1DII, but it had to be a jpg I think (The shutter died at about 100k)

tried to down loads this and it tries to open up in word but cant as some of it is missing.

 

[Robert Davies]

It's a zip file that needs unzipping.

Just right click on the file and extract it in Windows.

If you're still stuck, and want to try 1dcount, I can email you a copy - it's freeware and small 270kb ish zipped.

isnt it only certain canon sensors that these shutter count programs work on?

nothing works on my 20D

 

[Craikeybaby]

The 1DII embeds the shutter count into the meta data, the 20D doesn't.

cheers rob i have got it working but it says cant find a activation count on jpeg.

down loaded photome but cant see where it says shutter count .

Opanda dont think that can be right as it is showing my 50d as 60,000 and its only 3 months old and more like under 1000.:thumbsdown:

thatll be why it doesnt work then..

 

[Robert Davies]

down loaded photome but cant see where it says shutter count .

Open Photome, look at the bottom of the screen, there's a 'find' box. Start typing 'shutter' into that box, and all should be revealed
