CANON SHUTTER COUNT SOFTWARE FREE

So, i have decided to host it here with a few basic instructions.

After some searching and frustation i came across an app called EOSInfo.exe that did the job perfectly, however, i couldnвЂ™t find the owner and the homepage no longer exists. I am currently going through this process yet again and needed to determine the shutter count on my Canon 5D Mark III.

Some were free and now are not, some have been taken down, some point to apps that no longer work! All things considered its a bit of a pain to perform this simple task! Unfortunately what we have now are a multitude of blogs, articles and online sites that offer to provide this service.

The problem is that Canon never provided a way to find current shutter count natively (come on Canon!), so this opened the door to developers to use the Canon SDK to write their own way to do it. The digital picture did a great review of the 5D Mark III and also expected shutter usage for a number of cameras. Its a bit like the mileage on a used car, its not a primary factor in my buying decision but it helps me understand how the camera has been used and if it matches up to the buyers description! This is one of those things that annoys me greatly! Every time i come to sell or buy a used camera I want to know the shutter count. DonвЂ™t be alarmed by manufacturers life expectancy, with Canon Cameras that number is around 150.000 shutters, but I personally know EOS cameras that went way over 600.000 images and still counting.

If for some reason youвЂ™re not comfortable with using freeware tools, you can always send your DSLR to Canon and request a shutter count.
