Find the Shutter Count Number of your Canon EOS DSLR, Nikon, Sony cameras. How many shots your Canon DSLR has taken? Establish the value of a used camera. This is a fairly short review by my standards, but it’s a simple app and everything has been covered! It’s still beyond me why Canon don’t just make this information readily available in the camera’s menu system, but it’s good to know that there’s a simple, cheap app out there that can help you out.

Canon Shutter Count Program
More information after the break.
ShutterCount displays the number of shutter actuations (the shutter count) of your Canon EOS digital camera. The shutter count is read directly from a USB-connected camera, and thus provides accurate numbers that are not attainable with simple EXIF-based methods.
With ShutterCount you can easily check whether a newly purchased camera is really new, or check how heavily used a pre-owned item is. And you can save a trip to a Canon Service Center by doing the reading for yourself.
The app provides unlimited readings for an unlimited number of cameras, so you can freely track actual camera usage. Even if you work for a rental house or just lend a camera to a friend.
ShutterCount only displays the shutter count for still photos – video clips recorded are not included in the number. For a separate mirror movement reading (that includes videos) you should consult an authorized Canon Service Center.
Note: for the best compatibility with your camera it is recommended to upgrade the camera’s firmware to the latest available version.
WiFi on the EOS 6D and 70D must be turned off as it blocks the USB port when turned on!
