Canon Eos 600d Shutter Count Software For Canon

Excellent tool! Does exactly what it is meant for. And users complaining that it doesnt work wit Canon XYZ should read the docs. Something that users should be aware of: when you brought your camera to Canon Service it might happen that the shutter count is being reset, e.g. when major parts like the mirror box has been replaced. Used it with a 1DMIV and a 5DMIII

This program has helped me a lot when I was buying Canon DSLR on a second market. Shutter counter rules forever.
This is exactly what i was looking for to check shutter count on my new used 7D. And being able to update other info and sync the time is fantastic. Thank you.

Shutter Count Number is important – A DSLR’s shutter will eventually fail

Just as with any piece of mechanical equipment, a camera has a lifetime that is based on the number of shutter actuationsotherwise known as shutter clicks or the shutter count. Sooner or later, your DSLR’s shutter will wear, slow down and eventually stop functioning. At this point, you may either need to have the shutter replaced or purchase a new camera.

I asked Canon Customer Service (sic!) the same question. They replied: 'In response to your enquiry regarding the shutter count for your EOS 600D, please be advised that Canon treats this information as confidential and are therefore unable to provide this information'. Canon Rebel T3i (EOS 600D & Kiss X5). Doesn't report the shutter count. But he did mention that EOS Info should work with DiGIC 4 based dSLRs, including the 5D Mk. Canon eos 600d Shutter Life Database. Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i / Kiss X5 Shutter Life Direct link to this page: Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i / Kiss X5. Shutter count and more for your canon eos dslr. EOSCount allows you to read a shutter counter from a Canon EOS DSLR (DIGIC III and later) camera. It can also sync a camera clock to your PC's clock. Reasons to retrieve a camera's shutter count include. Your EOS Rebel T3i/600D falls into the group that allows the remote control application to access the camera's shutter count for still images taken with the camera. Live View actuations are not reported via the remote control interface.

Usually, you’ll have to take a couple hundred thousand photos before this happens though, and Canon has allegedly released a particular shutter actuation threshold to indicate the number of shots expected for each EOS model before the shutter fails. Typically this count is between 100,000 and 300,000 shutter actuations, with the latter limit associated with the EOS-1D models. In fact, the Camera Shutter Life Expectancy Database is a really neat user-based site for DSLR models of several brands, including Canon. There you can find out the average life expectancy for your EOS model(s).

Interestingly, there’s no official Canon based application to find the shutter count for an EOS DSLR, however, there are a few free online tools that may help you to do this. There’s no tool that works seamlessly for all EOS models, let alone on both Windows and Mac platforms. But for the most part, there’s a utility available for your EOS model. ~~All~~ Most of these utilities are free, and if you can spare, donate to the developers. They’ve helped us photographers out a lot.

Freeware Utilities for finding shutter count:

40DShutterCount & EOSInfo

40DShutterCount Utility (Version 2) – developed by Astrojargon, was originally for the EOS 40D, but it can work with other EOS models. Mac users can utilize this version, and the newer version, EOSInfo, is currently only for Windows users. The utility is free and will work on most EOS models. It is stated on the Astrojargon website that:

“The shutter count information is available *only* on Canon DIGIC III/IV DSLRs *except* the 1D* series.”

Though this disclaimer is given, users have reported that the utility has worked with the EOS-1D Mark IV model. Nonetheless, based on the statement, the compatible EOS models are:

EOSCount

EOSCount – is was a freeware utility developed by Sergey Vasilevskiy that:

“…allows you to read a shutter counter from a Canon EOS DSLR (DIGIC III and later) camera. It can also sync a camera clock to your PC’s clock.”

If you’re not sure what kind of sensor your EOS has, then you can check it out on Astro Photography Tool’s “Canon EOS models matrix“. To make is easy for you, the EOS models that will most likely work with EOSCount are:

Internet Explorer (32 bit) is the recommended browser for EOSCount, from which you will need to install the ActiveX control which will read the data directly from your camera which needs to be connected to your PC via USB. Google Chrome can also be used to utilize EOSCount, but you’ll have to browse using the IE tab plug-in.

Magic Lantern

Magic Lantern– may work for some EOS, including the 550D (Rebel T2i). All you need to do is install Magic Lantern on your EOS, press MENU and then DISP. The shutter count will appear at the bottom of the screen. Magic Lantern shutter counter as Magic Lantern in whole is completely FREE.

Shuttercount App for Mac users

ShutterCount is an iOS App which gets it all very simple. The shutter count can be read from a USB-connected camera and it provides accurate data that can not be attainable by for example reading the EXIF.
With the ShutterCount app you can test whether a new camera is actually new or just check an already used camera to see if the pre-owner claims are true and there is no count limit with this app but it counts only still photos taken – (no video recordings counted). Supported cameras are:

Camera Shutter Count

Camera Shutter Count – Even though Canon doesn’t have shutter count included on the EXIF information of an image file, as opposed to Nikon, camershuttercount.comutilizes the latest unedited image to give an approximate number of shutter clicks. It is almost guaranteed to work with images from EOS-ID models among a few other EOS models. The most likely compatible EOS models are:

1D-Count Online

1D-Count Online – from Foxbat Photography, is exclusively for EOS-1D models except the Mark III or later versions. The utility is available for download or can be utilized via the online version. The shutter count is read from the latest JPEG or RAW file.

Final thoughts…

It makes sense to know your shutter count, even if it’s an approximation, so as to have an idea what may be left of the shutter. This information is especially useful to a person who wishes to buy a used or refurbished DSLR. The camera may look brand new on the outside, but the state of the shutter can be a different scenario. Some persons may ask, “Why not just use the image count on the camera instead of using a utility?” This can work, but what happens when the image count is reset? Therefore, it’s a good idea to find a more foolproof way of knowing the shutter count. If for some reason you’re not comfortable with using freeware tools, you can always send your DSLR to Canon and request a shutter count.

Nikon Shutter Count Software

Don’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. It all depends on how you treat your camera.

It’s easy to think that because your shutter may die you now need to be restrictive with taking shots. But then again, what artist is restrictive in his/her creations? What’s recommended is to somehow make your camera ‘pay for itself’, even if you are an amateur and/or not necessarily into the business of photography. Relax and stop finding excuses not to make more images, now shoot ;)
