If you find it hard to find your camera model, use the search tool in your browser and type your Canon model. Uploading an image to a webpage to get the shutter count doesn’t work with Canon cameras post EOS 1Dn II/EOS 1Ds II.ĭo you wonder if the software below will show you the correct shutter count? Well, I have sent my 6D and 7D to Canon and the shutter counts I got from Canon are the same as I got from Magic Lantern, But Magic Lantern also showed me the Live view count.Īnyway, here are some links to different software with the ability to show you the shutter count. That means you either need to send the camera to Canon or use a 3rd part software.
#What is a shutter count how to#
Have you ever wondered how to find the shutter count from your Canon? Since the days of Canon EOS 1Dn II and 1Ds II Canon hides the shutter count inside the camera. I might have those wrong (which of the 2 is in the EXIF), but it definitely has two of them, from which the third can be derived.If you like this artice, then also check the maximum write speed of your Canon, How to get rid of hot pixels on a Canon camera or troubleshooting your Canon.
#What is a shutter count full#
Do a full dump of the EXIF tool and you should get a) the total count, and b) the mechanical count from that you can derive c) the electronic count. PS: I have never heard anyone claim that the electronic shutter doesn't count against the total.Īs you may have already seen, there's another post of mine in this thread that gives a link to the tool.īut you can do it yourself with the exiftool.exe tool (or any EXIF extraction tool you find on the interwebs). Most of the electronic shooting is on interval and other silent mode shooting (bracketing, for instance). So I've taken more than the life's count total, but less than 20k towards the actual mechanical life.
I do a lot of interval shooting in silent photography mode, which despite some claims actually DOES count towards overall shutter actuation.īut not the the mechanical shutter count, which is what counts towards the 200k life that juanj1964 mentioned. What is your shutter count & do you think the D850 will be your camera for the time being?ġ30,000 give or take. For me, it is everything I need in a camera. With an expected life of 200,000 I think the D850 will be my camera for a long time. I have had my D850 since the February 2018 timeframe and currently my shutter count is 24,195.
By the time the lens line up will be there the top Z cameras will likely will meet or exceed my expectations. They are very good and trustable for my bird and wildlife work. I suppose that I haven't yet gained proper insights on the subject.Īnyhow, since the second part of my listed factors is not fulfilled yet I am going to use the D850 / D500 combo for the foreseeable future. That doesn't mean that the opinion of impartial testers' findings are not true. I find that many of the "experts" are sounding like sales people for the brand's mirrorless line. Yes, I think that in a couple of years the long fast tele line up will be there.Īs of the AF performance? Well, I do not know. I shall only switch to mirrorless when a 500mm f4E lens will be available with the Z mount or a 600mm f5.6 PF will be made for the native mount. I use the 500mm f4E FL and the 500mm PF a lot, often with the 1.4x TC III. Second, it is the long telephoto line up. For me the decisive factor between DSLR and mirrorless hinges on two factors.įirst, my future mirrorless needs to have AF capable of similar or better performance as my D500 or a D5. Nothing serious.I likely will use this camera till it wears out. I have somewhere 15,000 shots taken with mine. Your other "criteria" is not there yet, but I imagine it will be within a few years.
I guess a lot more experts, every day users need to come out and say so. According to some "experts", the Z6 and Z6-II is already there with AF capabilities.
