Canon Users: How do you find your shutter count?

[Krish Chandran]

As a long time Nikon user I am used to the relative ease of uploading a new picture (RAW or JPEG) to a site like Camershuttercount and getting the actual number of shutter actuations made in the life of the camera. Quite simple, actually.

Recently I became aware that it is not so straightforward in Canon-world. How would you determine the shutter count of (say) a Canon R7 or a Canon 5D Mark3?

Hi, maybe I am late to the party, but wanted to let you know I have same issue with Canon 6D and EOS utility; there is not "shutter count" option as google is saying there should be...

EDIT: was able to read the shutter count using this software: https://sourceforge.net/projects/canon-eos-digital-info/

How to check your camera's shutter count

I tried using the methods mentioned in this link, but none of them worked sadly. Still searching for a working way to find out shutter count in Canon cameras :/

For which camera did you used this method? It didn't worked for Canon R7 :(

New Canon cameras are a bit tricky to get the shutter count. Last time I checked (and this was a while ago) there were some paid apps that would give you the shutter count.

For older cameras; magic lantern (if you have it installed) gives you the shutter count under one of the menus.
