I haven’t tested it, so I’m not linking to either option here. Shutter Counter cost $3.99 in the App Store. Note that Free Shutter Counter claims to be free, but requires you to purchase a license after downloading to view an accurate shutter count - not cool. There are many ways to find the shutter count for Canon EOS cameras on an Apple computer…īased on my initial online searches, it seemed the easiest options were paid programs downloadable from Apple’s app store or online, such as Shutter Count and Free Shutter Counter, along with some others. I recently came across this issue (once again) when trying to unearth a free and easy way to get the shutter count for my war-torn Canon 7D, which has been battle tested on the front lines of wild fires, rowdy concerts, and breaking news scenes since I purchased it new in 2010.
Canon does not include shutter count information in. Unlike Nikon cameras that include shutter count info in an image’s EXIF data, it’s hard if not (nearly!) impossible to easily find shutter actuations on Canon DSLR models such as 5D, 7D, 6D, and just about every other “D” model in existence. This has nothing to do with traveling except that my 7D has long been a travel companion.
