It had 3847 this morning when I checked it. The camera looked absolutely brand new, and I had 138 shots on the card, and eosmsg reported 138 shots. I bought an 80D as a refurb last summer, and checked it soon after receiving it when I had kept track of my shots still on the first card I put in it. So how accurate are the apps? I don't know since I don't care for myself about it.Įosmsg does in fact work for the 80D (and 5Ds for that matter which is another camera that's hard to find a count app for). It was different in all examples then the app provided. They asked for a shutter count to be included in the service. I don't know if it was the same app or not but I know of several folks that used shutter count apps to get the count and then sent the camera in to Canon for one reason or another. This link worked for me on a 5D3 I just bought. Salud.Ĭool, I didn't know ShutterCount ran on iPad too. Once again the folks on FM forums come through. Went bare bones, but hey, it delivered as promised. For another $4 I can get live view stats. Took me more than an hour, but I finally got the tablet and the app store and PayPal and the software and the camera all talking to each other. I'm probably wrong about all of that, but still, I passed.ĭug up an old IPad I had laying around and installed the ShutterCount app. It's from a Chinese company with a sketchy website that screams malware wrapper. I did a kill -9 on the idea of putting that on a computer connected to my network.Įosmsg is the only one built for Windows. Makes me believe that's pretty buggy software. One was for Linux only and the home page included instructions for identifying and killing runaway processes. I went through the list linked above and found three apps that claimed to pull the shutter count from Digic 6 and later processors. Show more →Įosmsg seems to be what you are searching for. Not that big a deal, but now it's a quest. They can't be the only ones who have figured this out. There's a "pro" version too (don't know makes it pro.). Bought it at the AppleStore a few years back for $2.99. The ShutterCount app work perfectly on my 80D: simply displays the shutter count without extra BS. Does anybody know if there's another way to get at that? I've read that the latest generation of Canon processors in pretty much all their cameras don't include that bit of information in that file.

They just grep 'shutter count' in the exif data. All the web and software utilities do the same thing. Shutter count from this camera is no longer among them. Got a nasty utility off the web that dumps the raw exif data.

I haven't been here for a while but I figured the Fred Miranda people might know. Can't find a definitive answer on the interwebs.
