So if you are trying to find out how “old” your Canon DLSR is, one precise method is to find out how many photos this camera has taken in its lifetime, aka close to how many times the shutter has been used. Some camera manufacturers will include the shutter count in the image, and some will not (i.e. Canon). Unfortunately, the Exif format does not explicitly require camera’s shutter count to be included as a part of the metadata. This is called an Exif image file standard so that across all camera manufacturer there is a shared method to capture this metadata.

ShutterCount Mobile is available on the App Store for $2.99 / €2.99.If you own a DSLR camera or rather any camera (via smartphone included), the photos you take will not only contain the picture itself but also additional information such as the camera aperture, focal length, shutter speed, ISO and much more other settings at the moment when the picture is taken. You may want to read my previous post on Canon EOS camera pairing and the ShutterCount FAQ for additional pairing tips. This automatic connection remains in effect until you either pair the camera to another app ( Kuuvik Capture for example), turn off the network connection on the camera, or quit (I mean force quit, pressing the Home button is not enough) the app on the iPhone/ iPad. Note that the camera needs some time to register itself on the network, and that pairing needs to be done once – the next time the app will automatically recognize the camera. Towards the end of the video I make three test shots and power cycle the camera to show the updated shutter count.
Mind this when establishing the connection. ShutterCount relies on the camera’s more advanced EOS Utility connection mode (and thus will not work with the simple smartphone connection mode).

Plus you can access these logs through iTunes file sharing.īecause of the network connection required to the camera, you’ll need to do an extra step before the reading – pair the app and the camera.
#HOW TO FIND SHUTTER COUNT MAC#
So at the moment it will work with the following Canon EOS cameras: 6D, 70D (using built-in Wi-Fi) 5D Mark III, 7D Mark II (using WFT-E7 transmitter) 1D X, 1D C (using built-in Ethernet or WFT-E6 transmitter).įeature-wise it is equal with the Mac version – besides a simple reading it sports history logging, with the ability to copy the logs into Apple’s Numbers or Microsoft Excel. Either built-in, or utilizing an external Wireless File Transmitter. Since Apple does not provide a way to control a camera via USB from an iOS device, ShutterCount Mobile relies on Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection and thus supports cameras having one of those. It runs on 64-bit devices running iOS 9 or later (that is: iPhone 5s or later, iPod touch 6, iPad Air or later, iPad mini 2 or later, iPad Pro). My ShutterCount app is now available on iOS!
