Shutter Count Software For Mac카테고리 없음 2020. 2. 14. 14:12
From ShutterCount: ShutterCount displays the number of shutter actuations (the shutter count) of Canon EOS digital cameras and is developed exclusively for Mac users. The shutter count is read directly from a USB-connected camera, and thus provides accurate numbers that are not attainable with simple EXIF-based methods.
Direstudio released a Windows version of their popular shutter count app. Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are supported. Direstudio Shuttercount for Mac is also available. The app sells for €2.69/$2.99/£1.99 The following Canon DSLRs are supported.
Using this application you are no longer required to visit a Canon Service Center to read out the exact shutter count, thus saving you time and money. In addition to that, ShutterCount provides unlimited readings for an unlimited number of cameras. The app supports the following cameras:. Canon EOS-1D X.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Canon EOS 6D. Canon EOS 7D. Canon EOS 60D. Canon EOS 70D.
Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1. Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i / Kiss X5. Canon EOS 650D / Rebel T4i / Kiss X6i. Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i. Canon EOS 1100D / Rebel T3 / Kiss X50 For more information, please visit the app’s website.
0 Comments Last Updated April 13, 2018 Like all machinery, the mechanics of our cameras have their limits. Upon crossing this threshold, maintenance may be required to get these beautiful pieces of equipment in tip-top shape for the next photography adventure. This is similar to your car needing some repair help after driving an incredible amount of miles, as predicted based on car model. In cameras, this comes out in the form of your shutter life expectancy – or the approximate amount of times your shutter will function before it begins to hit the fan. Every camera brand and body have their own shutter life expectancy numbers.
It may range from 30,000 releases to hundreds of thousands of releases. All moving parts will quit performing at some point, and the shutter is certainly no exception: Especially since the shutter does a lot of work, as, without it, photography would not be possible! How to figure out the shutter actuations of your camera To figure out the shutter life expectancy of your camera, you can begin by going to the brand website of your camera company. By looking up the model of your camera, you should be able to find the company’s information on its shutter life expectancy.
However, if that yields no results, punching your camera model into a search engine followed by “shutter life expectancy” should prove fruitful. However, the machinery does not always follow suit with the promises laid before it. It is a great idea to peruse photography forums and read individual reviews on your camera brand to see if the shutter life expectancy rings true for your model, or if the actual expectancy is much lower than promised.
Once you know the expectancy, it is time to find out how your actual camera is doing. Although a camera will not “die” per say if you’ve reached the expectancy (much like a car won’t necessarily break down once you’ve hit a certain mileage), the camera will likely stop working properly and need maintenance. The best way to predict when this maintenance will be necessary is being aware of your current shutter actuations. In laymen’s terms, the shutter actuation (or count) is the number of photographs your camera has taken. To avoid a mishap or malfunction during a photo shoot because you’ve reached or exceeded the shutter life expectancy, it’s important to know how to check your count. This is where our helpful article comes in to aid you in quenching your thirst for knowledge.
Note: if you are going to also check the shutter actuations before making a decision. A camera that is near its maximum might not be a good choice. Shutter Actuation for Nikon and Pentax Cameras What do Nikon and Pentax have in common?
Both of these manufacturers store the shutter count details in the photograph EXIF data. This makes your life much easier if you own either of these brands, as there are plenty of fantastic online freeware to quickly let you know the shutter actuations of your camera without needing to plug the camera body into the computer. All you have to do is upload the last photograph you took with your camera, and all of the shutter count information is yours.
Some great websites to do this through include:. If you’re not comfortable uploading an image to a third party, you can download a program to help access the full EXIF data and find the actuation number that way. Unfortunately, most default image viewers only show you generic and basic EXIF data. What you will need is a program that shows you the entire expanse of the EXIF data.
Is one that’s available for both Mac and Windows users. Once the program is installed, you can open up the command prompt on your Windows computer or the shell terminal for your Mac computer. Then proceed to type: exiftool sourcejpegfile.jpg find “Shutter Count” (replace “sourcejpegfile.jpg” with the name of your actual JPEG file) The number that pops up is your shutter actuation.
Shutter Actuation for Canon Cameras While Nikon and Pentax make your life simple by storing the shutter actuations in the photographs, Canon swoops in and makes life a little bit tougher (as a Canon user, I say this in the most endearing way possible). Unless you’re using a few select models such as the 1Dx, the aforementioned online resources will not be able to help you. However, there are several ways to easily get the shutter count for your photo-taking machine. The first is downloading a freeware program that will pull this information for you. A company called has created two pieces of software for this very reason: Windows users will utilize and Mac users can rely on. To use either of these programs, simply connect the camera to your computer using a cable and run the program. Another one you can use is (Mac only).
Another way is to stop by any Canon-authorized repair shop and ask them to check for you. Their software can easily pull up this information for your knowledge. The third way is a firmware program called that installs directly on to your EOS camera. Magic Lantern is “ a free software add-on that runs from the SD/CF card and adds a host of new features to Canon EOS cameras that weren’t included from the factory by Canon,” according to their website.
One of its features includes access to the shutter actuation number. Installing third party software on your camera always has its inherent technical risks, so do keep that in mind. Shutter Actuation for Olympus and Panasonic Cameras Unlike the previous DSLR brands, Olympus and Panasonic cameras have built-in a way to tell the number of shutter actuations. To access this secret menu, you must input a series of button clicks (much like inputting a cheat code into a video game). The code may differ per camera model, so be sure to look up information for your specific camera.
Here is a common combination for Olympus cameras:. Turn your camera on.
Open your memory card door. Press “PLAY” +”OK” at the same time.
Press on the dial, in this exact order: up, down, left and then right. Depress the shutter release button fully. Press up on the dial. Here is a common combination for Panasonic cameras:. Insert a memory card into the card slot.
Turn the camera ON and take a picture. Turn the camera OFF.
Select Manual Mode. Press and hold simultaneously the Q.MENU/Fn2, DISP/Fn1, and RIGHT ARROW buttons, while turning the camera ON.
Now, press and hold the Q.MENU/Fn2 button together with the MENU/SET and LEFT ARROW buttons. Repeat the last step, that is press and hold the Q.MENU/Fn2 button, while pressing the MENU/SET and LEFT ARROW buttons. A two-page operation history display will appear. Press DISP/Fn1 to toggle between the two information menus.
The number next to PWRCNT is how many times the camera has been powered up, the number next to SHTCNT is the shutter activation count, and the number next to STBCNT is the number of times the flash has fired. Switch the camera off to revert back to normal operating mode. Shutter Actuations for Sony Cameras Sony happens to be the trickiest of all the brands, as they have certainly not made it simple to get information on your shutter count. For those that rock with the Sony Alphas, you can try to use this nifty free website to find the shutter actuation of your camera:. The EXIF method mentioned in the Nikon and Pentax section above may also work, depending on your camera model.
For the shutter actuations for other brands, such as Leica’s DSLR series, the best bet is utilizing the EXIF reader method. Share your tips If you’ve found other ways or good apps to do this for the brands mentioned above or other types of cameras we’d love to hear them in comments below. Let’s make this a great resource for all dPS readers.
I’m amazed that some people worry their camera is going to break if it has a five-figure shutter count. I used an Olympus OM-2 for ‘decades’ and have no idea how many total shots it took, but probably 50,000+. It worked / I was happy. Maybe the digital manufacturers should stop giving this information, then the stress-levels of some users would benefit! As Zafar mentions, in a few years, because of all the hype and upgrades that go-on in the digital camera marketing world, we’ll all want a new one long before it has a chance to breakdown. Shutter count for Canon using Linux.
Likely works with many others. Hit up gphoto.org for specs. If you are running Linux for an Operating System, install gPhoto (even if you don’t use Gnome). Remove the SD card (to avoid any pesky “Camera in use” errors). Plug the camera in, go out to a bash prompt and type: gphoto2 –get-config /main/status/shuttercounter Here is my results First shot was the T1i, second was the XS: mikey@linux-tf6v: gphoto2 –get-config /main/status/shuttercounter Label: Shutter Counter Type: TEXT Current: 9392 mikey@linux-tf6v: gphoto2 –get-config /main/status/shuttercounter Label: Shutter Counter Type: TEXT Current: 26729. There seems to be confusion over ‘image number’ and ‘shutter count’ or ‘shutter actuations’. The image number is a resettable number, depending on your camera model.
And may also show different values for.jpg and RAW images. The shutter count, certainly for Nikon DSLR from my own experience, is not resettable, even if the camera is taken-in for service. I’m looking at the example from Winston and suspect the first three digits are a ‘folder’ number, and the last four digits are the image number which increments on each frame. Probably somewhere in the menu system these can be deleted or reset to zero. See my earlier reply and try Kuso EXIF Reader. It shows all EXIF data including shutter count.
For those who have or want to sell or buy Canon xxoD/ Rebel series etc camera, Canon makes it really difficult to establish their shutter count. I have spent hours trying to figure out how to do it and thought it would be kind to pass on what I have learnt!
I downloaded today the “EOS Inspector” App on my Mac. Be aware it doesn’t work on all models, so check first.
Nikon Shutter Count Software Download
For example the App support page lists the models it works on (for example not 400D or earlier, and not some recent models such as 80D). Cost is $2.99 which gave me the peace of mind to know I was around half way through the lifespan of my 550D’s average expected 100,000 shots. As a cross check I also installed Magic Lantern software on the camera and it gave the exact same number, though separately noted an additional 1545 LiveView actuations.

Ethan September 30, 2010 01:07 pm Canon T2i - error retrieving shutter count. I get this on my mac mini running os 10.5.8 with a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo. I unplug the usb cord and it gives me this error immediately. I then turn plug the cable in, turn the camera off and on, click Get Shutter Count, wait a second or two and then I get the same error message, error retrieving shutter count. Apple's Preview V 4.2 has a lot of exif data, but doesn't reveal the shutter count for the T2i, but will for NEF (Nikon raw files).
Also fails so I assume that the shutter count is not in the EXIF data. Anyone have a work around?eimg url='title='40DShutterCount.png'. Lon June 3, 2010 06:19 am After installing the firmware hack and bootable CF on my Canon Rebel XTi, I was able to get a reading of the shutter count. Getting this hack working was a little more involved than I thought but really wasn't too difficult, and provides some cool new functions ('spot' metering, high ISO modes, and shutter actuations!). Pulling the count is a little bit of a workaround, but atleast I can now get it, plus access a scary looking service menu I'm afraid to touch.
I'm not sure I entirely trust the count though, since it only shows a little over 8k actuations - I've probably put most of those on myself, but was told when I bought it that it was used for over a year, and it looked like it too. Marcel HD May 31, 2010 08:37 pm (Second post of this, I could not see the first attempt) Yes, the Apple 'Preview' application that comes with every Mac is a very useful program with some nice features that many Apple users don't use often enough. Like Will said before, you can see your image count with this free Apple program. Just open any of your JPG's with Preview and then go to Tools in the menu, and Show Inspector. (Or use the keyboard shortcut that is also shown there). A little pop up window comes up and you can then see all kinds of info on your photo.
Click on the 'i' icon, then the Exif tab and you can quickly see information from shutter exposure, to what lens model and lens serial number, and when you scroll down you can see the image number. The last shot you made of course would show the latest image number. At this Inspector Tool window, you can also then click on the 'Nikon' tab and that same Image Number is then called the 'ShutterCount'. What I don't seem to find there, however is what Camera model or camera SN was used. Does anyone know where to find that using Preview or some other application that we probably have at hand? eimg url='title='Screenshot2010-05-31PreviewInspecto.png'.

eimg url='title='Screenshot2010-05-31PreviewInspecto.png'. Charlie May 27, 2010 10:57 pm I used Opanda IExif 2.26 on the files from my Nikon D200 and something is definitely screwy. I noticed this right off because I use a sequential numbering scheme on my files, changing the leading 4 chars after every 10,000 shots so that the file number is essentially a shutter count.
The file number tracked the shutter count as reported by Opanda fairly closely for awhile, but right around 24000 shots, the error went from +200 to -200, and soon thereafter the shutter count jumped by about 27000! So right now my filename is at 36000 but the shutter count in the Exif is 63562. Anyone seen similar behavior?
Lon May 11, 2010 12:32 am tonys, it doesn't explicitly state that EOSInfo works only with digic III/IV processors, but it does say 'EOSInfo works with almost any DSLR, excepting the 500D' It also says that the old version, 40D shutter count, which is also available for mac, 'works on almost any DIGIC III/IV DSLRs, excepting the 1D series' So I thought the current version of EOSInfo had been updated to also include shutter counts for older models, which is why I installed and tried it, but alas you are right it won't work for my XTi. Karen Stuebing May 10, 2010 11:14 pm I've never been able to get that link to work for my Pentax K10D. And I don't strip the exif. Not to mention it takes a LONG time to upload a 10mb RAW file even on DSL.
Assuming you've never reset your file naming, can't you just refer to the file number? That would make my shutter actuations slightly over 10,000. I've owned this camera for two years so that's not bad. To tell you the truth, I'm not going to even worry about it. If I want to take ten photos from different angles of the same thing, I'm going to keep doing that. That's why I like digital. You can see what you've shot immediately.
If you don't like the result, like the exposure or composition, you can shoot it again. Until one day, somewhere far in the future, you camera stops working. Dcclark May 10, 2010 10:08 am @radek: Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that it is just enough to check an internal file name given by the camera. On most cameras, the file name 'resets' after 10,000 images. So, for example, my Nikon goes from DSC9999.jpg to DSC0001.jpg - with no indication in the file name that this is really image 10000, not image 1. In addition, most cameras let you reset automatic numbering at will, or any time you reformat your card - so the file name may be entirely wrong.
Chris Neate May 10, 2010 08:11 am If you're using a Canon P&S, another way to get the shutter count (along with the true firmware version and a few other things) is to follow these instructions from the CHDK website: 1. Create an empty file called vers.req (not vers.req.txt) in the root directory of your SD card. Switch on the camera in playback mode and wait for the main screen (caution: switching on in rec mode and changing to playback later with open lens does not work with all models!) 3. Press the func/set + disp. Buttons together (i.e. Press set first, keep holding it down, then press disp.).
Canon Shutter Count Software For Mac
You will see Model Name, P-ID, a string like Firmware Ver GM1.00E, Error State and Firmware Date. The 1.00E part is the firmware version. While holding down func./set and pressing disp. Three times, the number 'Total Shoot' appears. That is your shutter count. If you can't get it to work, see and look for the section on how to get the firmware version for your camera.
