This app will work (seconding Hayden's suggestion). It just worked on my son's T4i...

Unfortunately, Camerashuttercount.com will not work for the EOS T4i (which I tried on my son's camera), and presumably for the T5i, since shutter count data is not included in the EXIF data for many Canon cameras...

I used camerashuttercount with all my Nikons and with an EOS 1DS MKll and it worked fine. However, it would not work with an EOS 5D.

go to Myshuttercount.com and look for instructions. For a Nikon, upload your last photo. Wait a bit and a page will appear with the shutter count.

Google "Canon T5i shuttercount" returns this:
How do I find the shutter count on my Canon T5i?
Plug the camera into the computer and select "camera settings/remote shooting" from the EOS utility window. The shutter count will appear at the top next to the battery level indicator. On my T5 -- all "9"s across from the battery indicator.Jun 15, 2016
No indication of what OS is involved, and I have no idea what the EOS utility window is, as I shoot Nikon.

I have a 2014 Mac Mini that I store all my photos, when I open
the last photo I click on the the I (lnfo) top right small button, it shows
IMG 0750 jpg
Canon EOS M50
and all the functions the camera used to take the photo. “IMG 0750” is the number of times the shutter button of my camera has been used. I have used several Canon cameras and they all seem to have the same method of the shutter count. My iPhone photos do not integrate with this information. I hope my answer is related to your question.

Hate to have to break it to you ... but the sequence counter in the filename of an image is not the shutter count. You may have noticed there are positions only for 9999 in this filename? When you go over 9999, the next image is IMG_0001, so now you have two problem: the total camera shutter count was not reset to 01, as well as the count is incorrect as the shutter is actually 10,000.

When I used www.myshuttercount.com for Nikon D5200 8mage upload, the count was shown as 10,681. That is about what I expected for that camera.

That's nice. Sadly, not applicable for Canon EOS DSLRs that do not store the camera shutter count anywhere in the image file.

Is this your best contribution to the community?

If you want to be helpful, or even just a smart aleck, you have to at least be accurate. This information of where or how to obtain the EOS T5i shutter count is not covered in the camera's user manual.

No it does not!! It will not work with any Canon EOS. There are some utility aps that will work for some Canons, but there are some Canons that there is no way other than to send the camera to Canon

Why do people care so much about shuttercount anyway?


There are many ways to find it on Canon cameras. Some used to be free, others inexpensive, but it’s only of interest when buying or selling a camera. Just like a used car, it could run forever or die tomorrow.

Are people paranoid or just deluding themselves?

It's only important if you are buying/selling. Most good cameras can rack up a shutter count of 200k. It's like buying a used car. Mileage counts. My Nikon is a 2014 with less than 11,000 activations - low mileage. But if it had 150,000 activations, I would not buy it.
