How do you find the shutter count on a canon 70D or 5 D mark 3?

shuttercount.com is not a valid link. This one is and it's simple to use. I own a 5D3 and 7D2.

Use of a web site will ONLY display shutter count IF the camera includes the shutter count in the EXIF of the image - and if it does why not just learn to read EXIF instead of relying on uploading an image to a web site?

Unfortunately, not all cameras include shutter count in the EXIF, for example my Canon EOS80D does not, so I can upload images till the cows come home and none will show any shutter count. For those camera's that do not write the shutter count into EXIF, you will require another method.

For my Canon EOS 80D I use Direstudio's Shutter count - it will report the shutter count and other information to many Canon camera's connected to it via USB cable.

It is cheap, works well and is a handy tool to have, IF it works for your camera.

Check here to confirm what camera's it works with:

BTW - All Nikon cameras have included shutter count within the EXIF of every image since I believe about 2009, many Canon's do NOT include the shutter count for some reason.

Also, some camera stores will do it for you. Kenmore Camera, in north Seattle, will do it for free in a couple of minutes.

FWIW - In my opinion, shutter count matters twice... when buying a used camera and when selling your camera - if the shutter works when you press the button then it works, and probably will till it does not.

Take a picture - examine the EXIF information look, for the IMAGE NUMBER FIELD.....


Or, if you don't want to learn how to deal with EXIF info - upload the jpg image you took to http://myshuttercount.com/

IMHO - Learn to access the EXIF information - well worth knowing for any camera.

Wow, I've been trying to find this for my Nikon for awhile now. I goggled it after looking at your example.
On a MAC you simply open image in preview- go to tools- choose "show inspector ". The little pop up box actually has a tab that says "Nikon". When you click on it it says shutter count right there! I used Raw images because edited ones did not show any data. Thank you so much.

I tried to download the free program here and my virus detection was activated. The only way I could even see the download Windows button was to open and incognito window and then paste the URL in. I could find a download button but ESET virus didn't like it. So I'd use the one below that costs $3.99. I know it works because I have it.

I use this one for my 80D, and can confirm it works fine.

There was no data regarding shutter count seen via windows, I tried to upload both RAW and jpg from my image made with my Nikon D3400 to the website and the result was that the program said, no shutter data.
