Canon 7D shutter count
Dec 24, 2019 12:15:46 #
I have looked a the various posts for shutter count, but have had no success with any of those mentioned. Does anyone have a suggestion? All manufacturers of camera equipment should have an app for all the models they sell and available in the support section of the website...so I say :-)

Totally agree. It would be like a car manufacturer deciding not to include an odometer on a car. I just don’t understand the reluctance to having shutter count as a standard menu item.

I use Picasa and it displays the shutter count for every photo in it's files regardless of which camera I use. I use Nikon but I assume it would do the same with Canon.

Unfortunately not. The OP will need to download and pay for an ap to read it - that data is not included in the EXIF file. I will do a search and find the last one I used to read my 5D3.

For an EOS 7D, try the free download from SourceForge titled: Canon EOS Digital Info

I use Jeffery's Image Metadata Viewer. I just got the shutter count for a Nikon D7000 that I have.

This freebie will do the 7D without issue. Paul is correct with this small app. It will also allow easy time syncing and copyright info changes made with your keyboard. Windows only.

I had the same issue with my canon 7Dmkii. Tried all the free and nothing worked. Finally tried the 'Astro Photography Tool APT v3.80' and got the shutter count.

Impossible to find any program that works with my EOS 80D. Any other suggestions for my 80D?

Jeffery's Image Metadata Viewer works with Canon RAW files. I just tried it with a .jpeg file from a Canon Rebel. It displayed a lot of data but not the shutter count. Maybe with RAW files.

I don’t quite understand the reasoning by Canon not to include it as part of their software. Seems like a simple process. Of course I’m not a programmer or software engineer either!

Is the Shutter Count in Picasa located under the column labeled Properties?
If not, where?
I have a Canon 7D, 6D & 5DIV and RP and could not find it.
Maybe you would care to share the location?

Yes, Jimmy T. It's in the column labeled properties. Double click on a photo and the properties column fills. It's the third info block from the bottom. An earlier poster said it doesn't work for Canon??? Don't know why but it works with all my Nikon bodies. I don't know exactly what EXIF means but it shows what lens was used at what aperture and what setting it was on if a zoom. It also shows what camera settings were used including menu settings like sharpening, saturation, etc. And a lot of other stuff that I don't understand.

I'm using the latest (Picasa 3.9.138.150) build for Picasa and I can't find the shutter count for my Canon 7D, 6D, 5DIV nor my RP on this version. Perhaps it is in a previous version. Thanks for the info though.
EXIF it is comprised of a range of settings such as ISO speed, shutter speed, aperture, white balance, camera model and make, date and time, lens type, focal length and much more. The word “EXIF” is based on the Exchangeable Image File Format standard.
