Let’s walk through the things that won’t work. Important enough you would think it would be something photographers could find out easily. Seems like the shutter actuation count is a pretty important number to be able to check on a Canon camera. This is the number of actuations the shutter is designed and warrantied to reach. Some shutters go well beyond these numbers while others don’t make these numbers. Note: These numbers don’t mean your camera shutter is guaranteed to fail at or near this count. Below is a table showing a lot of popular Canon camera models and the shutter actuation lifespan rated by the manufacturer. Incidentally, this is true of all cameras, not just Canon models. Some Canon cameras have a higher quality shutter built into the camera body than others.

What Is The Lifespan of the Shutter On My Canon Camera? Photographers often want to know how much shutter life is left in the shutter for the camera they have, or more importantly, how much shutter life is left in a used camera they are looking to buy. Photographers care about this number because the shutter mechanism inside their camera body don’t last forever, the shutter wears out. Shutter actuation count is the number of times the shutter button has been pressed and triggered the shutter to release for taking a photo. Why Do Photographers Care About Shutter Actuation Count? I did this last time I sold a body, but I can't figure out how I did it for free.This site is a participant in affiliate programs for Amazon Services LLC, Adorama, and OWC. My favorite is the 'free shutter count' at that is free to download but once you install their (probably spyware) app AND special drivers, you have to pay to get your shutter count. For Windows, nothing free works, and I'm afraid to pay and find out it still doesn't work. Nothing for Android except the paid DSLR Controller. I've spent an hour looking for a Windows or Android solution. In case it helps: Software already on my Windows 10 PC: Lightroom CC and FastStone image viewer. Is there a way to check the shutter count without downloading some dodgy looking software? I know this will have been asked before but I haven't got all day to search. I tried using the search bar on this site, no luck. I tried again for this site and some German software came up.

I Googled it- everything was from 5+ years ago.
