System Status Display Function Provides Critical Information
For optimal camera maintenance, The EOS-1D X's new System Status Display Function offers pertinent information about the camera's use and condition. In addition to displaying the camera's serial number and firmware version, the System Status Monitor also displays the total number of shutter release cycles (in thousands), a camera error log, which lists errors that may warrant service

Anyone figured it out??
Check page 385 of the manual. system status display, it is called methinks.

If the camera is able to display the count in thousands, then why not display the exact actual count? It takes less code.
I have a feeling that Canon made the assumption that it won't matter to be precise when the shutter is rated at 400K and designed to be used heavily. I've got 180K on mine. Is anyone going to care whether it's 180000 or 180999? I doubt it.
