p.1 #1 · Where to find shutter count 40d

I have looked in my exif data in multiple programs, and uploaded them on flickr, to find the shutter count in the exif data, but I can't find it. What program's will show the 40d's shutter count in the exif data? Thanks

There is no way for an end user to find the shutter count for the 40D. You can send it in to Canon and they can tell you. Ditto for the x0D, 5D and the Mark 3 1-series.

A way to find something close is if you have never reset the continual numbering, look at a file recently shot and the filename should give you the info you need.

Ya the only thing is with my cards, they reset every 9999. I would guess I am around 25 or 30k but that's just my guess from the card numberings.

This method is accurate - tried it myself on both my 40D and 50D.

we could do with this as a sticky at the top of the forum. Its a regular question and now we have an answer
(search would have helped as well)

Are you guys sure you've copied that utility to the correct folder? It works fine for me, running WinXP (SP3) under Parallels 4.0 on a Mac (Leopard 10.5.5). On my system, there are actually two XP folders named "EOS Utility", one inside the other, but the shutter counter only works in the upper level folder.

I can't get it to work on my Mac, and on the site it says they don't support Macs. Do you use a Mac dcains?

He's running Parallels, which allows him to install Windows or a number of other OS's to run simultaneously with the host OS.

Thanks for that tip, that corrects the problem and it work fine under Windows XP.

Yes, I've used it. Works perfectly fine on my 40D. Tried a friends 50D, works just as well.

Oh yes, I run it on an XP machine.

Ok, so today I installed the EOS cd onto my pc, and I plug my camera in, and it says the camera connected is not compatible with [Camera Window]. I tried everything I could thing of. I restarted the computer again with the camera connected, I made sure there were pictures on the card, everything. I don't know what is wrong.

So who's going to make a version of this for the Digic II (5d) series? I always wondered why no one had 'hacked' or developed a software package that gave the end user the same control as the canon reps. It would be nice to be able to do some of the calibration exercises they can do at home.
