p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Shutter count on new camera


Hello,

I just purchased a new Canon 6D Mark II and the first thing that I checked was the shutter count, it has 22. Is this normal?

You should be good to a 100 or so...

22 is not alarming IMO.

If you bought it from a local shop, they might have "checked" it out for you

From the big houses in New York, they are normally unopened and starts at zero.

Another possibility, is that you used a memory card that has been used on another camera and was not formatted before use.

Enjoy your new camera

It's a catch-22.

Thanks to all who replied to my inquiry. I did use a card from my 70D. I wasn't worried about it, just felt it was strange that it had 22 activations on it.

Regards,

There could be any number of reasons why - none of which should be alarming.

Final factory check, potential customers often handle merchandise - a few frames fired off by staff, whatever.

To have zero actuations would be spooky.

Curious to know if the last image on your 70D was 21 before you loaded the card on your new camera.

Shuttercount from:

http://www.direstudio.com/shuttercount/

can read the odometer on your new camera.

right, I would expect some shutter actuation after it's left the factory

Mine have always been 0, and I've had a lot of new ones. You must format the card before placing it in the new camera. The camera is set to zero before it leaves the factory, no further operations are done by Canon, but a dealer could have shown it to someone.

That would be my first assumption.
