p.1 #1 · How to get shutter count from Canon cameras.

I have a canon 77D, Canon 6D and a Canon 5D mark three. I have tried using the online tools for getting a shutter count, but no luck. Is there a way to get the shutter account from these cameras without having to buy an app? Thank You.

Not sure how good this is, but it appears to get the info from EXIF embedded in photos: https://imageonline.io/shutter-count/

Tornado EOS is free and works for all three. https://kameratrollet.se/canon-shutter-count/

I have 6D and use Magic Lantern.

https://imageonline.io/shutter-count/ will give you the total actuations (Electronic and mechanical) of your Canon Camera.

Shuttercount is a Mac program at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shuttercount/id720123827?mt=12 is $9.99 (used to be free) and will show just the mechanical actuations. Shuttercount Pro is $19.99 and will show each of the mechanical and electronic actuations, seperately. I have used Shuttercount Pro for some time and like it.

It will also allow you to enter Copyright, Owner, etc. in their fields. It will set/sync the time from your computer, usefull for multiple cameras.

If you use different programs you may get different counts.
What variation do you see ?

Canon Japan and Magic Lantern gave me the same for 7D and 6D. Tornado EOS gave me the same for 6D. I never tried 7D with Tornado EOS.
