Shutters have a "life" and is important to note (by the service company and customer, if they so wish) the count as it may need replacing. Firmware updates shouldn't reset the count, although there may be occasions with particular models and/or particular updates. There is the occasion where the count isn't recoverable from the mainboard and then the count is reset.
It's pretty standard to reset the count when replacing the shutter with a new one as this lets the service company and customer know it's been replaced.
The shutter count is mainly there for reference when servicing the camera. I can't speak for Canon or Nikon myself but it's similar to your car odometer. So, speaking of accuracy of shutter count reading, is there any difference between Canon and Nikon?ĭoes anyone know how Canon service centers read those information and why they say they're the only one who can do this?ĭo you think that Canon is also inaccurate just like Nikon? or is Canon's shutter count data safe from firmware updates? however, AFAIK, Canon never commented on these methods, instead, they say that reading shutter count information is only possible at authorized Canon service centers.
#CANON SHUTTERCOUNT TOOL SOFTWARE#
Canonįor Canon it's a bit different, for some of Canon DSLRs this is possible by using software only, such as gPhoto2, EOScount, EOSInfo or EOS Inspector. This number is not always accurate because the shutter release times may be reset by firmware updates, or reset in the Service department if certain parts are replaced or other operations are performed.
In most Nikon DSLRs, shutter actuations could be found in the Exif data and it's possible by using a tool as simple as this online Exif viewer, however Nikon support website says that:
