What is the shutter count of your Canon DSLR?
Posted on 18. Apr, 2010 by Photographer in Photography Tips
Knowing the shutter count of your Canon DSLR is important so that you are aware if your camera shutter has reached its limits and it's time to change it i.e. get a new camera or replace the shutter curtains. This is even more important if you are buying a second hand camera, to know beforehand how long before the camera dies.
There is a neat little application for windows that does just that. When installed EOSInfo from astrojargon shows you the shutter count on your camera (you have to connect your camera to your PC). But what I really like about this application is that you can set your copyright info straight on the camera as well. This means that each picture that you take will be embedded with this information.
In general, Canon cameras lasts between 50,000 (low end older models) to 300,000 (high end pro cameras) clicks. You can check out a more comprehensive list here.
But before installing this application, do check out the astrojargon website to find out if your Canon camera is supported.
