7D shutter count

Lee0204 · 11 Jul 2012

Hi All

Is there an easy way to find out an accurate shutter count for the 7D?

thanks

I think eoscount.com will do it. I read it doesn't work with every browser but go to the site and follow the instructions to see.

There is no need for the software it's in the menu settings.

Go to the last spanner menu.
Battery Info.

Shutter count is in there.

and why wouldn't it be with the battery info, such an obvious place to look

I'm not sure this is accurate though is it?
I seem to remember reading it can be reset and / or is reset by some action (new battery?!)

This is per battery cycle. And when you have a grip it shows 2 counts. No way of finding in camera I'm afraid. I think Eos count worked for me.

EOS Count worked perfectly for me.

Yep, this is the number of shots taken since the battery was charged.

Nice one guys to be honest I didn't know that, obviously like most guys didn't get the end of the instruction manual

sorry to bump an old thread but it says i have to pay??

Can't you just tell the shutter count from the IMG number of your last image? :shrug:

What does those 3 bars mean that show up in the same place? how well the battery preforms or something? if only 2 bars go green rather than all 3 does it mean the battery is on the way out?

You can if your under 9999 then it resets to 0000

Or if the camera is set to reset the image number after off load.

Ive had the camera 2 years and from the file count of pictures ive taken with the highest numbers.
ie dog 323, holiday 1024 and so on.

Ive took well above 15k pf photos but I would like to know still.

EOSCOUNT web page is charging and still does not gaurntee a positive count.

Mac users, best way to check a 7D shutter count? EOS Count doesnt work neither does http://astrojargon.net/40DShutterCount.aspx

I really fail to understand why something so basic seems so difficult :razz:
