ShutterCount – An Easy way to Find the Number of Canon DSLR Shutter Actuations on your Mac

Canon does not include the number of shutter actuations in the camera’s EXIF data. There are a number of apps out there to get the number of shutter actuations from Canon cameras that either don’t work reliably or require using the Mac terminal to key in cryptic commands.

ShutterCount the new Mac app from DIRE Studio is reliable, easy to use, and inexpensive. The app is available from the app store for $2.99.

I’ve tested the app using the Canon 7d, Canon 6d, and Canon 5d Mark iii and the app was quick, reliable and easy to use. For Canon 6d and 70d users, you’ll need to turn off wi-fi as it blocks access to the USB port.

Ease of Use

The ShutterCount app is simple to use. Here are the steps.

Make sure wi-fi is turned off if your camera is wi-fi enabled
Plug the camera into your Mac using the USB cable that came with the camera.
Turn the camera on
Lauch the ShutterCount app to see the number of shutter actuations.
