4 edits | How do I determine total shutter actuations Canon 400D/XTi I can't find anything on this? Does anyone have a clue how to determine the total number of of times the shutter has been actuated (fired/released)?
I tried CanCount Version 1.33, but it apparently does not support the 400D. It reports back that it is not a valid raw or native jpg file from 1D series.
CANON phone support was of no help? They just directed me to CanCount which doesn't support the 400D. 
Ideas appreciated? - Taylor

That will list all kinds of things about your camera in a photo's EXIF. It even takes my K10D's temperature so I know if it's sick, lol. |

Boston, MA | W O W ! All the information about the image and my camera that I didn't know that I didn't know about and didn't know I wanted to know... 
Still couldn't find total actuations, though.
Thanks for posting it. - Taylor

From what I've read on other forums, there is no way to know the true shutter count, even if the software supported your camera. Only Canon has the ability to access that information. |

Thanks for the post.

SandShark  has it right, there is no way short of sending it in to Canon (and I'm not 100% sure they could extract it from the camera either). From my experience, you should expect all recent Canon shutters (20D and more recent) to work fine well past 50,000 clicks. There will be occasional exception, but they seem well built.

If you have never reset the counter... and set to be sequential/continuous (vs reset with new card).
Frames are 0-999 and folders are thousands after that
101 would be 1000-1999, and
111 Would be 10,000 to 10,999, etc
At least that is the way it was with my old original 300D Rebel

If you're buying used, there is no way of knowing. Even being the original owner doesn't guarantee the shutter hasn't been activated many times. I'm pretty sure the cameras are tested at the factory.

I thought Photo Mechanic will read it at first but it's not. I have a share ware program that will read my 1DIIN, but as others have said I don't think you can on a non pro body.
