Free Shutter Count

Free Shutter Count is a lightweight program that can read the hardware information stored in your Canon EOS DSLR camera. The application can read the shutter count and thus determine how many times it captured photos or film.

Many DSLR devices feature a warranty for an approximate number of shutter activations, which usually reaches a value of few tens of thousands. The usage and therefore value of the camera can be determined based on how many times it has captured images. The more shutter activations the camera has, the lower its value.

Free Shutter Count can help you to accurately determine the number of shots a camera has recorded and determine its attrition. It is a reliable tool for determining the value of the camera if you plan to sell or to buy a used one.

Free Shutter Count is simple to install and features an intuitive interface. The program requires only that you connect your Canon DSLR camera to the computer via USB and turn it on so that it can read the count of shutter activations.

Once the camera is connected, you might need to refresh the application. The tool can also determine the model of the camera, the serial number and firmware, along with the shutter count.

The application is compatible with the Canon EOS series and can read information from various models, including 350D, 450D, 1000D, Rebel T2i, Rebel XSi, 5D Mark II and Mark III. Other models may be incompatible.

Free Shutter Count can reveal the real number of shutter activations. It can only read the firmware details stored by your camera, not determine its wear or estimate its value. Some cameras can fail early on or outlive their warranty by twice the shutter counter. However, the program can offer you insight on the health of your device.
