5d III - Number of Shutter Actuations?

(1/3) > >>

canonian:
On the previous 5D bodies there was not a reliable way to get the count for the number of shutter actuations over the life of the camera.  Well, there is an app that I believe works for the Mark II but it's accuracy has been questioned by some.

Anyway, is there a new way with the 5D III to get the number of clicks?  Ideally something within the camera itself or maybe with an app like EOS Utility?

Peter Dawson:
Canonian, i believe that the 5DIII and the 1D X's menus are very similar.  On the 1D X there is a system status option in the menu's, i cant remember exactly where, but that gives you the total actuations to the nearest 1000.
Hope that helps.

I'm just using the file sequence number.  Just as long as I don't change anything, lol.

I don't think that option is available on the 5DIII.

eoscount.com seems to work

Keep track to make sure it keeps working, however, because I think that it lost track on one of my 7D bodies. It seemed to say I had taken a lot more exposures than I really had. (I had about 110,000 photos on my computer from two 7D bodies purchased brand new, and eoscount.com claimed that the cameras had a total of nearly 200,000 photos taken between them.)
