EXIF shutter used?

[ronbyram]

Now that the Mirrorless camera's are able to shoot Shuuter or electronic. Should the EXIF data be updated to indicate which was used on a photo? Would be good to know??

There is a field ShutterMode in the EXIF data. Most applications do not show all of the EXIF data.

How do you extract the information?

 

[ThomasTH]

I did use one of the many online exif viewers. There is also the ExifTool but I don't have it installed at the moment.

I use ExifTool (in Terminal).

Which one do you recommend for R series?

Does it give just the total or separate ES?

Actually I just searched the web when I saw this thread here. I did use https://jimpl.com but I recommend installing ExifTool instead of uploading photos to web sites.

I don’t recall having checked, and since I am currently riding up a ski lift now is not the time. But I will do so later tonight or tomorrow.

It's something I've looked into in the past without success. On hunting around now, I think with Canon R you need a commercial app that you connect to the camera as Canon doesn't write the separate shutter modes to files. At the suggestion of @ThomasTH, I tried shuttercount.net. It says the shutter count is not supported for R5ii but for the R5 it gives just the total number and not whether ES or MS.

For my R6 II Canon only provides the total shutter count including the electronic shutter.

The R3 provides the number of shutter releases somewhere in the menu system. But that's the mechanical shutter, so mine keeps saying "<1000" as I only use the electronic shutter.

The R1 does so as well, and like you mine reports (and will likely always report) ≤1000.

In my case, my images are sequentially numbered so I can determine the total shutter count just by the filename (with the subtraction of about 30 shots from my one and only use of in-camera RAW conversion, which I was unaware would create 'new' filenames rather than the same file name with a .jog extension).
