->> I am looking for an 'updated' way to find the shutter actuations on my canon 1d mk iv. Searching here I only found a couple threads from 2004.
So, what do you all use to get the EXIF data to find the camera's actuations without sending in to CPS. |

| ->> I use EOScount or ShutterCount, both should work for the 1d mk4. Both apps are in the Apple app store but i don't remember the price. I prefer ShutterCount just a personal preference in the layout of the app. |

->> You can set up Photo Mechanic to indicate actuations. To set it up do this from the menu:
Edit
Settings
Set Info Text
Variables, then select actuations
Set
Once set, you will see the actuations when you preview images. |

| ->> I should have mentioned I am using a PC. I also tried EOScount, but it could not identify my camera. I will try Shuttercount.com now. |

| ->> I just tried shuttercount.com with a couple different images and extentions. It gave me "No shutter info found" and then showed the EXIF info (no shutter count). |

->> TY for the replies. I tried camerashuttercount.com with my 1d mk4 RAW file and got the following message "Your camera doesn't add shutter count to images. Click here to try another camera".
I tried the loaner 1d4 CPS sent me and it gave me the same message. When I tried my 1d mk2 it gave me a count of 99,199. CPS has my 1d4 now. |

->> I successfully used FreeShutterCounter to get the actuations on my canon 1d Mk iv. The app is free but it is only available for mac OS. No image file upload is necessary; just connect you camera via USB cord and voila.

->> UPDATE..... I tried several of the suggested sites, but I ended up not getting any of them to work (TY to all for suggestions). I also tried the loaner 1d mk4 that canon sent me and it did not work with that camera either. SO... It is either a setting on this camera model or something just wasn't 'clicking' with my PC settings.
CPS was able to tell me the number when I sent my camera in and it ended up being 230,000+. Guess it's almost time to replace. |
