Shutter actuations for Canon 1Ds Mk III

[moisote]

How can I determine the total number of shutter actuations for my 1Ds Mk III ?  Does it really require getting some specialty software ?

I u/l a photo (all 20mb) to the web site but I don't see a image number.  Am I not looking at it correctly?

PS does not display an image number as I displayed above.

Ctrl+F and search for count. Pretty far down.

I used this raw file http://www.rawsamples.ch/raws/canon/1dsm3/RAW_CANON_1DSM3.CR2 with firmware 2.1.2.

OK yes it is pretty far down.  It says my 1Ds Mk III has a shtter count of 342.  That is grossly inncorrect.

It is reporting my File Index as 342 also.

Thanks, I got the same with the 1D III. Same file nr as shutter count nr. But the 1Ds III had a difference. That´s why I wanted to check here with somebody with another 1D III/1Ds III.
