The camera has a shutter count internally that can be read by some programs. I use one called ShutterCount on my mac. However some of the EOS cameras also write the shutter count in each image as part of the metadata. There are some programs and tools that will read the count from an image. I believe that EXIFtool will do so and is free to download.

Brian, that no longer works with the EOS R series.

-Demetrius
Bodies: EOS 5D Mark IV
Lenses: EF Trinity, EF 85mm F/1.8 USM
Retired Gear: EOS 40D, EF 50mm F/1.8 STM & EF 70-210mm F/4
Speedlites: 420EX, 470EX-AI, 550EX & 600EX II-RT

Both R5 and R6 save an exposure count in the MakerNotes. We don't know if other R cameras do because no one has tried to decode the metadata.

John Moyer here has been contributing a lot to Exiftool and he also found that R5 just like R6 saves the exposure count in the metadata.

I know those do. But I'm not sure about the original R or the R10.

I have used the Mac App ShutterCount by Dire Studio with all my current EOS R-series cameras it works and the figure is inline with what I expect using my using my Lightroom catalogue as supporting evidence. I believe it does not report the use of electronic shutter actuations though.

I just checked my cameras EXIFtool, and it reports the shutter count for the EOS R6, but not for the EOS R6 Mark II or the EOS R10.

Update: EXIFtool cannot read the shutter count from the EOS R, EOS RP and EOS R7 either.

Only Canon can give you an accurate shutter count. If the cameras are new it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you guys for help

I only see how many people asking about shuter counter, because I tried to sale 1 of my cameras for keep another with me...and I confused, how "sucks" is support of developer...why camera cost "money" and you must findout how to check life of sensor.....and the same time Canon says limit ,but how to check that count ? No answers from company, I think thousand people have same problem(Im not pro, Ive go to mirrorless , Im sorry cameras not only mirrorless, r10 my 1st and eos R second...I go here in camera world from phones) ...so maybe Canon wanna listening their customers? Yeah I enjoy all that, but its not something like compromise or about price or even sonething else...its about care and thinking about comunity right? Like with car, I have odo and know when I have deadlines for maintenance things(oil changes etc)...so I cant understand that)
