I was able to pull mine after spinning up a Linux virtual machine on my windows desktop had using the gphoto2 application - note you can't use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for this as it doesn't do USB passthrough at the moment. For the RP it apparently (according to the article) reports shutter count but only to the nearest thousand which depending on your needs may or may not be good enough.īeyond that its either using the Magic Lantern firmware (not even sure if that works on the RP atm and has its own inherent dangers) or finding a friend with a mac to use the much less dodgy apps available to them.
Long story short literally all the current Windows options suck and are highly dubious in origin and I can not in good conscious recommend installing any of them.

Additionally many of the articles on this subject are massively outdated and of little use but having had to go through this myself recently (prepping two older bodies for sale) I came across this more recent article from late last year: This is relatively easy with newer Macs and new Canon cameras since both use USB C.
You’ll need to connect your camera to your Mac and the shutter count will appear after the camera is connected and on. After downloading and installing the app you’ll be greeted with a fairly simple UI. Unfortunately Canon seemingly goes out of its way to make it hard to the get shutter counts and does not embed them in the EXIF of images taken. You can get ShutterCount by DIREstudios on the Mac app store.
