I actually thought this was possible, but then checked my 5D Mark IV under "battery info", and it doesn't show anything under shutter count. That's quite silly. Great video!
You're totally right! It is quite silly that you can't check it easily yourself. I hope that Canon fixes this issue someday, so you don't have to mail your camera into Canon to check the shutter count anymore! However, it will probably only be available on newer cameras (if Canon ever decides to include this feature for Canon users). Thanks for watching!
@@magnus547 Glad to have you here! I'm hoping at some point that I can send in my cameras to get the shutter count checked. I just use them so much that it is hard to send them in for a few weeks!
@@jennifercookephotography Are you worried they will stop working on you soon? How long have you had your 5D Mark IV? I've had mine serviced about twice, but never the shutter. I broke the mic jack a few times. I've had it since launch and I still use it everyday! But I'm more into video, to be honest, so my shutter count is probably lower than a real photographer's shutter count.
@@magnus547 No, I am not worried about that. I've had my 5D Mark IV for about 5 years, but it still works great for me! I've used this camera body for both photo & video, but I've also taken good care of the camera body over the years.
Yes, you can! You just have to send it in to Canon to get it checked! There are also third party ways to check it on your own. These ways just have risks so Canon can't recommend them. Happy New Year!
Great video! Thank you for the info!
@@j6creative Glad it helped you!
You waisted my time watching your videos ??????????????????
Happy New Year! We wish you much success this year in your endeavors!

@jennifercookephotography my pleasure! I subscribed! I also checked on my r5 mark 2. Same issue.

Short Version: You CAN'T check your shutter count.
