![]() The Shutter Count app reported my Mechanical Shutter usage accurately ( < 3,000) I know it’s accurate because I’ve taken tens of thousands of Electronic Shutter images with my R5, and relatively few Mechanical Shutter images.Ĭuriously, the R5 does not have the “System Display Status” menu that the R3 has. ![]() I checked my R5, as well, having read the above thread. Please note that if you haven't used the fully electronic shutter, then the counter you get will naturally represent the mechanical one." Also, corrupted counters will stay this way even if Canon fixes the bug (which seems to be done in firmware 1.4.0), and future actuations are tracked properly. "Unfortunately we can't correct what Canon screwed up. This individual wrote to the developers of Shutter Count, and the developers responded with the following: One of his R5’s was showing both his Electronic Shutter and Mechanical Shutter usage combined, and the other R5 was solely showing his Mechanical Shutter usage. I also found a post on DPReview where an owner of two R5’s encountered this issue while using the Shutter Count app. Don’t go by Shutter Count’s actuation estimate when reselling the camera and a prospective buyer asks about the camera’s shutter count. It shows that Canon’s software is actually recording BOTH Electronic Shutter and Mechanical Shutter actuations, even though you, as the user, are really only meant to know the Mechanical Shutter actuation number (in 1,000-shot increments).Ģ. In other words, I believe the R3, through its own menu and logging system, is only showing mechanical shutter actuations/release cycles.ġ. This is consistent with my non-use of the mechanical shutter, as actuations are only shown in 1,000-shot increments. ![]() Going into the R3’s menu (wrench icon, tab 5) and to “System Status Display”, the shutter actuations are shown on my camera as less than or equal to ( <) 1,000. Interestingly, the R3 itself doesn’t show Electronic Shutter actuations. The Shutter Count app reports the shutter count as less than or equal to ( <) 8,000. I’ve not used the mechanical shutter once on the camera, but I’ve taken approximately 7,200 Electronic Shutter images. I discovered that the Shutter Count app (available for MacOS) counts the R3’s electronic shutter “actuations/release cycles”.
