I don't worry about the figures though, I have never had a shutter fail and both my oldest bodies have passed the quoted rating (my first DSLR was over double its rated life when I passed it on to a friend, and it is still going strong in his hands). Once you get past the initial risk period, your camera will likely give you long, reliable service and go past the rated shutter life. This is balanced by many bodies going way beyond the rated life. However, as with any technical product, a good proportion of the "before" failures are likely to be ones that let go quite early due to an inherent manufacturing fault, which shows up in the first 10,000 images or so. The figures are not arrived at by any scientific means and are clearly vague, as they quote 50k, 100k, 150k clicks, etc. It's an estimate of "average" shutter life, so roughly half should (theoretically) fail before that and half after. The science of statistical analysis is quite advanced (re: Motorola and six sigma) in the case of a Canon shutter the numbers could also predict the percentage that might reach 1,000,000 and the number likely that would fail at 10,000. So, if Canon follows that statistical method of calculating life, at 100,000 clicks, 90% of shutters should still be working. Stated differently, 10% will fail by the stated life.

In reliability or failure analysis, a stated "life" is the point at which 90% of the components will still function.

Once a camera's used prices drop down to around $400-500, it is almost cheaper to just sell the camera for parts on ebay, etc (big market), and buy someone else's lesser used item, than to send it in for repair. Just like buying a tire rated for 50,000 miles, it is just a rating, you may never reach that, or could go well over that. It is just an average statistic, that has no real bearing on how long your camera will last, nor affects your warranty one way or another. At the rate I am shooting, I feel like 100,000 is not that much :/Īs you have ascertained, that number shouldn't bother you. The shutter count is stored within each photo’s EXIF data. Finding the shutter count on Nikon & Pentax cameras. Consequently, most people are looking for second hand cameras that are around 50-60,000 actuations as a maximum. The only reason I ask is because I shoot lots of pictures when I go out on a shoot. It’s safe to say that most cameras will have a life of around 200,000 shutter actuations. When my 6D gets to that point, if it breaks due to maximum actuations achieved, would it be cheaper to get a new camera or replace the part needed? Generally speaking, when I get to around 100,000 actuations, what part of the camera breaks down? Is it the mirror that begins to not function when you get to around that number of shutter actuations? I'm not saying the camera won't last longer, but generally speaking. However, the program can offer you insight on the health of your device.Online, it says that the average 6D will last 100,000 shutter actuations. Some cameras can fail early on or outlive their warranty by twice the shutter counter. It can only read the firmware details stored by your camera, not determine its wear or estimate its value. Determine camera firmware with accuracyįree Shutter Count can reveal the real number of shutter activations.
#CANON 6D SHUTTER COUNT SERIES#
The application is compatible with the Canon EOS series and can read information from various models, including 350D, 450D, 1000D, Rebel T2i, Rebel XSi, 5D Mark II and Mark III.
#CANON 6D SHUTTER COUNT SERIAL NUMBER#
The tool can also determine the model of the camera, the serial number and firmware, along with the shutter count. Once the camera is connected, you might need to refresh the application. The program requires only that you connect your Canon DSLR camera to the computer via USB and turn it on so that it can read the count of shutter activations.
#CANON 6D SHUTTER COUNT INSTALL#
Easy to use applicationįree Shutter Count is simple to install and features an intuitive interface. It is a reliable tool for determining the value of the camera if you plan to sell or to buy a used one. The more shutter activations the camera has, the lower its value.įree Shutter Count can help you to accurately determine the number of shots a camera has recorded and determine its attrition. The usage and therefore value of the camera can be determined based on how many times it has captured images. Many DSLR devices feature a warranty for an approximate number of shutter activations, which usually reaches a value of few tens of thousands. The application can read the shutter count and thus determine how many times it captured photos or film.
