Shutter count question

Does anyone in the forum know how I can determine the shutter count I have logged on my T3i? The camera is still going strong without any problems at all (except for a few dead pixels that appear as tiny red spots in some images). I am mostly just curious about this. Is there any indication how many shutter releases the average T3i can be expected to fire? My T3i is my first dslr and it has served that role fabulously.

As Tim mentioned, there's Shuttercount. But many other programs (that many camera owners already have) can give you the count as well. If all you want is the count then Shuttercount is probably the easiest, but it's good to have options:
Magic Lantern: Third party add-on for your camera. Free, but you install a firmware add-on onto your camera. Best to know what you're doing before installing. Again, if you just want the count there are better options.
DSLR Controller: An app for controlling your camera from a smart phone or tablet. Fantastic app, but it costs $10. I wouldn't spend it for just count, but the app itself is awesome if you want to control your camera remotely.
FoCal: A program for fine tuning your cameras autofocus. Unfortunately doesn't work with your camera, but most people who have fine-tunable cameras already own this so I thought I'd mention it.
APT: An astrophotography tool. There's a free trial for download that should tell you shutter count. Can't say I've tried it.

Shutter count

I just bought a used 1DS MKII. The camera had a new shutter installed by Canon last year and the first owner then stored it. I was curious about shutter count so went to myshuttercount.com and after uploading a JPEG from the camera, was told the camera had 28,388 activations.
My question: Canon resets the count after a new shutter is installed. Would that reset effect the information that myshuttercount gathers from a JPEG?

They do reset it. 28k is not a lot. I think the first owner just says he/she "store" but in reality he/she means "i don't use it as much".

How can I get the shutter count for my Canon 7D Mark II using Windows XP?

How can I get the shutter count for my Canon 7D Mark II using Windows XP? I've been looking lots of places and doing some file uploads, but I can't seem to find anything. I'm wary of downloading software I know nothing about. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Nevermind, just, sort of answered my own question. Doesn't work on XP, but using a Win 7 'puter I was able to use Shutter Count, which now works w/ the 7D Mark II.

5D Shutter Count in Bridge?

I'm told I can view my 5D shutter count in Bridge. Is this so, and if it's not in the Metadata, then where can it be located? TIA.

Had a discussion with someone over a year ago on this subject. He wanted to add camera info that was not in Bridge. Believe there is a way to do that, but can not remember final outcome.
Might be more productive if you start another thread with title something like - can I add camera exif data bridge does not read? Before you do this, do some searches here and on the web.
There was one Bridge hit that showed how to add cost of picture, but that was to IPTC. Guy wrote a paper on it and would e-mail it if interested.
Many hits on google also that you might want to sort though. Did not quickly see exactly what you were looking for.

Shutter count on Canon G1X

I just bought a Canon G1x and wish I knew how to find shutter actuations...or do I need some kind of Canon software? I was able to access shutter count on my G9 with a formatted SD card, but it doesnt work on this G1X. Anybody know how to find count on G1X?

How did you do it with the G9? As far as I've known the only way to be sure of the count was on early 1 series bodies using one of the programs designed to get it. Other than that the only way was to set the camere to "continous" when choosing the file numbering system. If you don't set it to that it restarts from 0001 each time you download & kills the idea of getting a count later in life. I have read about programs that can figure it out on newer bodies but so far they are all less than reliable.

Shutter count in Preview

Is the Image Count that's in Preview in Hex or Decimal? If you load a Nikon image either NEF or JPEG the Command I the Tabs for EXIF & Nikon show an image count.
I understood this was a Hex number but a new camera shows my image count matching the actual images I have taken.
Its a useful shutter count tool.
Anyone know the definitive answer?

Preview will hilight and display a count of the number of pages the target search string is found on.
If you want to literally count every word in document, there are many utils available as well as Pages and of course the terminal. I use either Pages or TextWrangler. To count words in a PDF I clipboard from Preview and dump into Pages and count there via 'Inspector'.

Where to find Shutter Count for Nikon Camera?

Is this part of the EXIF data that Aperture displays?

I just tried Cena's method of Exporting the file to the desktop. When I click on it and press Command - I, the shutter count doesn't show up.
Please read my instructions ;-)
In Aperture: show in finder (if you don't have referenced files export the file to desktop(export as original file!), open with preview app.
Then bring up the info dialog (press Command-i) klick on the i-icon/tab, this will bring up a nikon-tab. Here you can find the shuttercount.
You must first open the image with preview.app! before you press command-i. Then click on "i-icon".

Shutter Count for 60D

I've searched the web and googled to find a program that can tell me my shutter count on my Canon 60D. I only found 2 solutions, Eoscount, and Magic Lantern. I tried Eoscount and it would'nt work, I think because my Pc is 64 bit. I'm kind of leery to use Magic Lantern while my Camera is still under warranty. Does anyone know a program to find shutter count, or anyother way I can find my shutter count????.

"My 60D has 5,652 shutter counts. Only had my 60D for 3 months, I'm using up shutter counts fast. My shutter count life expectancy is 100,000. That puts me on track to reach 100,000 shutter counts within 2 years." Really? Is that "new math" ? 5652 divide by 3 to get monthly = 1884. 1884 x 24 months = 45,216. Not even half way!Golly gee Obiwan, I don't know what was in the milk I had last night, but yeah, that must be some kinda new math i figured with....you're correct Man, I have no idea how I was off that far. Though I did just throw the figures togather up in my head. I just re-did it on my calculator and came up with the same thing you did. But this makes me very happy to learn, now I can expect my 60D to get twice as much mileage as I had figured. Now appox 4 years before i need to worry, though I know my shutter may last long after 100,000....or before. That makes me feel real good, along with the fact that now I'm taking less pics everyday, and that will help also. Thanks for pointing that out, i'll sleep a little easier tonight

Play count question. I have about 500 songs in my library that I know have played at least once...probably just once. Although there is a "last played" date listed there is no number in the play count column. Any reason for this? thx

I have about 500 songs in my library that have played one time. Although a "last date played" date is noted, there is no number in the play count column. This only happens some times. Any reason for this, and can it be corrected? thx

Thanks, but the play count is not incrementing only on the very first play. All subsequent plays are fine. Meaning the play counts for these particular tracks are always one play short. I double-checked some of the tracks in question and I have not shortened, or stopped them early.

Dictionary, Table, Counter Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a special customer table (SE11) with the following fields and have question regarding TYPE etc:
Fields of table
CUST_ID
CUST_NAME
CUST_DESC
1. CUST_ID should work as a counter (increment by 1 every time.) What kind of TYPE should I use ?
(How do i do the increment stuff...)
2. CUST_DESC should be able to take approx 5 kb of data and be searchable in WHERE clause. What kind of TYPE should I use ?
3. Is there any advantages of creating/using Data Element instead of Build-in type ?
//Martin

Hi Martin,
1. SE11 will help you only to create a table, but not to add any special functionality (as far as i have known) the CUST_ID can be made as counter only by programming. while moving data use a variable to get the previous maximum CUST_ID value from the tabel and increment it before you insert the value into the table.
2. To give long descriptions declare the CUST_DESC as LCHR or LRAW types, i am not sure whether it will hold 5kb of data. Then searching for a particular word will not be a problem you can use,
SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
<option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
ABBREVIATED
STARTING AT <n1>
ENDING AT <n2>
AND MARK
can be used to find the required word.
3. I think this is what you meant - if a data element is created by a domain, the technical attributes of the domain are inherited by data elements and these domains can be used by any number of data elements, besides you can also create data elements by refering to the existing data elements using 'TYPE'.
Hope this helps.

WSA / CWS Licensing count question.

Hello,
I have a question how WSA and CWS are licensed based on the number of users.
Is it based on concurrent or named users, active sessions based on source IP address or another way? This old post mentions concurrent users but based on a legacy ironport ordering guide. And that document does not mention any licensing methods.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3949429
However for CWS i found this post:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/4003674
For the sizing it mentions: "It will be total number of CWS users, not concurrent users". Sizing is nog licensing, but the CWS datasheet mentions "The Cisco Web Security portfolio uses tiered pricing based on the number of users".
I believe there are licenses allowing mixed use of CWS and WSA in combination with the free Virtual Applicances. Is this correct and how does this reflect on my question regarding user licensing?

Hi,
It's based on the number of named users, however there is no absolute way to count the users so it's a trust thing too and you should be honest about how many users you have.
Thanks
Chris

Counter Questions Using PCI6602

I have a couple of questions regarding the operation of the PCI6602. I am programming in VB.NET.
Can you have multiple tasks that each correspond to one Counter Input Channel being used at the same time (i.e. trying to read a small angle inside another larger angle using encoders)?
Is there any way to setup a trigger based on a counter count value (i.e. once the count value hits 180 degrees raise a digital bit)?

Justin,
You cannot have two tasks running simultaneously that are using the same counter input channel. You can, however, connect the same signal to two of your counter channels and have two tasks monitoring the two different channels.
As far as triggering off of a counter value. The best that you can do is a software trigger. In DAQmx, in LV 7.1 you can do a timed loop that waits for the event to occur (i.e. counter reaching a value). I am not aware of this implementation in VB, but it is still nothing more than a fancy software trigger. You would need to poll the counter and then run the DIO task when it reaches its value.

Sum/Count Question

Hi: I'm very new to Crystal Reports, and have a question that is probably pretty simple, but has me stumped and at a standstill...
I've built a report in Excel that determines the number of days between two date columns, then has a series of summary fields that count how many records have 1 day, how many have 2 days, ... 3 days, etc... I'm trying to build something similar in CR that will do the same thing, but I can't find it. I'm thinking it should have something to do with the Count (fld, condfld) function, but think I'm having trouble getting the syntax right. Any help here?
Thanks!

I'm now looking for a way to show that result as a percentage of all records returned
Sure. Lets assume you have a formula @DaysDiff which is calculating the days difference between two days. Not let's say you have a running total RT_OneDaysDiff which is counting your records but only when @DaysDiff = 1. If you want to know the percentage of records where Days Diff = 1 compared to the total number of records, you would create a formula as followis:
if @count(rowidentifier) <> 0
then @RT_OneDaysDiff / count(rowidentifier)
Fuskie
Who would then repeat for each desired number of days difference...

Apex_application.g_fxx.count Question (problem?)

Do the apex_application.g_fxx variables need to be shown on the page (region) in order for apex_application.g_fxx.count to return a non-zero value?
I'm trying to figure out why I spent a day trying to get something to work, and it seems like this is what it was, though I'm not quite sure.
In my report region, I have a column that when shown, my process works correctly, where a loop that has the form of:
FOR i IN 1 .. APEX_APPLICATION.g_f16.COUNT
LOOP
This performs the statements within the loop.
However, if that column is not shown (under Report attributes, unclick the Show box), then the process does not seem to execute the statements inside the loop.
The only thing I can think of is that when it's marked as not shown, then the COUNT has no value, even though it seems like it should. Does COUNT only return the count of displayable items in the column, so if it's not shown, it's zero?
It also may be how the report region is defined as well I suppose. It seems like ApEx should understand it okay, but who knows. It's simply a join of two inline views, so I can pre-populate the region with values from another table if this table didn't have any entries.
This is Apex 2.2.1.00.04. One of these days I'll get caught up enough to upgrade to 3.0.
Thanks,
Bill Ferguson

Hi Patrick,
I suppose I also should have stated that this is a manually generated report region, using the apex_application.[item_type] syntax, where I have to specify the array (item) number. I just tested with Firebug, and if I change the number of the second column to 22, it's shown as f22 instead of f02.
g_f16 was the next to the last column, though the one after it is a hidden column (apex_application.hidden).
My report region is such, that g_f03 andg f16 are the only columns I can verify will actually have some data in it, as I force a value into gf16 if the second half of my union is selecting null values, so I could get around the null sorting problem (NULLS LAST didn't work, even on 10gR2, so I'm doing something else wrong).
Anyway, I can use the values of the columns, whether they are displayed or not, it's just that apex_application.g_f16.COUNT always returned a zero when the column was hidden, even though it consisted of an array of 5 values. Trying to track it down I was able send the value of the column to a logging table, so I was able to see that I was getting the values, just not the count of values.
