That was a man who knew how to thrash a camera. Not that they were failing, just that he was making sure they wouldn't when he was doing the serious shooting of the international cheer competitions.ĭo miss Hammy. Not since Hammy left this board have we encountered anyone who was replacing 1D shutters as they approached 400K clicks. As a statistician, I have my theoretical problems with the MTBF model, but it is a useful estimate of durability. MTBF is a statistical construct not an actual average of real shutter clicks in action. Modern cameras have MTBF ranging from 250,000 to 400,000. How fast? How loaded? Freeway? City crawl? Wana be dragster/road racer? Little old lady who never blew the carbon out?Ī click's a click. Unless a camera has been to Antarctica, dropped in a swimming pool, or the shutter left at B for so long as to burn the sensor, a click is a click.Ī mile is NOT a mile on a car. Sellers would down play shutter count but buyers want to know this information, like the mileage on used cars.īuyers think clicks are like miles, but that's so far off the mark as to be laughable. I looked around for a bit for something else without much success. There was a big update about a week ago and now Sierra can see RAW files but I have not tried Inspector yet but I doubt it will work. What OS? When I got my 5D4 a few weeks ago I was on Sierra and EOS Inspector did not work. Also I take note every time the count cycles back to 0001, putting a hash mark on a board for the number of 10K exposures for that particular body.īTW: shutterCount does not work on newer bodies, like my 5Ds R and 80D The 4 cameras that I normally shoot with are on the continuous count so I can just look at the last image for the image number. I have been careful with my memory cards which are formatted in the computer after downloading. Well, I am close enough to CPS Costa Mesa and can just walk the camera in for service or shutter count. I am more concerned about the videotime so I query about how the camera was used primarily. Sellers would down play shutter count but buyers want to know this information, like the mileage on used cars. Use it until shutter fails, that will take a long time unless you spray and pray Any suggestions? Would appreciate your help. I have bought latest shutter count app from apple store and it works great with any camera except 5D Mark IV. Does anybody know how to check shutter count on Canon 5D Mark IV camera.
