shutter count on a 7D

Hi folks

Just got a used 7D body. I want to know how many shots it took. Can't find any software online to check the

shutter count, exept the "gphoto2" thing (

http://www.twam.info/software/read-out-canon-eos-7d-shuttercount-on-os-x) that i don't understand at all (for

linux gig i guess?) I have a mac and a window computer, the old 40dShutterCount.app doesn't work for the 7D

Any clue?

Thanks

<p>Search the archives. There seems to be no software available that give you a reliable shutter count. Besides that, why is this info so important. Whatever the result the shutter can fails after 10 or 100,000 shots, so why bother?</p>

<p>The only viable shutter count solution for the 7D is the Linux one.</p>

<p>very easy to compile on Mac</p>

<p>Thank you guys for your answers. Well too bad there are no software for the 7D; i like to know how many click my camera has since, yes, it can fail anytime but still, it has been tested for 150 000 clicks, and i shoot a lot!<br>

Wish i knew how to deal with the linux thing...<br>

<p>I saw a "Linux for Dummies" book on Amazon.</p>

<p>bruno, that link you have in your original post shows you exactly how to get gphoto2 up and running on a Mac with very little trouble. </p>

<p>Yes, thanks, i have download the software gphoto2 and then the Homebrew. I just don't know what to do with it, i don't understand nothing about the "terminal"and all these funny lines...<br>

It seems like it is not just an ordinary software that you install in your application folder and just run.<br>

Anyways, i think i'm gonna live with the mystery of my 7D shuttercount</p>
