1v shutter count

[tscheung]

<p>Want to buy a 1v body, can someone help me how to check the shutter count?<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>You really can't check the shutter count. What you can check is how many rolls have been shot. That alone won't tell you because a roll could have been 12, 24, or 36 exposures.</p>

<p>Thanks Cesar,<br>

someone told me, this cam have a function to check the record, but not sure.<br>

as you said that, I assumed 36 exposures per each roll, can I?</p>

<p>Canon can hookup a doodad and download the shutter cycles. Some years back I attended a "Canon Days" clinic at Shirokiya and the tech read the shutter cycles off my EOS3 during the free checkup. Of course you'll probably have to pay for the service unless you have a friend at Canon Service. Nevertheless, not too likely the prior owner wore out the shutter unless he was a pro.</p>

<p>Thanks Puppy<br>

it means I cannot check by myself, and need send to Canon CS.</p>
