I suppose I could have tried taking another shot then running it again to prove this theory but I didn't. Based on my file names and rough estimates of what I thought the count would be I found it to be accurate. Making sure you burn the CD as an image and not just the image file (if you look at the files on the CD after burning it there should be more than just one) is critical though otherwise it won't boot into the system. Basically you need to burn the file to a CD, restart your computer to boot to the CD then type in "shuttercounter" and that is it - and it reminds you how to do this once you boot to it too. One method I came across was ShutterCounter. This made me curious as to how to find this magical hidden number with methods that were free, didn't attempt to use EXIF data (which doesn't seem to work on newer cameras anyways), is relatively easy to use, with bonus points for being open source software. Hello everybody, as a Canon user I am always surprised that showing shutter actuations - the total count of times the shutter has been used for those that are newer to photography - isn't a standard feature in more cameras other than the 1D series.
