Afterwards, it will remove all the triggers from the camera. Magic Lantern will pop up again and will count down 60 seconds. If you don’t want to keep the Magic Lantern in your camera, then go to the camera’s menu and initiate the firmware update again.The second number the the amount of shutter actuation in the live view mode. The first number is the amount of shutter actuations in the standard mode. There you will find the shutter count, which is a sum of two numbers. Press the “Av” / “trash bin” button on the camera to enter the Magic Lantern menu and go to the “Debug” section.Flash the Magic Lantern firmware to the camera.Copy Magic Lantern’s modified firmware files for the 1100D/T3 to the root directory of the memory card.Prepare the SD memory card by formatting it inside of the camera.
If your firmware version is different, then upgrade or downgrade the camera to the version 1.0.5 using Canon’s original firmware file “eos1100d-v105.zip” available at the Magic Lantern’s site.
Make sure that the camera is running the firmware version 1.0.5, because this is the only firmware version that Magic Lantern currently supports.To read the shutter count of the EOS 1100D (Rebel T3, Kiss X50) with Magic Lantern these steps should be followed: IMPORTANT! Be aware that you can brick you camera if something goes wrong! Do it on your own risk! Make sure that your camera battery is fully charged throughout the whole process. Thus, when buying a used 1100D it makes perfect sense to look for a camera that has the smallest shutter count. The Canon EOS 1100D camera has an expected lifetime of about 100K shutter actuations. DSLRs have an expected lifetime, which is generally counted in the amount of shutter actuations. It applies similarly to the DSLR cameras. Would you buy a used car without checking how many kilometers or miles were on it? Probably not. That’s why we’ll use a hacked firmware known as Magic Lantern to find out the shutter count. Canon, unfortunately, doesn’t provide an easy way to check the shutter count. This number is stored somewhere in camera’s internal memory and our task in this article is to reveal this number. So, basically the shutter count is just a number that reflects the amount of shutter actuations. The shutter is a very sensible part and is often prone to failure over the life of the camera. The second moving part is the mechanical shutter. This is the mirror, which allows you to look through the lens from the viewfinder and that swings up and out of the way when you take a photo. What Is Shutter Count?ĭigital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras have commonly two moving parts. In this article you will learn how to check shutter count on the Canon EOS 1100D (known as the EOS Rebel T3 or the EOS Kiss X50 in some regions) using the Magic Lantern firmware hack.
