Here's how: 1  Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees bent slightly. 2  Lean forward, placing your hands just above your knees. 3  Round your back so that your chest is closed and your shoulders are curved forward.  Then arch your back so that your chest opens and your shoulders roll 1  back. Repeat several times.
Typically this count is between 100,000 and 300,000 shutter actuations, with the latter limit associated with the EOS-1D models. In fact, the Camera Shutter Life Expectancy Database is a really neat user-based site for DSLR models of several brands, including Canon.
I was wondering how to find out the shutter count (number of shutter actuations) for my Canon 5d2, and it took a while to find a good method that did not cost anything. If you have a Canon camera then here are some tips:1  EOSCount.com is a website that many photography forums mention.2  It allows users to get a shutter count for most current EOS Digital SLRâs. 3  It used to be free, but now there is a small payment required (paypal) to find out the information.
