What's New in ShutterLife

1.0.6

August 11, 2026

HEIF files are now read. If you shoot in HDR mode on Canon, Sony or Fujifilm, ShutterLife reads the shutter count from .HIF files too. History becomes your camera's timeline. Every reading now shows the capture date as recorded by the camera, because a shutter count is as old as the photo it came from. The camera card and the copyable report state the date too. A tidier History. A clearer header, honest notes for cameras without a confirmed manufacturer rating, and the CSV export explains its lower-bound column. Better with VoiceOver. The camera card speaks every line in visible order, and percentages are no longer rounded when spoken. Small fixes in the help texts, including the X100 series.

Canon R6

Wollte mir gebraucht eine Canon R6 holen, war aber unsicher wie viel die schon runter hat. Hab mir vom Verkäufer vorher einfach ein Foto schicken lassen und konnte damit über ShutterLife den Auslösezähler auslesen, noch bevor ich überhaupt hingefahren bin. Wert hat gepasst, also zugeschlagen. Top Kauf. Den Stand behalte ich jetzt monatlich im Auge. Geht schnell und hat zuverlässig funktioniert.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für die starke Rückmeldung! Genau dafür haben wir ShutterLife gebaut, vor dem Gebrauchtkauf schnell Klarheit über den Auslösezähler, bevor man überhaupt hinfährt. Schön, dass es bei deiner R6 reibungslos geklappt hat und du den Stand jetzt im Blick behältst. Viel Freude mit der Kamera und gutes Licht!

Canon 5d Mark iv wird nicht unterstützt

Canon 5d Mark iv wird nicht unterstützt. Anders als in der Beschreibung dargestellt!

Response from developer

Danke für den Hinweis, das war ein Fehler in unserer Beschreibung, der inzwischen korrigiert ist. Die Canon 5D Mark IV speichert ihren Auslösezähler technisch nicht in den Bild-Metadaten, aus denen ShutterLife liest. Gelistet sind jetzt nur Kameras, die wirklich funktionieren: bei Canon die spiegellosen R5, R6, R6 II, R8, R50, RP und R7, dazu Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Pentax sowie Leica und Ricoh.
