Canon 20D and ShutterCount tag

Posted on 2006-06-27 11:07:12-07 by kaapoa

Hi, I'm trying to read ShutterCount tag, but It doesn't return anything. perl exiftool -ShutterCount canoneos20d.jpg Reading FileNumber seems to work perl exiftool -FileNumber canoneos20d.jpg File Number : 895-9501 -kaapoa-

Re: Canon 20D and ShutterCount tag

This information is written differently by different Canon models. The information is essentially the same, but the method of decoding it is different, so I have given it different tag names. It is called "FileNumber" for the 20D and 350D, and ShutterCount for other EOS models. I know this is a bit confusing, but the decoding of FileNumber (thanks Juha Eskelinen), is also a bit confusing.
