how to check shutter count using exiftool

So every 100 shots, camera increments second number by 64, at 256 shots it increments second number by 1 and resets third number.

Opened file number 258 and found 32, 6529, 2 So third number goes until 256 and then increments second number and starts from 1 Opened file number 252 and found: 32, 6528, 252 Opened file number 199 shot and found the numbers like this: 32, 6464, 199. Opened file number 97 shot and found the numbers like this: 32, 6400, 97. opened the first image ever shot with my camera (file number one) and I found this numbers 32, 6400, 1. I saved lots of pictures in my computer, including the first ones shot.

At line 0093 in opanda exif viewer there are some numbers.

Download Opanda IEXIF Viewer, yes it does store total number of shots taken with eos 350d!!! - but not in clear text.

I found a way to figure shutter count on my EOS 350d. I am not sure if this refers to the EOSInfo software or the availability of that information in general UPDATE (): Apparently, Canon has removed the facility for checking the shutter count on the 500D. It's not that I have anything against the owners of those cameras, but simply that the Canon SDK does not support retrieving the shutter count for them. The shutter counter will not be displayed (or will be displayed as '0') on the 1D*, 5D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 300D, 350D, and 400D. It will also show the shutter counter for the 5DMkII, but the camera must be power-cycled before the value is updated. This means that EOSInfo will display the shutter counter for the 40D, the 50D, the 450D, 500D, and the 1000D. The shutter count information is available only on Canon DIGIC III/IV DSLRs except the 1D* series.

Based on the notes on the EOSInfo website it seems that this information is not available for other models

I tested it on 40D and 450D and it worked fine. I have used before EOSInfo Utility but I am afraid it only supports 40D, 50D, 450D, 500D, 1000D and 5DmkII. I am not aware of any available software that would give you the shutter count for Canon 350D.
