Hello,

I'm trying to determine the shutter count of my Canon R5. I'm using Ubuntu & trying to extract metadata from a .CR3 file shot with my R5.

When running $ exiftool -shuttercount 3M2A5164.CR3
I don't get any values.

When running $ exiftool -all 3M2A5164.CR3
I don't get the shutter count

When running $ exiftool -U output 3M2A5164.CR3
I get the values attached.

From my understanding these should relate to the shutter count? Doesn't seem right.

If anyone could shed some light/point me towards the right documentation, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Try updating to the current version of ExifTool.

Thanks Phil, I didn't realise I didn't have the latest version installed. I updated to v 13.29 and now I'm able to get the shutter count.

Am I right in saying the 'shutter count' value is the digital and mechanical shutter counts combined?

Thanks
