Would you buy a used car without checking how many kilometers or miles were on it? Probably not. That’s why we’ll use a hacked firmware known as Magic Lantern to find out the shutter count of the Canon EOS 550D camera. Canon, unfortunately, doesn’t provide an easy way to check the shutter count. This number is stored somewhere in camera’s internal memory and our task in this article is to reveal this number. The shutter count is just a number that reflects the amount of shutter actuations. The shutter is a very sensible part and is often prone to failure over the life of the camera. The second moving part is the mechanical shutter.
This is the mirror, which allows you to look through the lens from the viewfinder and that swings up and out of the way when you take a photo. Reading the shutter count using Magic Lantern’s Debug menu What Is Shutter Count?ĭigital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras have commonly two moving parts. Forgive the wobbling - noob Glidecam operator at work.In this article you will learn how to check shutter count on your Canon EOS 550D (also known as Canon EOS Rebel T2i in the Americas or Canon EOS Kiss X4 in Japan) using the Magic Lantern firmware hack. I tried the workflow out on a trip to Yosemite National Park a few years ago to ship this travel montage. Since both support Final Cut Pro XML, you can use them together! The tutorial shows an older version of DaVinci Resolve and Premiere, but the controls are still in roughly the same places in the latest versions. DaVinci Resolve has amazing color controls, but I’m more comfortable editing in Premiere. This tutorial walks through a round-tripping workflow for quickly wrangling hours of Magic Lantern footage. Anecdotally, I’ve been using Magic Lantern for over four years now with some crashes here and there, but no bricking. At worst, it could brick your camera and you’ll have an expensive decor piece for your studio. It goes without saying that using Magic Lantern is at your own risk. If you’re new to shooting raw, here’s a separate tutorial on getting started with 3K raw on a 5D Mark III. So if you still have a 5D Mark III and wouldn’t mind shooting some great footage, it might be time to freshen up those Magic Lantern raw skills. But the results are impressive for a camera that wasn’t designed to shoot raw footage!
Historically, the most difficult part about Magic Lantern raw has been the workflow: when shooting, the monitor barely works, and in post production, you have a tedious coloring and editing workflow.
But earlier this year, Magic Lantern enabled new 10-bit and 14-bit lossless modes to shoot 3.5K raw.
Sadly, continuous recording was iffy at best.
