Canon doesn’t have shutter count included on the EXIF information of an image file, as opposed to Nikon and Pentax.
There’s no official Canon based application to find the shutter count for an EOS DSLR.
However, there are a few free tools that may help you to do this. They provide some details about the camera, including product Name, firmware version, battery level, shutter Counter, date/time, and owner/artist/copyright strings. But it does not support this features: Editing the owner/artist/copyright and synchronizing date/time within the local PC's date/time.
For that, I wrote a new utility that includes all these features by integrating those that were missing.
I uses an official Canon SDK (Canon ED-SDK) to retrieve and set all camera information (shutter count is retrieved via an undocumented function).
The Canon Digital Camera SDKs is freely available on this official link: https://www.didp.canon-europa.com.
for more info read the text file "readme.txt" please.

Does not work on 7DMKII. When you connect the camera it says "7DMKII detected" at the bottom, but then if you hit the "Connect" button it says the camera is not connected.

I downloaded the SDF 3.5 version for Canon 5DS and it gave me endless popup messages saying "Violation dáccès à ládresse 0060FC1C dans le module 'CanonEosDigitalInfo.exe'. Lecture ds ládresse 00000000." I think I had about 500 of them by the time I rebooted the computer and it took ages to restart. What have you done to my computer? DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE! IT DOES NOT WORK AND IS MALWARE
