Drop a CR2 RAW file from your Canon EOS 6D Mark II and get the shutter actuation count in seconds — processed entirely in your browser, never uploaded anywhere.
Check Shutter Count →The Canon EOS 6D Mark II (2017) is Canon's most accessible full-frame DSLR — the camera that put full-frame photography within reach of serious enthusiasts and budget-conscious professionals. Featuring a 26.2 MP full-frame sensor, Dual Pixel AF with 45 AF points, a fully articulating touchscreen, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GPS and Digic 7, the 6D Mark II became the go-to lightweight full-frame DSLR for travel, landscape and event photographers. Its shutter is rated for 100,000 actuations.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Rated Shutter Life | RAW Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canon EOS 6D Mark II | 2017 | 26.2 MP full-frame | 100,000 actuations | CR2 |
| Canon EOS 6D | 2012 | 20.2 MP full-frame | 100,000 actuations | CR2 |
| Canon EOS RP | 2019 | 26.2 MP full-frame | Not published | CR3 |
The Canon 6D Mark II does not display the shutter count in its on-screen menus. The count is written into the MakerNote of every CR2 RAW file.
When buying a second-hand 6D Mark II, the actuation count tells you how much of the rated 100,000-shot shutter life has been consumed.
| Actuation Count | % of Rated Life | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 10,000 | 0 – 10 % | Very low use — near new |
| 10,000 – 30,000 | 10 – 30 % | Low use — plenty of life remaining |
| 30,000 – 60,000 | 30 – 60 % | Moderate use — typical for an enthusiast body |
| 60,000 – 90,000 | 60 – 90 % | High use — negotiate price accordingly |
| 90,000 + | 90 %+ | Near or past rated life — budget for shutter replacement |
The Canon 6D Mark II writes images in Canon's CR2 format — a TIFF-based RAW container. ShutterCount parses the TIFF IFD structure, locates the Canon MakerNote, and reads the shutter count information from the embedded EXIF data.
All processing happens in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
Canon does not reliably embed the shutter counter in JPEG files. Use a CR2 RAW file for accurate results. If you shoot RAW+JPEG, use the CR2 side of the pair.
Shoot a CR2 RAW file with your 6D Mark II, then drop it into shuttercount.app. The metadata is read entirely in your browser — no upload needed.
Canon rates the EOS 6D Mark II at 100,000 actuations. This is a median estimate; individual shutters may last significantly longer or fail earlier.
Only a Canon authorised service centre can reset the hardware counter after a physical shutter replacement. EXIF-editing tools overwrite metadata but cannot alter the in-camera counter. Always verify from an original CR2 RAW file.
Yes, especially for photographers who want an affordable entry into full-frame DSLR shooting. It offers excellent image quality, reliable Dual Pixel AF, and access to Canon's enormous EF lens ecosystem — often for a fraction of the price of a modern mirrorless body.
Both share the same 26.2 MP sensor. The 6D Mark II offers a better optical viewfinder experience and longer battery life; the RP is lighter and gives access to Canon's RF lenses. If you already own EF glass, the 6D Mark II remains an excellent value.
