Releases

What’s new

• When you start a purchase from the app, it now recognises the completed website purchase and offers to apply it to this computer in one step.
• Bought earlier or installing on another computer? “Activate my purchase” sends you a fresh, secure link that opens the app and applies your licence. Your permanent licence key still works as before.

Improvements

• The activation screen now clearly separates entering a key, activating an existing purchase and managing licences already on your account.
• Licence recovery is now available during first-run setup and translated into all 30 supported languages.

Fixes

• Paid activation links now replace a free preview correctly instead of saying the preview is already active.
• Camera recovery instructions no longer reset while the app checks whether your camera is ready.

What’s new

• On older Canon cameras like the EOS 300D and 10D, the location where the shutter count is stored is specific to the firmware version. If the app comes across a version it has not seen before, it now offers you a guided check that helps find it. Thank you for your help!

Improvements

• Improved connection reliability for the Canon EOS 20D, 30D, 350D and original 5D on Mac.
• Added a guided check for more older Canon DSLRs.

Fixes

• Fixed text entry on macOS Monterey and Ventura, including licence activation, support, search and Wi-Fi fields.
• Refined licence activation, removal and refresh behaviour.
• Updated the selected licence field styling.

What’s new

• Another landmark old Canon is working: the EOS D30 from 2000, the first DSLR designed and built entirely by Canon, can now report its shutter count over USB.
• I’ve added initial support for the Canon EOS 350D. Plug it in and grab your shutter count. There are still a few things I’d like to test with this camera, but the shutter count itself is working without issue.
• Windows camera recovery has been rebuilt. If Windows is still setting up a camera, has stranded its Portable Device driver, or is using an incompatible third-party USB driver, the app now identifies the exact problem, opens Device Manager for you, gives you the correct repair steps, and keeps watching until the camera is ready.
• If a supported camera works but this computer is getting in the way, you can now try another Windows PC or Mac without removing your licence first. The app creates a secure one-time code; this computer stays licensed until the other one is ready, and the move completes as one safe operation.

Improvements

• When a camera model is already proven to work, the recovery screen now says so clearly. Where that exact model is also proven over Wi-Fi, the app offers Wi-Fi as a way around a broken Windows USB setup.
• Support reports opened from camera recovery now arrive with the camera and connection details already attached, so there is less for you to do before I can help.

Fixes

• Wi-Fi checks on modern Canon cameras no longer make an older property request that can stall the connection before the real shutter counter is requested. This fixes the route used by cameras including the EOS 250D, Rebel SL3, Kiss X10 and EOS R6 Mark II.

Improvements

• Checks over USB on Windows are faster.
• On Windows, a camera that Windows can see but the app cannot is now picked up automatically instead of staying stuck on Connecting.

Fixes

• On Windows, Cancel now stops a check that has stalled.
• Improved the advice shown when another app on Windows is holding your camera, and the app no longer keeps retrying a read that cannot succeed.
• Starting a check while one is already running now tells you a check is in progress.
• Corrected the rated shutter life for the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II, so its shutter health percentage reads correctly.

What’s new

• Another massive update for me. I’ve managed to get hold of and work out the D60, the Canon camera that literally changed my life and allowed me to become a professional photographer. Without this camera I can pretty safely say I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am now and would never have written this app. I ran my old D60 shutter really hard, shooting day and night in London for years. I’ve never seen anyone be able to get a count out of this camera, ever. So I am beyond pleased to say, now you can, and the body I bought from eBay is virtually new at 4,331 shots. I’m really only adding these super old cameras for the love, I don’t even know if anyone out there still uses a D60? If anyone found this update useful, please tell me!
• The EOS R6 V is now recognised by name when you connect it, instead of showing up as an unknown camera.

Improvements

• Checks on the oldest EOS bodies now retry when the camera answers with a short reply, so your result keeps its firmware version instead of quietly losing it.
• If the app cannot close the connection cleanly after a read, it now tells you to remove and refit the battery rather than leaving you to work out why the camera is unresponsive.

Fixes

• On Mac, camera-access permission detection is far more reliable. The app now keeps track of a denied removable-volumes permission across checks, ignores a reading that spans a permission repair, stops waiting as soon as your camera becomes visible, and no longer deadlocks while a permission prompt is still on screen.
• A camera left stranded by an earlier check is no longer picked up for recovery while a different body is halfway through its own check.
• The note explaining how a read was taken now sits in its own slot under the result card rather than on the card itself.
• Choosing “Have a key” in Settings now takes you straight to the licence field instead of the General section.
• The advice shown when a camera is not ready no longer assumes Canon software is what is holding the connection.

Improvements

• Improved serial number handling for Canon DSLRs checked over USB on Windows and over Wi-Fi, including older bodies such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
• Serial numbers now match the number printed on the camera exactly, so a camera is recognised as the same body on Windows and Mac.
• Improved shutter count code for the Canon EOS 5D over USB.
• The Canon EOS 20D, EOS 30D and EOS 5D now return to their normal USB connection within a few seconds after an interrupted check.
• Results for the Canon EOS 20D, EOS 30D and EOS 5D now note that your reading is complete and the camera stays busy until you switch it off and on again.
• On Mac, improved the advice shown for a camera that stays connected but never becomes ready.

Fixes

• The photo activity chart and shooting locations map on the Statistics screen now follow the camera you select.
• Camera tooltips on the Statistics screen now show your camera’s name without repeating the brand.
• On Mac, a check now continues when the same camera appears twice in the system camera list.

What’s new

• The Mac app can now be installed on macOS Monterey 12.7.6 and later. Monterey and Ventura are available on a best-effort basis; macOS 14.4 remains the supported requirement. On older versions, the welcome tour and result cards use simplified rendering to prevent black artwork, colour shifts, and rough 3D effects.

Improvements

• Fujifilm research checks now show model-specific USB menu instructions and guide you through two reads with exactly one mechanical-shutter photo between them. On Windows, the app can now receive the counter-property data these checks need.
• On Mac, cameras that briefly reconnect while reading a busy memory card are retried as soon as they return, instead of waiting up to 90 seconds.
• On Windows, Canon USB checks now make a fresh request when the first shutter-data response is empty, instead of immediately reporting that the camera is not ready. Seen in 1.0.46 on the EOS R6, M50, M6 Mark II, 7D Mark II, R7, R50 V, RP, R, 1300D and 90D.

Fixes

• On Mac, the app no longer interrupts a camera-access permission prompt while macOS is waiting for your answer. It can also detect a stalled prompt when another scanner or imaging device is connected and offer the existing one-click repair.
• Canon firmware versions now appear correctly on results from Windows USB checks.

Canon camera improvements

• Added USB shutter count support for the Canon EOS 30D.
• Corrected the EOS 30D rated shutter life to 100,000 actuations for accurate camera health reporting.
• Improved compatibility with alternative Windows USB driver configurations for supported older Canon EOS cameras.
• Invalid zero mechanical shutter counts are now treated as unreadable instead of being shown as successful results.
• Improved macOS diagnostics for Canon cameras that take longer to become available after connecting.

Fixes

• The EOS-1D X Mark II now reports its shutter count over USB. It previously came back as zero actuations, which is not a number any used camera has.
• The firmware version shown for the EOS 5D, 300D and 10D now matches the version printed in the camera’s own menu. These cameras were reporting an extra fourth number that appears nowhere on the camera itself.

Fixes

• The “Connecting via USB” status is now displayed in your own language, as is the message shown if you press Check before the camera is ready.

Improvements

• Cameras now appear the moment you plug them in. On Windows and Mac the app is told about the connection as it happens, instead of looking for new cameras every few seconds.
• Some cameras take Windows a while to become ready. The original EOS 5D can take up to 30 seconds, because Windows sets its driver up again on every connection. The app now names the camera as soon as it appears on the USB port and shows “Connecting via USB” until it is ready, instead of showing an empty screen for half a minute.
• The EOS-1D Mark III and the PowerShot SD780 IS are now recognised when you plug them in over USB.

Fixes

• With reduced motion turned on in your system settings, the connecting and reading indicators sat still, which made a long check look like it had frozen. They now keep moving, at a gentler speed.
• The check screen no longer rearranges itself partway through a reading if the camera drops off the USB connection.
• In rare cases a damaged database could stop the app from opening, and every launch after that failed the same way. The damaged files are now set aside properly, so the app starts again with a fresh database.

What’s new

• Confirmed EOS 5D support. The original 5D from 2005 now shows its shutter count over USB on Windows and Mac. I have a massive love for this camera: I used it for years of commercial work back in the day, and I’d say it is one of the most legendary cameras of modern times.
• If you have ever bought or sold a used 5D, you have read the line in the listing: “Sorry, there is no software to check the shutter count on this camera model. I have tried them all.” Every seller writes a version of it, and until now every seller was right. The 5D does not write its count into photos, and no app for modern systems could ask the camera for it. That ends with this release. I know the listing line well, because the 5D I bought to test with arrived from an eBay seller who wrote exactly that. Its true count turned out to be 10,471 actuations, against Canon’s 100,000 shutter rating. Whatever you call yours (EOS 5D, 5D classic, or 5D Mark I), the check is the same: plug in a USB cable and press Check. If you sell one, you can finally put the real number in the listing.
• If the camera’s battery is low, the app warns you before the check starts and asks you to charge first. As with the other DIGIC II cameras, Windows needs a one time driver setup, offered when you plug the camera in.

Improvements

• The EOS M10 now attempts a USB reading, using the same method that brought the EOS M and M2 to life in an earlier release. If you own one, plugging it in helps confirm the method works.
• The PowerShot SX730 HS is now recognised when you plug it in over USB.

Fixes

• The EOS-1Ds Mark III is now correctly identified when connected over USB. It was previously shown as the EOS-1D Mark III.
• A Windows connection problem in the first moments of a USB read is now reported as a connection problem, rather than as a camera the app could not recognise.
• With a camera connected in photo mode, the camera row no longer repeats itself beneath the drop zone.

What’s new

• I am delighted to introduce another major new feature: Fujifilm cameras can now read their shutter count over USB. The X-H2 and X-H2S are confirmed working, tested on my personal bodies. When you plug one in, the app tells you the exact menu settings to use.
• If you own a different Fujifilm camera, the app now offers a safe, read only test that helps work out whether your model shares its shutter count too. Nothing on the camera is changed, and no photos are touched. It takes a few seconds and will help me add supported models in future releases.

Improvements

• The EOS 300D now reads in about a second, instead of the twenty or so it took in 1.0.40. Nothing about the reading changed, it just no longer waits between steps it does not need to wait between.
• Cameras connected over USB now always show the brand with the model, so you see “Fujifilm X-H2S” and “Canon EOS R5” rather than the model on its own.
• Plugging in a camera that cannot be read over USB now tells you which brands can be, and points you at dropping a photo in instead. Photo checks cover many more cameras than USB does.

Fixes

• The EOS 300D is known as the Digital Rebel in North America again, and the EOS 250D is now correctly called the Rebel SL3, a name it should always have had. Cameras reporting themselves by those names were not being recognised.

What’s new

• A very exciting release for me: it takes the app back to DIGIC 1, the generation where I started as a professional working photographer. My first professional camera was an EOS D60, which is not supported yet, but for now I have the next best thing: confirmed EOS 300D support. I will keep working on this generation, I just need to track down the bodies, which are harder to come by these days.
• The EOS 300D now reads its shutter count over USB. If the camera is connected in PTP mode, the app explains which menu setting to change.
• Experimental support for the EOS 10D. If you own one, give it a try and let us know how it goes.
• As with the DIGIC II cameras, Windows needs a one time driver setup, offered when you plug the camera in.

Improvements

• The EOS 350D and EOS 400D now each read with a method built for that exact model. If 1.0.39 could not read yours, try again with this version.
• When connecting to a camera over WiFi, the app now asks you to confirm the pairing prompt on the camera screen, waits a moment before allowing a retry, and keeps connection errors on screen instead of clearing them after a few seconds.

Fixes

• It turns out the EOS 30D does not accept the reading method the other DIGIC II cameras use (thank you to the owner who found this), so it cannot be read yet. The app now says this clearly instead of asking you to restart a camera that never changed. I’m going to buy a 30D and solve this as soon as I can.
• Older Canon cameras now report the real reason a read failed instead of a generic error.

What’s new

• Initial support for DIGIC II cameras, such as the EOS 20D, 30D, 350D, 400D and 5D. Only the EOS 20D is confirmed so far. If you own one of the others, give it a try and let us know how it goes. If a reading is interrupted, switch the camera off and on again.
• For DIGIC II cameras, Windows needs a one time driver setup, offered when you plug the camera in.

What’s new

• Cameras set to “Connect to smartphone” are now found and read over WiFi. Previously only the EOS Utility pairing option worked.
• When a camera reports a shutter count we cannot decode, you can now send its firmware details in one tap to help us add support.

Improvements

• Clearer messages when a camera on WiFi cannot be reached, stops responding partway through, or refuses the connection. These used to appear as raw system errors, sometimes in the wrong language.
• A WiFi check that loses the camera now stops straight away instead of waiting through several timeouts.
• After a WiFi check, a note explains the connection message some Canon bodies show on their own screen once the reading finishes.

Fixes

• A camera joining WiFi no longer appears twice in the picker, and no longer lingers in the list once it has gone.
• The error shown for one WiFi camera no longer stays on screen after that camera disappears.

Fixes

• Clearer guidance when a camera is connected but not ready yet: wait a few seconds and check again. Seen on the EOS RP, EOS 90D, EOS R10 and EOS R5 C.
• Over WiFi, a camera that refuses remote control now points you to the right pairing option.
• Photo checks on the EOS-1D Mark III and EOS-1Ds Mark III now read the count correctly.
• A camera no longer appears twice in Gear when its serial number cannot be read on one check.
• On Mac, a camera that briefly resets itself is no longer reported as unplugged.

Fixes

• On Mac, a check that starts while the camera is still busy (just after plugging in, or while it is reading its memory card) now says so and asks you to run the check again in a moment. The app used to spend ten seconds on it and then show a generic read error, even though trying again a moment later worked. Seen on the EOS R5 and EOS R5 C.
• On Mac, the app now makes one extra attempt at the point the camera is most likely to be ready, so more of these checks succeed without you having to try again.

What’s new

• Check a Canon camera over Wi-Fi, with no cable. Turn on WiFi Camera Discovery under Check in Settings: the app does not touch your network until you do. Then put the camera into EOS Utility mode and it will appear on Windows and Mac, or type the camera’s IP address in yourself.

Improvements

• The whole app can now be driven from the keyboard, with a visible focus outline on every control.
• On Windows, when another program has hold of the camera, the app now tells you to close it. It used to say to wait a moment and run the check again, which cannot help: EOS Utility, Photos or Dropbox keeps the camera until you quit it.

Fixes

• On Windows, a check that cannot read the camera now finishes in about a second instead of freezing for half a minute first. The app used to make one last request that some cameras never answer, which held the connection open for around 30 seconds and then blamed the camera, telling you to unplug it and try again. It now tells you plainly that it could not read the count.
• On Mac, the app no longer blames a privacy setting when the camera is the problem. Another camera program being refused access could trip our warning, which sent people to System Settings to reset a permission that was working perfectly. The app now checks whether the refusal was ours, and tells you when the camera simply never answered instead. Seen on the EOS 5D Mark IV.
• The EOS-1D X Mark III is no longer read and saved as an EOS-1D X Mark II, and the EOS 200D II is no longer saved as an EOS 200D. Both were read using the other camera’s settings and filed under the wrong name in your Gear list, with nothing to show anything was wrong.
• The app no longer says your computer’s clock is wrong when it has simply not been able to reach our server for a while. That message now appears only when the clock really is the problem.
• The licence screen now shows the correct number of computers your licence covers, taken from your account.
• Settings no longer cuts off longer values in the Date Format and Time Format menus.
• The result card now stays inside the window when the window is narrow.

Fixes

• On Mac, opening the app straight from the disk image now explains what to do about it. The app used to report that a privacy setting was blocking the camera, which sent people looking in the wrong place. All that is needed is to drag the app to your Applications folder and open it from there.
• On Mac, the Terminal command shown when camera access stays blocked now has a Copy button.
• The Check screen no longer overlaps itself when the window is made short.

Improvements

• On Windows, USB checks now start straight away. About one check in fifty used to sit for anywhere between ten seconds and five minutes before the app made contact with the camera, with Cancel unable to respond during that wait.

Fixes

• Some Canon cameras reported that the shutter count could not be read and asked you to take a photo and check again, when the camera had in fact sent the count. Affects the EOS 1000D, EOS 40D, EOS 6D and EOS 5D Mark III, on both Windows and Mac.
• On Windows, a camera could stop being readable once the USB driver had been installed for it. The check gave up in a fraction of a second instead of falling back to the standard Windows connection, which reads these cameras perfectly well. Seen on the EOS RP, EOS 750D and EOS 5DS R.
• A camera read through an installed USB driver could be saved as a second, separate camera, splitting its history in your Gear list instead of adding to the camera you already had.

What’s new

• On Mac, the app now spots when a saved privacy setting is stopping it from seeing your camera, and offers a one click fix. This is the cause behind cameras that never show up even though they are plugged in and switched on, with no error to explain it. After the fix, unplug the camera and connect it again. The app waits for that reconnection before telling you whether the fix worked.

Fixes

• On Windows, a camera whose USB connection has locked up is now reported straight away, instead of after a 30 second wait. The wait was there to give the camera a chance to recover, but it never actually rescued one. Reconnecting the camera and checking again is what clears it, so the app now tells you that immediately.
• Canon PowerShot G12 and PowerShot A590 IS now report that they do not make a shutter count available, instead of asking you to take a photo and check again. Neither camera can return one over USB, so the old advice could never work.
• When a camera is busy, the app now asks you to wait a few seconds and check again, rather than telling you to power it off and on. Looking at how these checks actually recover, waiting about ten seconds is what works. Powering the camera off and on was never needed.
• On Windows, a camera that is unplugged or lost partway through a check is now reported as a connection problem, with a prompt to check the cable, rather than as a stuck camera.

Fixes

• On Windows, Canon EOS R and EOS RP cameras now connect reliably over USB. While setting up the connection the app asked these cameras for an older setting they do not use, which could lock up the link before the shutter count was ever read.
• USB checks now recover when a Canon camera replies with a leftover response that carries no shutter count. The app asks the camera again instead of giving up and reporting that the counter was not recognised, which sent you off to take a photo and check again for no reason. Seen on cameras such as the Canon EOS 700D.
• On Mac, a camera that does not answer the very first request is now reported as a connection problem, with a prompt to reconnect it. This previously surfaced as a generic communication error that gave you nothing to act on, when reconnecting the camera is what actually clears it.

Improvements

• Clearer help when a Canon camera cannot be read over USB. When the camera is not ready or the connection has dropped, the app now points you to the right next step, such as reconnecting or power cycling the camera, instead of asking you to take a photo and check again.
• On Mac, a check against an unresponsive Canon camera now ends promptly with a clear result, rather than quietly retrying in the background.

Improvements

• More reliable USB connections on Windows, including a faster response when you cancel a check that is taking too long.
• Improved support and reliability for a range of Canon EOS cameras.

What’s new

• The app is now available in Romanian, Slovak, and Persian: 31 languages in total.

Improvements

• The language choices on the welcome screen now lead with the languages most relevant to your region.

Fixes

• Fixed USB checks on Canon cameras that repeatedly failed with “we’re having trouble reading the shutter count” even though the camera was connected and responding (seen on the EOS 50D, 5D Mark III, 2000D, and others). A camera sends its details once per connection, and another program on the computer can use that up: the app now asks the camera to send them again, so the check completes.
• When a camera really isn’t sending any data, the error now says what actually helps: power the camera off and on, and close other Canon software such as EOS Utility. Before, it wrongly suggested taking another shot and rechecking.

Improvements

• USB checks on macOS now work with a full memory card in the camera. Reading a card with hundreds of photos can take a few minutes: the app now shows what is happening, offers the choice to wait or remove the card for an instant result, and completes the check either way.
• A Cancel button now appears while a USB check is running, so a slow read never locks the check screen.
• USB checks on Windows recover automatically from most connection hiccups: a stalled read now retries on a fresh connection in seconds instead of failing after a long freeze.

Fixes

• Unplugging the camera mid-check now says so clearly on both platforms, instead of reporting the camera as busy or showing a long timeout.
• Fixed several camera connection errors on macOS that were wrongly reported as “we can’t read this camera”: the app now tells you it was a connection problem and that trying again will likely work.
• Fixed activation hanging forever when an install had been deactivated from another device. The app now recovers and reactivates cleanly.

Improvements

• Clearer error messages when Windows cannot pass a read command to your Canon camera. The app now explains it is a connection problem, and retries automatically, which recovers many checks that used to fail.
• Connecting a non-Canon camera over USB now explains that USB checks are Canon only, and points you to the photo check instead.

Fixes

• Memory cards, card readers, and USB sticks are no longer mistaken for a connected camera on Windows.
• On Mac, a check could freeze for 90 seconds when the camera never responded. It now recovers in a few seconds and retries on its own.
• Improved reading reliability on some Canon cameras: if the camera is not ready to report its count yet, the app now asks for a quick re-check.

Improvements

• Small refinements to the check screen.

Improvements

• Added more than 80 cameras to the database across Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Pentax and Samsung, including the Fujifilm X-HF1, so more bodies are recognized when you check a photo.
• The camera’s serial number now shows reliably for more Canon bodies read over USB.
• Cleaner, more accurate model names for some cameras.

Fixes

• The app no longer asks you to install a driver for devices that aren’t cameras, such as card readers and external drives.

Improvements

• More reliable shutter reads over USB on recent Canon DSLRs, including some EOS 5D Mark IV bodies that previously failed to return a shutter count.

What’s new

• Newer Canon mirrorless cameras (DIGIC 8 and later, such as the EOS R series) now split the shutter count into mechanical and electronic (silent) frames instead of one combined total. Your mechanical shutter count, the figure that reflects shutter wear, is the headline, with electronic frames noted separately. Flip the results card to see the breakdown. New checks only.

Improvements

• The back of the results card now scales its content to fit, so everything stays clear and fully visible in every language.

Fixes

• Saved results now show their firmware when you revisit them.

Improvements

• More Canon EOS bodies now read reliably over USB, including some EOS 80D cameras that previously failed to return a shutter count.
• Better behind-the-scenes diagnostics for the few Canon cameras that are still hard to read, so more of them can be supported in future updates.

Improvements

• Improved shutter-count accuracy when reading several Canon DSLRs over USB. A number of DIGIC 6 and DIGIC 7 era bodies now read more reliably, and some that previously failed to read now return a count.

Improvements

• Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish now appear on the welcome screen’s language picker, not just in Settings.
• Replaying the welcome tour now opens in the language you are currently using.
• Traditional Chinese is now detected correctly for more regions.

New

• Initial support for four new languages: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian Bokmål and Finnish. The app is now available in 28 languages. Select your language in Settings.

Improvements

• More reliable USB shutter count readings for the Canon EOS 5DS R, including bodies that previously could not be read.

New

• Four new languages: Czech, Greek, Hungarian and Hebrew. The app is now available in 24 languages.
• Full right-to-left layout for Hebrew, with the charts, numbers and result card all correctly mirrored, joining the Arabic support added last release.

Improvements

• More reliable USB shutter count readings on newer Canon cameras, which could occasionally report busy partway through a check and cause it to fail.
• Small right-to-left layout fixes in the Gear screens.

New

• Three new languages: Arabic, Ukrainian and Dutch. The app is now available in 19 languages.
• Full right-to-left layout for Arabic, with charts, numbers, data values and the result card all correctly mirrored.

Improvements

• More accurate and reliable USB shutter count readings for the Canon EOS 80D, 77D, 800D, 200D, 750D and 760D, including bodies that previously could not be read.
• More accurate USB shutter count readings for the Canon EOS 5DS, 5DS R and 5D Mark IV.

Fixes

• Checking a Canon EOS 6D Mark II over USB could show a shutter count far higher than the camera’s real count (or, in some cases, slightly lower).

Fixes

• The Canon EOS RP can now be checked over USB. The RP reports its shutter counter in a format the app previously rejected as unreadable, so every check ended in an error. The count is shown with the “up to” (≤) treatment because this camera reports in 1,000-shot steps.

Improvements

• More reliable Canon EOS shutter-count checks over USB. Cameras that are still busy with their memory card right after you plug them in are now handled correctly on more connection paths, and some Canon firmware revisions that report the count in a slightly different format are now read correctly.
• If the app cannot recognise your Canon camera’s counter yet, it now asks you to take a photo, run the check again, and repeat that a few times. The way the count changes across those attempts helps us add support for that camera in a future update.

Fixes

• Several USB error messages now show the correct explanation when a check cannot complete.

Improvements

• Improved the reliability of shutter-count readings on certain Canon EOS cameras when checking over USB.

Fixes

• Canon cameras that are still busy reading their memory card right after you connect them, such as the EOS R6, no longer fail the USB shutter-count check. The app now waits for the camera to settle and reads the count reliably.
• Windows: your Canon camera’s serial number is now read correctly over USB.

What’s new

• Canon EOS R100 and many other recent EOS bodies (DIGIC 8 and newer) can now be read over USB. Plug the camera in and the app reads its shutter count directly. These newer bodies report their count in 1,000-shot steps, so the app shows it as an upper bound, for example “≤ 44,000”, and explains on the card that your true count is at most the number shown.

Improvements

• Preview checks now default to revealing the back of the result card.

Fixes

• Canon EOS R-series cameras now show “Canon” as the maker, not “Canon.Inc”.
• Windows: the app no longer offers to install a USB driver when a check fails for another reason.

Improvements

• Groundwork to expand Canon EOS support.

What’s new

• USB shutter-count checks now support more Canon EOS bodies.
• New “Active Window” setting under Settings → Gear: choose how many months a body or lens can go unused before the Gear page marks it Retired. Default 24 months, or set it to 0 to never auto-retire.

What’s new

• New “Mask Serial Numbers” toggle under Settings → Privacy (off by default). Hides your camera’s serial number wherever it appears in the app, so screenshots you share don’t reveal your camera’s unique identity. Only the first couple of characters stay visible.

Fixes

• Result cards now show each camera maker’s official brand colour in every theme.

What’s new

• Major translation quality pass: every non-English language has been rewritten for native fluency, replacing stiff machine-translated phrasing with wording a native speaker would actually use. Covers German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).

What’s new

• New “Help Us Improve The App” toggle under Settings → Privacy lets you opt out of anonymous usage stats
• Cleaner macOS installer DMG with properly aligned app and Applications icons

Fixes

• Release notes in the in-app updater now render as formatted Markdown instead of raw text

Fixes

• Replaying the welcome tour no longer overwrites an attached paid licence with a preview when an activation magic link arrives mid-tour

Highlights

• Initial release
