canon 5d mark ii serial number check
My question is mainly around the difference between the two serials. I've read about the very first batch of 5D's having an LCD issue so was wondering if there are any major differences between the two ranges of serial numbers?
It appears to be a common problem on many Canon models that the serial number printed on the camera gets rubbed off or fades away. The camera must have its serial stored somewhere in the electronics of the camera. How do I get at it?
I did find that the map canon tool read some kind of GPS chip serial from the s100, which corrolated with the iSerial field. I'm specifically interested in the case of the s100, which I need for warranty claim. Can someone shed some light here?
In adition to the bottom of the camera, the serial number is located on the original Canon box. It's preceeded by "(21)" (not part of the serial number. It's also located on the warranty card included with the camera.
Did you use DPP? Canon might store the Serial number in a proprietary way that other EXIF readers cannot access. I found a cached google page from canon Europe that said that the serial number is in there.
So I just bought a camera Dec 2014 and in searching for the serial number I discovered that I have one with a 2 in the 6th spot...meaning I just bought one of the first runs of this camera. should I be as bummed as I am to have paid $3000 for something that was built 3 years ago and has been sitting around?
EOSInfo is a Windows program that lets you view important Canon cameras' important information, such as battery charge, shutter actuation, firmware update, serial number, copyright strings, and date and time.
ShutterCheck is a great application that allows Mac users to identify the camera's shutter actuation count. Like EOSInfo, it allows you to discover your Canon DSLR's other details, such as battery charge level, serial number, artist, and firmware version.
The program works even for the recent Canon models such as Canon EOS 80D or 4K cameras. Besides checking shutter actuation, Eosmsg shows the number of clicks of a mirror and shutter, whether the camera is used or new, and its overall condition.
Check the serial number to track down its manufacture date and predict your camera's service life. Also, you can find out the number of photos stored on the flashcard of your DSLR to determine the count. However, your count may be inaccurate if the flashcard is replaced or if you have ever reset the camera.
While the EOS 50D continues to use the same 1390mAh BP-511A Lithium-ion battery as its predecessor, the EOS 5D Mark II utilizes a higher capacity 1800mAh lithium-ion Battery Pack LP-E6 with new capabilities. The battery can now communicate the remaining capacity in one of six levels via the battery-check icon and in 1% increments using the Battery Info menu. The number of shutter releases since the battery was last recharged is also dis-Battery information played, and stored in the battery in case it is removed. Recharging the battery resets the shutter count. Battery recharge performance is also shown in up to three levels, giving a better indication of when it might be time to replace the battery altogether.
The unique serial number contained within each Battery Pack LP-E6 allows you to register multiple batteries within the camera and display information about those batteries, including the last time each was used and its most recent level of charge at that time. More importantly, it can help you select a replacement battery based on its charge capacity so that you don't install a nearly depleted battery at the wrong time.
Just as you would check a car for wear and tear, check the body for signs of heavy use. Check the handgrips for fading or recent replacement. The hot shoe is another area of heavy use. Cameras with very worn hot shoes are very likely to have high shutter counts. The same is true for the tripod mount on the bottom. Check the serial number to determine the manufacturing date. And of course, ask the seller! Perhaps they already had the shutter replaced and has the paperwork to verify the repair.
Information about an SD card is encoded in its internal card registries. One of these is the Card Identification (CID) Register, a 16 byte code that contains information that uniquely identifies the SD card, including the card serial number (PSN), manufacturer ID number (MID) and manufacture date (MDT). The CID register is set when the card is manufactured and cannot be changed after it is set. (According to SD card specification the information is only to be written once, however if a card does not conform to the specification this information could be changed!)
Canon Date CodesBecause they are chronological, serial numbers usually do tell the approximateage of a Canon SLR or SLR lens, but Canon Inc. has never put out any sort ofpublic information about serial numbers. However, the is another way to get the informationabout a camera body or lens. For cameras, lookinside the body's film chamber for an alphanumeric code printed in black ink onthe black surface of the film chamber. You may have to hold the camera under astrong light to see it. What you'll see is a date code, possibly something like"U1140F."The first letter tells the year the camera was manufactured: in this case,1980. It's an alphabetic code; A = 1960, B = 1961,....T = 1979, U = 1980, andso on up to Z = 1985. The next 2 numbers tell you what month the camera wasmade, in this example, November. (the leading zero for the month code issometimes omitted, so an A-1 with a code of "Y362" would have been manufacturedin March, 1984, for instance.) The following 2 numbers are an internal codethat is irrelevant for determining age, but year and month is close enoughanyway, IMO. (This internal code is also occasionally omitted based on reportsfrom Canon owners.) The last letter stands for the name of the factory. In thiscase, "F" stands for Fukushima which was the main Canon SLR factory for about20 years from the early 70s until 1991. (The factory code is rarely omitted, ifever.) So a body with the Code "U1140F" was made in November of 1980 at the Fukushima factory.Starting in 1986, the year code was restarted with "A" again, but the factorycode was placed before it. Now that Canon SLRs are no longer manufactured atFukushima, you're more likely to see a code starting with "O" for Oita. So, forSLRs manufactured in 1994, you might see a code starting with "OI" followed bythe month code. Letter Year A 1986, 1960 B 1987, 1961 C 1988, 1962 D 1989, 1963 E 1990, 1964 F 1991, 1965 G 1992, 1966 H 1993, 1967 I 1994, 1968 J 1995, 1969 K 1996, 1970 L 1997, 1971 M 1998, 1972 N 1999, 1973 O 2000, 1974 P 2001, 1975 Q 2002, 1976 R 2003, 1977 S 2004, 1978 T 2005, 1979 U 2006, 1980 V 2007, 1981 W 2008, 1982 X 2009, 1983 Y 2010, 1984 Z 2011, 1985 The same type of code is printed on the back of many (but not all) EF lenses aswell, typically in small white characters on a black baffle in the rear lensmount. Normally it will read somethings like "UT0308". The "U" is the factory, the "T" is theyear of manufacture (2005), the "03" is the month (March) and the final two numbers seem to besome sort of internal Canon code. Priorto 1986 the lens date codes did not include the factory letter. Copyright Bob Atkins All Rights Reservedwww.bobatkins.com
AF Micro Adjustments are supported either as one global adjustment or for up to 40 registered lenses, though you cannot register multiple lenses of the same type, and lens and teleconverter combinations. The limitation on lenses of the same type is strange to me, given that the camera requires a serial number (often read from the lens or otherwise user supplied) when it stores the lens. From a programming standpoint, a hash of the lens name and serial number should be sufficient to allow multiple lenses of the same type to be registered. 2ff7e9595c
