I’m selling a Canon EOS 60D body and want to find its shutter-release count. I can’t find this information in the camera menus. I also know the next file number on the card is not a reliable indicator, since file numbering can continue from another camera or card. What’s the proper way to check the shutter count on a 60D?

If you have Magic Lantern installed you can check the shutter count on your 60D. All you need to do is install Magic Lantern on your EOS, press MENU and then DISP. The shutter count will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Another way to find the shutter count on many EOS models, including the 60D, is to use ShutterCount. You can download it from the developer's page here. It is not free, but the cost is very modest ($3.99 USD or less as of December 1, 2016).
For more detailed information about the current status of ShutterCount and what cameras it currently works with, please see this answer to How to check actuation count on an EOS 80D?

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The EOS 60D does not show shutter count in the standard camera menus, and the image file number is not a reliable substitute.
Based on the community answers, common ways to check it are:
- Magic Lantern: If installed on the 60D, press MENU then DISP; the shutter count is shown at the bottom of the screen.
- Desktop utilities: Several users report success with computer tools that read camera info from the body, including ShutterCount, Camera Info, and EOS Digital Info.
So the practical answer is: you generally need either Magic Lantern on the camera or a compatible computer utility connected to the camera. The count is not normally available from Canon’s built-in menu system on the 60D.
