Can ML read the camjera serial number?

[channel6dk]

Is there any way to get LM to read the Camera manufacturers serial number (EOS 5D Mk II) or is there any other utility that can access this data? I have one 5D body which lost its bottom number sticker many moons ago.

ML does not provide a menu item where cam's serial number is displayed.

Because Canon stores cam serial number in picture file's metadata section this (and other) info is readable from file by several tools. Basic method uses command line tool EXIFTOOL.

Code Select Expand

C:\WorkDir\Exiftool>exiftool -SerialNumber img_9973.cr2
Serial Number                   : 024081203377

Most photo editing programs and several viewers are able to extract metadata as well.
