Go to "Setup" and scroll all the way down to "About" this will tell you the firmware version and the frame count.

Actually for MFDBs does it even matter?

Not so much with regard to sensor performance, but a shot count can be an indication of how much the product has been used, which can be a factor in terms of the wear and tear on other components. In addition, shot count does affect selling price, mostly for perceptive reasons. A DB with 1,000 shots on it is going to sell for less than a DB with 30,000 shots on it. In other words, a buyer will pay more for a lower shot count, regardless of the real world ramification in terms of performance or maintenance.

Thanks, I found it. My Aptus 65 has 3504 actuations at this time.
