What about finding the shutter actuation count on it...even possible?

No Sigma cameras can show the shutter actuation count, sorry to say.

Instead, they show an image count per DCIM which will only equal the shutter count if:

a) the camera has never been reset to factory defaults.

b) the image count has never been selected to auto-reset to '0001' when an empty card is put into the camera.

And, as far as I can tell, you would also need to look at the current DCIM folder name, e.g.

'Sigma104' with SDIM0500 as the last file means (4x9,999)+500 images recorded.

Usually I quote the current image 4-digit number with the caveat that it may not be the shutter count.
