Canon EOS M50 shutter count — FAQ

Why doesn’t EOS Digital Info support the M50?
The developer has stated the EOS M series isn’t supported by the tool’s SDK builds. The camera is simply too new/different for it.

Is the photo method accurate?
It reads the actual counter from the file — accurate as of when the photo was taken. For the mechanical-only figure you’d need Canon service.

Does editing the photo break it?
Yes — re-saving from Lightroom/Photoshop usually strips the data. Always use a straight-from-camera file.
