Canon M200

[BillyBean]

I'd like to use my little mirrorless EOS M200 and although it connects and everything seems to be working, nothing gets downloaded.

My EOS 80 works fine.

Anyone had success with the EOS M200?

** OK SORTED **

In the FN II:Others

Enable "Release shutterw/o  lens" 

Thanks for your answers.

The M200 has been supported for a couple of years. What are trying to download? From the Imaging screen from the Frame & Focus screen? What version of BYE are you using?

Also, you did not say whether you are trying to use the M200 on the same PC as the 80D, but in case they are different, one common issue when downloading of images fails is that the image file is being blocked by the antivirus software. Try disabling it and if that allows you to see the downloaded images, then you need to whitelist BYE in your A/V software.

Oh, so your issue was not a "download issue" because the M200 did not even start the exposure because there was no lens attached.

Thanks for letting us know.

Yes a typical beginners error., apologies.

Thank You!

I’ve been using BYN with my Nikons, but I just purchased a used M200 for Solar, Planet, and Solar System AP. I bought BYE and tried it last night, with my M200 attached to my 150 mm f/5 Newtonian. Live View worked, but I could not get the M200 to take pictures via BYE. I was concerned that my used camera had a fatal issue.

I checked this forum to see if anyone else had this problem - and found this thread. The ‘Enable Shutter without Lens’ setting did the trick! It now works with BYE. I doubt I would have found that setting on my own.

So, again, thank you!
