Canon EOS M3 support

[ahmadyan]

Hi,

It would be very nice to add support for Canon EOS M3 mirrorless cameras. Currently it is not included in the support grid and BYE only recognizes M3 as a generic model 153

But it is unable to take picture (BYE goes into Bulb/Manual mode and sets ISO/Aparture/Shutter-speed, but it is unable to set image quality)

You can borrow my M3 if you need it.

BYE uses the Canon SDK to communicate with the camera.  For this reason, if Canon chooses not to support a camera through the SDK then BYE cannot control the camera.  This is the currently the case with the mirrorless cameras.  There is nothing that Guylain can do about it.

As Rick said I can not support any of the EOS M# models because Canon has decided to not support BULB over USB for these models; sad but true.
