Is there any possibility canon EOS 250D / Rebel SL3 is going to get support from magic lantern ?
Canon Eos 250D/ SL3 is now the most popular camera around beginners level. I think this camera is quite powerful but software wise limited by Canon.
If it is possible make it support.
If this is supported previously then my apologies. Plz guide me the link. I'm very new to photography. 250D is my first dslr. And I understood many things have been limited by canon itself.
Even a shutter count check is not possible due to canon override :'(

Gphoto2 via USB and avaiiable for macOS, Unix derivates (Linux, BSD, ...).
Tornado EOS (Windows) via USB.
Supported by other utilities via USB/WiFi as well.
And there is Canon Basic Script. Runs from SD card.
I tried gphoto2, Tornado EOS and some wifi utility none seems to work with digic 8 series.
Can you give me canon basic script link?
Are you able to get any data using gphoto2? If not: Use another cable. Looks like yours is for charging only. Get a data transfer cable.

private sub Initialize()
CamInfo_Debug(1)
end sub
will create CAM_INFO.XML on your SD card, which contains at least three values on DSLR: TotalShutter (physical shutter actuations, including LV entry, etc), TotalShoot (total shots, including silent pictures) and TotalMirror (mirror actuations). Last one is missing on mirrorless, some point-and-shoot models have extra fields for other wear elements like zoom lever, etc.

Hello Im very new to this.
Do I just have to create a XML file with this code inside sd card or something else? The link you have provided me seems very hard to me :'(
Can you give me a simple way just to create the script and check the shutter count. Thats all I need
If you're doing everything exactly as described a CAM_INFO.XML will be created by your camera containing the info you want.
Sorry . I'm not understanding.
I tried EOS card app from the link. And then not understanding anything.
Is there any video tutorial available 😅

I don't understand what you are doing. You said gphoto2 doesn't work. I asked what doesn't work. You answered with something unrelated.
What is your native language? Try explaining your issue using your own language.
Gphoto2 works for like showing info
Like serial number
Storage
Version
Power remaining etc.
But shuttercounter/ shuttercount don't work.
When i hit shutter count it shows nothing camera screen just give a splash.(//)
Sorry, forgot gphoto2 cannot read shutter actuations for 250D/SL3.
Give Tornado EOS a try.
Tried brother.
Won't work
It all was fun and joy until Windows Defender declared TornadoSCF.exe to be malignant ...
We go Basic script then. Please join our Discord (https://discord.gg/uaY8akC) -> Magic Lantern Community -> questions-and-chat amd drop a line there.
Recommendation: Best with SD card (up to 2 GB). Second best: SDHC. Don't try SDXC.
