I always thought eidetic memory is when you remember every event of your life in the smallest detail (Doctor Reid in Criminal Minds, Sheldon in Big Bang theory), while photographic memory is that you remember something clearly for a limited amount of time, then it's "gone". But you are probably right. Still, if he had near-eidetic memory he wouldn't have forgotten about helping Kevin and Gwen fight Ssserpent. He would also not struggle with physics, as he would easily remember how to solve the equations.
