We report a measurement workflow free of systematic errors consisting of a reconfigurable photon-number-resolving detector, custom electronic circuitry, and faithful data-processing algorithm. We achieve unprecedentedly accurate measurement of various photon-number distributions going beyond the number of detection channels with average fidelity 0.998, where the error is contributed primarily by the sources themselves. Mean numbers of photons cover values up to 20 and faithful autocorrelation measurements range from g^(2) = 0.006 to 2. We successfully detect chaotic, classical, non-classical, non-Gaussian, and negative-Wigner-function light. Our results open new paths for optical technologies by providing full access to the photon-number information.
