How safe is this?
What can go wrong with the camera (can it harm it somehow)?
Anyone ever had any problems?

Correct me if im wrong but i flash (change) the original firmware with this one http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1618.0;attach=1531 (a modified version of the original one) right

Thanks

Hello,
I was surprised that no-one said anything - but the reason for me using CHDK is Auto-ISO, and it was removed in the last version. So I did not put the latest version on my card.

I have been shooting for quite a while with auto-ISO (previous versions) and I absolutely love it!! There were some errors (some shots were at maximum ISO and the shutter speed was a lot shorter than needed) but I hope this has improved in the newer versions.

Somebody asked for having RAW in the Portrait / Sport modes. That would be so interesting! This is why I never use those modes today. Could somebody check if this is possible?

Without you guys I'd have bought a newer camera (with MP that I don't want) already instead of a cool Tamron 10-24 lens :-)

Hello- I just tried installing the hack per the instructions on page 26, but I seem to have bricked my camera. The one thing I did wrong is that I didn't wait 5 minutes; for some reason I thought it said 5 seconds. At this point, if I turn the camera on, I get the power light to come on, and it stays on when I turn the switch off. Taking out the battery or card make no difference, and I can't see the menu or anything, the screen is blank. I've searched (though I've not read every page of this thread yet) but not found anything. Does anyone know a solution for this?
Thanks...

Seems to me like you copied the AUTOEXEC.BIN kind of wrong. 5 Secs are really short for the testfir to work, so just copy an original Canon-Update to your cf-card and try booting again. This should present you with the "Do you want to update?"-Screen.

If this won't work, try to connect your cam via usb and run the updater tool.

After all: Don't panic, bricking the cam is really difficult ;-) (though, you really picked the best part of the process to try...)

I have tried formatting the card and installing the .fir firmware file to the card, but still nothing. I'm not sure what updater tool you're talking about. I connected the camera to the USB port, but I can't copy the .fir file to the camera that way. Thanks for the help.

Maybe it works...

I use the CHDK http://www.filefactory.com/file/b17bgh2/n/autoexec_autoiso_2010-05-04.zip, shooting in RAW mode, and I do not understand much why the Auto-ISO runs, for me, only between 100 and 200 ISO !

I have the opinion of obitus for the return of this important function on future releases and if possible, having RAW in different automatic modes (Portrait, Macro, Sport...)

Thank you very much to continue to give life to this Reflexe which date of a few years.

An update- it actually cleared itself up, I had it plugged into the usb port and left it on for a while, and when I unplugged it, it was working again. Go figure. I still want to install the hack, but if I could, I'd like to ask for a little clarification on a few of the steps:

3. empty your CF, download testfir.fir from http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,1618.0.html  and copy it into the root of your CF.
4. insert CF, and then run firmware update again using testfir.fir the screen will go blank. wait 5 minutes, turn off, take battery out and back in.
5. insert CF into card reader and perform a quick format.
6. download cardtricks 1.45 : http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,4214.0.html (first download link). Run it to self extract the archive. Run the binary extracted, choose CF drive, tick "cf boot sector" and then click "make bootable."
7. download latest autoexec.bin from the list below and copy the ONLY AUTOEXEC.BIN to CF card.
8. safely remove CF, insert it into camera.

step 3 says, "empty your CF". Does that mean format it, or delete the other files on it, or just take it out of the camera?
After step 5 you have an empty cf card, is there no need to reinstall any of the .fir files? Just the autoexec.bin file after it's been made bootable?

[canixus]

I believe that, at the origin the 400d is not bootable. The purpose of the update using testfir.fir is to make the camera bootable from the memory card.

No need to reinstall any of the .fir files after step 5, Just copy the autoexec.bin on memory card CF, your camera boot from this file to each reboot (If blue led flash, the autoexec.bin is loaded). It must be careful not format this memory card which contains the file autoexec.bin if we do not want lose the new functions of CHDK.

Correct me if I made mistakes!

hi tsuga, just a note you MUST USE A CARD READER throughout the whole process.

7. Factory Menu
8. Focus Frame pattern

excuse me sir,

If No mount any lens in 400D, it is "F00" in screen. And it can't chang the "F00" value by "AV" model at that time.

Is it impossible to add a funtion: when no lens mounted, the 400D can chang the "F00" such as a len mounted?


......

what is that I means is that:
when mounted a OLD lens which use Manual-focus only, It can not speak a Warning sound form the 400D when on foucs.
if a crack can Cheat the 400D did not distinguish whether the lens mounted or not, or mounted forever, the 400D would auto AF Confirm when use Manual-focus on foucs by old lens without a Electronic-Transfer-Ring.

......

If that a software way to Hack Canon EOS 400D to confirm focus with all lenses, permanently?

I found this line:
what does it mean" DEF ( event proc SetAfMode,0xFF81FE14)" ?
