350d boot from cf card

[eyeland]

Thanks for all the great work guys!
Decided to give the hack a shot as I am buying a new 60D one of these days anyways.

A few things:
Would it be possible to create a memory for settings and perhaps to reassign some of the modes on the "mode-dial" to these? (Similar to the function found on more expensive DSLR) This is the ONE hack that I would DEFINATELY Donate for

Also, it would be great with an updated list of versions and the differences between them

Great work on that piece of software! Using it on a frequent basis and the features are always useful. Never had any problems with it at all. Great!

I have a few questions/suggestions about possible features:

1) First of all: wouldn't it be more convenient to have a dedicated forum for the 350d-Version (and the other dslr-Versions) of chdk instead of just this one thread which contains every question and problem and release and bug and whatnot? From what I read it is a completely different piece of software than the p&s-CHDK or other Canon-DSLR-models. I think it would be way clearer to discuss and develop and find help with problems, wouldn't it?

2) Is it possible to extend the amount of pictures taken with the AEB feature? So not to take only 3 (under, over, normal), but maybe five or more pictures?

3) A basic, yet important question: Is it possible for CHDK to actually CHANGE functions originally changeable in the menu, etc? Like in M/anual mode, using CHDK to change the exposure time, aperture size, white balance, etc.? If this is possible, the user could create different custom presets like on newer/more expensive cameras (maybe in form of a text file on the memory card) and load them using the chdk menu, thus eliminating the need to manually adjust different, often used settings.

Thanks in advance for the answers and keep up the good work! If I could help with anything, I'd be glad to do so (I have no coding experience with the firmware, but I'm willing to learn and have basic experience with programming)

I searched for "intervalometer" and "canon 350D" to see what it would take to get my older camera to do this and found this forum. WOW!!

Thank you all for the effort you put into this. It took me about an hour or so to weed through all the threads (yes an organized Wiki would be better, but beggars can't be choosers). In the end, I am safely booting to my CF card and was able to create a time lapse film for a home documentary I'm doing.

Very cool, cost nothing... crazyklaus, peabody, MilanC, maiohwmai, and the rest of you contributors rock!
