G9 porting progress

gendarmee

Super amazing job ewavr!
Thanks a million!
I was (am) one of the users who installed the 1.00i after reading that it fixed something on camera.

I have some particular requets, will post soon! hope some one can help out with that.
One more doubt, can i install chdk 1.00d using card tricks and replace the files with ewavr's zip files. in that case would chdk work?

Very good work, I just updated to firmware i and it works for me!

Hey, I noticed there's a PS.fi2 file included. So I tried loading CHDK via firmware updated and that worked too (am I the first to notice?)! So glad I can use my SDHC card with CHDK now.

Thank you soooo much!

Oh, for those asking about ISO override, other versions have the same issue (or, at least d).

raw update:

Anyone tried any other raw tools?

I tried XNview is a multilenguage freeware application wich opens almost anything... and is compatible with photoshop plugins. It browses, opens an edit both, CHDK RAW and DNG files. It also is very very fast and low PC resources comsuption for most common batch processing. Is really powerful and best of all free!! Anyway, you may donate anything to the author... 😛

Anyway, RAW and DNG files are not 100% editables in the way of Adobe ligthroom, Photoshop cs or ACSEe.. but is ok for most works.

You can find it here: http://www.xnview.com

Also the last ACDSEE 2,5 opens and lets to modify a lot of the parameters of both RAW and DNG files..but this one is shareware

Hello,

RAW works for me with CHDK. I used Digikam and Rawstudio on Linux and they both read the raw files just fine.

In build #707 G9 1.00I added to "official" version (no changes since last test version).
How about ND filter override, it's working in #707 (for all G9 versions)?

hi there,
I've tried on a G9 with firmware 1.00h and an 8gb SD card the chdk 0.9.5 from ewavr
http://www.zshare.net/download/550502312b140b80/
of course this don't support the dual partition but I can have the focus working great.
with the 0.9.5 with multipartition support and with the g9-100i-0.9.6-707
the focus is not working correctly. I press the shut botton to have the focus and it seems to find the correct focus but at the end it is totally blurred.
So now I guess it is a problem of the chdk on an sd card with multipartition because I can have the same issue on a G9 with 1.00F firmware with the old g9-100f-0.9.1-670-full.
Please can anybody tell me if there is a way to fix this issue?
If you need me to do some test to help you please just ask.

In any case I want to say your work in porting chdk on the new g9 firmware is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ewavr,

with ND filter in: displayed photo is underexposed but reports same exposure settings as with no nd override. If shutter half pressed in this mode then released chdk crashes.

with ND filter out: no visible difference is seen. expose same as no ND override, picture appears correctly exposed (possibly working as designed, need further testing in extreme conditions)

regards

ps using latest trunk full #707

This is awesome. I am running the latest build with 1.00h. I am able to use the intervalometer script (really only thing I was looking for) without any problems.

wait, so you can use the 1.00i chdk on a 1.00h version g9? are you sure?

ewavr

PhyrePhoX
wait, so you can use the 1.00i chdk on a 1.00h version g9? are you sure?

Hmm, I see that 1.00H and 1.00I are 99.99999% compatible:

000BBB24: 84 38
000BBB34: 05 04
000BBB5C: A7 A4
000BC3C8: 58 0C
000BC518: 04 B8
000BC519: E6 E5
000BC538: 30 2D

(here is real difference, not version/date/time strings).

PhyrePhoX

that's funny.
so i guess we can let autobuild also "build" for 1.00h then 😉

azeey

I can confirm that chdk works on 1.00h (at least as far as I know). Question is, what do those 7 lines of hex do that I would want to upgrade my firmware to 1.00i?

jvcleave

PhyrePhoX

yep - i am sure

PhyrePhoX

alright, added 1.00h to autobuild in #708.

I have now chdk running on my 1.00H and seems to be working all right. But it sure takes some time to try out all the functions.

Fantastic little application and a big hand to the developers from me.

I am trying to use the commands TurnOnBackLight and TurnOffBackLight in a LUA script on my G9-100f with build #713.
They do not seem to be recognized and provoke an error as G9 thinks they are variables. 🙁
Any experience of this around here?

reyalp

The correct function is
set_backlight(n)

where n is number, with zero meaning off and any other value meaning on. I don't know why the wiki lists TurnOnBackLight as a scripting command.

v3rtex

Thanks for the answer. I had some good results with set_backlight() but:

it requires a sleep() of almost ½ second before the call to work properly
the LCD light is switched back on after each shot, which requires calling set_backlight() afterwards

Has anyone got better results than I did?

whim

@v3rtex

the switching back on is 'normal'

from 679 release notes:

+ added two small functions... TurnOnBackLight? & TurnOffBackLight?, which turn on and off the LCD Backlight (or EVF backlight) - useful for energy saving or camouflage missions 😁
also added ubasic and lua commands: set_backlight(x), whereas 0 disables Backlight and 1 enables it. mind you, after a shot the display is turned on again (probably loop set_backlight_statement(0) in script!?).
an example script can be found here: https://chdk.setepontos.com/d/2744/9
todo: PERHAPS make it that you can disable (automatically after a given time?) LCD directly in CHDK, also on todo list: Dimming the light

thx to fudgey, ewavr & Dataghost, who made that happen \o/ (see https://chdk.kernreaktor.org/mantis/view.php?id=65 for links)

v3rtex

Yeah thanks. That's what I was afraid of. It is still a real improvement for intervalometer scripts. Switching off the LCD light avoids quickly draining out the battery.
Again, a great thank for all people working on CHDK. Implementing LUA scripts is really nice. :lol
