SX110IS - howto start porting

zodiac757

I had on/off bug again but only in trying to turn the camera but only with play button. It came after shooting a lot of pics in continuous mode only in jpeg. I could turn the cam on only with on/off button but after erasing about 40-50 pics it works fine. Without chdk there wasn't any problems.
Also shooting raw to dng can do it but most in rec mode. It seems there aren't errors when I save the .dng files to the directory "101canon" and when the filename doesn't start with "IMG".

I've got it!

The auto-zebra bug:

AF mode: when I press shutter button halfway + MF (to lock AF as MF - (I often use this function): zebra turns on (or off)

here is the reason:

"Common to all cameras
Half Shutter + Left - Toggle Zebra on/off
Half Shutter + Up - Toggle Histogram on/off
Half Shutter + Right - Toggle OSD on/off "

CAN SOMEBODY DISABLE IT??

I dislike zebra because it kills the grid lines.

Sorry for late answer. I was on vacation.

I have checked the code and I think that we can change the shortcut for zebra toggling safely. Shortcuts are defined in core/gui.c. Now SX110 uses the same shortcuts as SX10 does. But this is obviously wrong as you had to experience. BTW, hats off for your patience in investigation of this.
I suggest to change shortcuts for SX110 to SX100-style. Following code sniplet shows the current configuration:

#elif defined(CAMERA_g7) || defined(CAMERA_sx10) || defined(CAMERA_sx1) ||defined(CAMERA_sx110is)
//Alt mode
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_RAW          KEY_ERASE
//Half press shoot button    
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_HISTO        KEY_DOWN
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_ZEBRA        KEY_LEFT
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_OSD          KEY_RIGHT
 #define SHORTCUT_DISABLE_OVERRIDES KEY_UP
//Alt mode & Manual mode  
 #define SHORTCUT_SET_INFINITY        KEY_UP
 #define SHORTCUT_SET_HYPERFOCAL      KEY_DOWN

#elif defined(CAMERA_sx100is)
//Alt mode
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_RAW          KEY_ERASE
//Half press shoot button    
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_HISTO        KEY_UP
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_ZEBRA        KEY_DOWN
 #define SHORTCUT_TOGGLE_OSD          KEY_RIGHT
 #define SHORTCUT_DISABLE_OVERRIDES KEY_LEFT
//Alt mode & Manual mode  
 #define SHORTCUT_SET_INFINITY        KEY_UP
 #define SHORTCUT_SET_HYPERFOCAL      KEY_DOWN

Changing the shortcuts to SX100-style is simply made by changing the #elif-statements (but I have still to check the SHORTCUT_DISABLE_OVERRIDES shortcut...).
The change will be permanent.

But: I will do this at some point later. I'm waiting for the new colormatrix. VIT40 told me some days ago that he is working on it. Than I will publish the final release.

@obihoernchen: could you record the shortcuts in wikia, please?

Just wanted to say thanks for everyone involved. I got CHDK loaded up on my SX110 this weekend and it is very cool. Only issue I had was the DNG's came out off color, but is this the colormatrix you says is coming?
Thanks,
CP

hi chdkj,
nice to see you again

"//Alt mode & Manual mode
#define SHORTCUT_SET_INFINITY KEY_UP
#define SHORTCUT_SET_HYPERFOCAL KEY_DOWN"

auto hyperfocal shortcut??? oh, my god! "legendary!"
very-very useful

I've one week (and 3 workday :[ ) for holiday, so I'll open my third beer for this day - now!

zodiac757

I think "half press shoot + left" must be unbinded because it's used for AF lock.
But with SX100 it's for "disable overrides". It's unwanted switchig too but with an another function - not zebra.

Sorry for repeating but english is not my mother language and I'm not sure I'm always understandable.

This is exactly that I meant. I will check it.

Yes, it is.

Hmm, color matrix for SX110 from dcraw is too bad?
{ 14134, -5576, -1527, -1991, 10719, 1273, -1158, 1929, 3581 }
CHDK currently uses this matrix:
{ 14134, -5576, -1527, -6591, 10719, 1273, -1158, 2929, 3581 }

Dear all,

got an issue with the bracketing functionality with RAW enabled. For whatever reasons, the first shot is taken, dark screen, saving, review, the second shot is taken, but then the cam just turns off. I am using the selftimer variant to take 3 shots with Tv bracketing.

anybody to reproduce that?

kind regards Florian

Unfortunately, yes, it is.
User VIT40 has done a lot of investigations and he got a better color profile. He told me some days ago that an even better profile (and color matrix) is on the way.

No, I can't.
Did a few tests with tv bracketing and raw, 3 shots, 1/3 ev +/-. Everything works as expected (means: without problems). Could you describe your configuration in more detail, please?

Maybe "Add raw-suffix" in the "Bracketing in continuous mode" is enabled ?
DryOS based cams could have problems with long filenames...Mantis #279 and forum link, also Mantis #86.

I've on/off bug again-again. Now it came after shooting raw to "\dcim\100canon" (not the same directory with jpegs). The card was cleared a few weeks ago, so the new pics (jpegs) are now only in the dir named "132canon". There wasn't problems until I shot just jpeg (just only one time when it was after massive continuous shooting). The problem comes from the desription files in "\dcim\canonmsc" because after erasing "\dcim\100canon" with the raw file everything is ok. Maybe a Chdk function that checks these directories and/or files by starting camera. This bug comes most in play mode.

I had an another type of on/off error most by trying to start the cam in rec mode. I had this with empty or missing directories witch had desription files in "\dcim\canonmsc" - because the pictures was moved to my PC manually via a card reader.

I've a 4Gb AData Class6 SDHC card.
I've tried to turn on the camera many times without CHDK and had no errors this way. So It isn't a hardware problem.

Had anybody met this bug??? Only me???

I did only a few test but option "raw suffix" in "Bracketing in continuous mode" was enabled and everything works as expected.

chdkj

Sorry, Zodiac757, but it really seems that you are the only one who encountered that problem.

zodiac757

And when I choose the option to make raws to the same folder as jpegs, after a few shot Chdk creates a new directory in "\dcim". Like by month change (I use auto create a new folder every month's start).
Is it normally? Maybe my settings does the problems. I try to diasable the auto create directory functionin Canon's menu. Who uses this? I use it since I have my Sx110.

zodiac757

Maybe the auto create folder did it? No errors since yesterday but I've tried everything to get the bug.
