Eos 400d ( Rebel XTI )

You must switch DP button to Interval. Then you can shoot with DP button.

ok I did it, just nother info: 2 is for? 1/2 second? Because I noted a very fast interval between shots.

First of all let thank you all for contributing towards adding so many wonderful features to the 400D.

Because we are seeing very fast development, I have two suggestions:

1) Document all the added features in detailed & in an incremented way. So that the latest autoexec.bin released has a complete manual/guide available.

2) Start making the custom firmware as feature rich as possible by floating versions of autoexec.bin which have been compiled from versions made by others (keeping the stable features & removing the buggy ones).

It's just a thought but would help the 400D custom firmware to become really robust as well as helping all the 400D users to get the maximum out of their cameras.

Thanks 😀

OK guys I am going to try to hit one out of the park!

I call it the Triple Wave!!!
Wave your hand three times over the IR sensor at the viewer and the shutter is released touch free.
You could still handle the camera and leave the feature on.
Can any body do it quick?
I would love to see it done well!
I think its so Great we could patent it and make a little.
I bet someone could program it so any timing of three in the viewer sensor would turn the camera on as well as trigger shutter release.

What do you think?

JoeNeptune

Just having one hit on the IR sensor of the 400D trigger shutter would be a good start if some one was interested?
Instant light trigger!

By the way Ronald Brideau my name.
JoeNeptune is a just a user name.
Thanks for having an interesting forum.

Nice idea, I'll try it on the 550D.

AEB in M mode - where you can set fastest and longest time - e.g. 1/4000 and 30 - and it will automatically make all variants between this two times (including).

Invocation is same as for previous builds, settings are in EAEB submenu, in other mode than M it uses previous EAEB code variant.

Thanks Vatoz, just a question: what do you mean with "interval"? 2,5 are seconds? Are thay 1/2, 1/5 sec? Because the interval between shots is very short so I'm wondering that are fractions onstead of seconds.
Thanks for your job.

Interval is 1EV. I will add some stabilisation time (and settings)...

Hi guys (and gals, perhaps?). As "shubhankar.paul85" pointed out, I think we should start thinking about standardizing this project:

Although the codebase is pretty small, and is still in a experimental stage, there are already two developers on the playground (and I plan to jump on the wagon myself, as soon as possible); and "too many cooks spoil the both", they say.
Stable releases should be separated from experimental code.
File-sharing sites do not look like a good place to store the code or the binaries.

So, the fist step I propose is the creation of a source repository, and the nomination of a maintainer / release manager; your thoughts?.

vatoz

Well, the most obvoius place might be http://code.google.com/p/400d/ or maybe github, maybe thaibv or sergei already have some sort of CVS - otherwise it would be possible to make it from scratch and import existing archives as commits (and i can do it).

I am not skilled as release manager, and my english is far from perfection, but I can try it.

Anybody compiling this on a 64bit machine? I managed to create a build environment, but compilation always fails with a "relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_PC24 against symbol..." error; I tried the "-mlong-calls" flag, as suggested somewhere else, to no avail. Other people with 64bit machines seems to have the same problem.

same here, i've tried different tricks with no success...
keep us posted if you succeed 😉

i asked that question long time ago... but it seems there is no repository for the code...
and now after reading some stuff about sony's DMCA i think gitorious.com is better choice...
here are some quotes from psx-screne forums:
-- --------
In response to Sony's DMCA takedown notices against PS3 hacker github pages, drizztbsd has mirrored the removed pages.
Click HERE to view the mirrors at Gitorious.
----------
FYI, Gitorious is in Norway. Norway is not in the EU so the EUCD doesn't apply. Any know about the state of copyright circumvention law in Norway?

simply the best!

And now, who is able to ad the "Mirror lock-up" during eAEB?

I first tried to create 32bit versions of binutils / gcc, but failed... decided to take another path and installed a 32bit Linux inside a virtual machine (QEMU); now I have to create the build environment there.

i think the problem is not in the bitness of host compiler, i've asked sergei and he sent me a windows and linux toolchains, but the linux one is missing some libs and is not able to compile. i havent tried the windows one, but i believe sergei is compiling on windows...

please share your experience when you compile it in the qemu...

That repo seems dead (no updates since Sep 2009!); perhaps the creator is among us and will respond to this post... otherwise I will email him in a couple of days. Then we can create another repo, at Google Code, or somewhere else.

Importing the existing releases as commits will be the first (and easy) task, obviously (provided we can find them, some of the links in this thread are no longer working).

I not a native English speaker, either. Part of my daily job involves being an "internal" release manage; but I would like to be able to (at least) compile the source code, before I even consider myself for the position....

No, the bitness of the host compiler should not be the problem, apparently; but the fact is that people with 64bit machines seem to come all to the same error during compilation. Perhaps it is an obscure error in GCC, only triggered on 64bit versions; or perhaps the moon was not on the correct phase when I tried. The thing is I got out of (reasonable) ideas to try, so this 32bit virtual machine is the next (unreasonable) one on the list.

Yes, of course; expect a full guide.

Could you limit the focus from going all the way to infinity.
Then allow the auto focus to be a motion detector when it finds something close that is in focus?

however, extended AEB doesn't seem to work for me. All the frames are taken with the same setting(no change in exposure setting, same shutter speed). I tried 3 frames, 5 frames with 1EV and the results were the same. AEB(not extended AEB) was turned off and I shoot extended AEB using the DP button(also tried pressing timer button then DP button).

Is there any setting I need to change before using the extended AEB function?

Have you tried to clear all camera custom functions and settings, delete settigs file from CF card?

I have no experience in CVS or anything like that, so it will be not much help from me.

I use 32bit Ubuntu and 32bit Windows XP.
