Eos 400d ( Rebel XTI )

eduperez

Although my version is still not feature-wise up to par with Sergei's version (I have still not incorporated the new menu front-end), I thought this was a good moment to make a commit, and present in public what I have done so far:

Binary at http://400plus.googlecode.com/files/400plus-20110314-0.bin.zip.

There is also a User Guide at http://code.google.com/p/400plus/wiki/UserGuide.
Hope you like.

Sergei, eduperez. Very good job.

It is time for me to register here and say a big THANK YOU!
Outstanding, what you are doing here. I use the enhancements very often and have no need to buy another DSLR at the moment 😀

Let's do a little bit of marketing: I installed and used the Sergei's version; which are the features that distinguish the Eduperez's version? Why somebody has to choice one instead of the one other?

Hey,
I have got one question regarding Sergejs hack:
Is it possible to have the camera shoot one picture per minute until the CF card is full? If yes, how can I set it up. I tried using the interval mode but frankly, I don't know how to use it.
It would be better if Sergej had a googlecode page where he placed a description of all the functions, similiar to eduperez's one. A always up to date descriptions will be really cool!

Eduperez: your work is also cool, but your hack lacks the nice menu Sergej has. With the menu it will be up to par.

Thanks again you guys, the hacks are really awesome!

@chross, @Kekk_400D:
perhaps Eduardo would explain better, but they will become one version eventually. Eduardo is still remastering the code. Soon Sergei will switch to the new codebase I believe (when it's ready) and hopefully more developers will come around.

Sergei's version has a much nicer menu rendering, while mine has some subtle modifications:

Sub-menus are slightly easier (IMHO) to navigate, and all changes are lost unless the SET button is pressed.
Scripts can be stopped (wave your hand) and chained (you can, for example, use the Wave script to start a Intervalometer script that launches the Extended AEB script every minute).
The Wave script must be explicitly (and temporarily) activated from the DP button.
The Intervalometer can run endlessly, or stop after a configured number of shots.
Two shortcuts have been added: set ISO 3200 and set Color Temperature.

The new menu front-end is the first visible improvement that I have in mind.

Thanks again, I will wait for the new unified code.

is this possible on the d400?

This script attempts is meant to shoot time-lapse videos of sunsets: starting from full daylight and ending in full night, always adapting exposure for a correct shot!

No: you can set the camera at P mode and hope it will choose a correct exposure, but the current intervalometer just fires the shutter at regular intervals, there is no exposure correction. You could increase your chances using the intervalometer plus the extended-AEB, but that is all.

this thread is the reason why I still have the 400D with me XD

I'd like to thank you for this work!

Can I help translating guides in Italian?

Question: is it possible to have something like a focus trap, that shoots whenever the AF light lights up?
People on this German forum suggested taping a contact on the lens body, which will result in the camera shooting if the trigger is pushed halfway and the camera gets an "in-focus" signal: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dslr-forum.de%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D165289%26highlight%3Dfokusfalle%26page%3D4

Also, is it possible to trigger the "aperture preview" by software? If yes, a function that triggers that button and holds it would be nice. The reason is that I have spacer rings for my 400d to use my standard lenses as macro lenses. This works quite well but I have to preselect the aperture via press and hold "aperture preview", unscrew the objective while holding the button, mount spacer rings, mount objective. It were better if the aperture preview could be locked so it gets more comfortable.

Cheers,
christian

just wanna ask something..
how do i revert back this hack .
i try to format my CF but my 400d wouldnt start if the CF is empty.
sometimes i had OOF problem when taking a photo after upgrading to the latest version of this hack..
please advise..tq..

i have spacer rings too but they relay the pins to the lens and i can change the aperture from the body.
are you sure you have to do the trick with unmounting the lens and then mount them back with the rings ?

you shouldn't have problems removing the hack... removing AUTOEXEC.BIN from the CF is enough... formating will do it too... and if you have problems with starting the camera and other OOF problems it could be problem with the camera itself ?
