Wrap-around menus implemented; please, use a nightly build greater than r707 to test it.

scrax

testing right now and it works good so far. Thank you!
This addition makes also more useful the sortable shortcut menu,
now waiting the same for the value entries 😀

Hello guys!
I have used chdk for long time but a very early version.

Now I have found a very very much capabilites added but I don't manage to understand and use all of them.
Please tell me where I found CHDK instructions for Canon 400D DSLR(not for Powershot's).

Thanks in advance!

Strictly speaking, there is no CHDK for 400D; we have something equivalent, but it is only related to CHDK in their origins. Our project is called 400plus, and there is an official site at http://code.google.com/p/400plus/ where you can find the most recent versions and usage instructions. Hope this helps.

Thank you very very much, this is what I've searched for.

Now I don't see about autoISO. Is that option removed from 400plus? Why?

AutoISO was deactivated long time ago, because it was too slow and ineffective; perhaps, someday we will guess out how to make it work properly...

Alex had ported the AFP to ML, he made nice PNG too, which could be used in our Wiki...

i'll start to work on VRAM buffers slowly, so eventually we will get free screen drawing and nice help on the camera, with BMP images, just like in ML... very cool feature 😉

btw, does anyone have broken 400d, but still powering up, just broken sensor or display or anything else which makes it garbage, but still powering up ? i want to make some hardware experiments, but do not want to brick my camera...

Hi was looking too for a not working 400d camera but I only found one with the main board brokenand so it's noot booting up

Oh hai.

I've been using various versions of CHDK on my 400d with success, although the lastest variants do not do ISO 3200 they do 3000.

So I am using the 7-19-11 release which seems to be a good all-around release, but if I could have a 7-19 that did ISO 16, 32, 50 etc. that would be perfect. Right now I just swap between the original Sep. 13th 2009 release and the 7-19 depending on what I need it to do. The original was great, but no in-camera color temp function

Good work guys, this thing feels like a whole new camera now

Please, notice that you have downloaded a "NightlyBuild", that contains work-in-progress code; good for testing purposes, but not for general usage. That said, we have recently discovered that ISO-3200 has never worked: the camera displayed 3200, but internally it was 3000; thus it has been removed and will not be available on the next release.

Lower ISOs are software-based, and thus useless; all it produced was clipped highlights.

I tested the 400plus-20110730-r718.zip version of the hack, it is true she stop at 3000 iso, but as said Eduperez was the case before same if the display shows 3200, so no regret.

As against the 400plus-20110730-r718.zip version has more levels iso.

For the cons I do not like the green colors of the display, I prefer the red and gray theme closest to the current canon.

they should be reverted, it is a leftover from my tests ... as it seems we cannot use colors we like, only predefined colors.... this green colors was predefined for some dialog, but i do not know which one ...

scrax

They are red and gray again in the NightlyBuild, for who interested

TomBStonE

Exact , they are red and gray again in the NightlyBuild ! cool :p

when I long press the right button ( AF ), iso go to 1600, it's normal ?

infamous: what operating system and card size are you using? You may also try with Magic Lantern tools: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/550d_install#Step_2._Making_the_SD_card_bootable

For developers: calling 0xFFFF4020 write_bootflags_to_card(0) from a FIR (before initializing the operating system!) should make the card bootable ( http://bit.ly/oXXKfB )

i have win7 and my card is a sandisk ultra II 2GB

Magic lantern is for 550 d. i have a 400d

Bootflags are the same for all dSLR cameras; the ones for CHDK (compact cameras) may be different.
