Yes, it's very nice to have chdk for the
sd780, although check your raw files, I'm still getting the line pattern as posted previously. I look forward to the stable Beta that HarpoMa is working on. I have three other Canon p&s cameras with varying stages of chdk on, and am happy there is so much effort going into this one. I think it's a great little ( emphasis on little) camera to have all those extra features.

Hi.
I am new here and casually using the chdk_sd780_prealpha_v3 since October 2009 for DNGs with my girls cam; but mostly with manual firmware update - WAF as Benoe said.
New ixus100_sd780-100c-0.9.9-880-full_BETA doesnt write DNGs at all.
ixus100_sd780-100c-0.9.9-878-full_BETA and ixus100_sd780-100c-0.9.9-879-full_BETA did the same sixties wallpaper DNGs danstr describedand ignasx showed.

On post #384, Jason said he would post here when Raw is fixed. I am assuming that stuff like this is not easy, having gotten not much further than "Hello World" in my many attempts to learn programming. I am waiting patiently 😉 for the capabilities to be extended for this camera, having owned it now for about a year. In the meantime I have an SX200 with the same resolution, also chdk enhanced, it's just a little bulky to haul around in a pocket all the time.

@danstr - Thx. I will release a binary this weekend just for you. 😀 How do you like the sx200? I think I will get a SX210 once they come out.

@HarpoMa
Thanks, Jason, 🧑🎄
I like the SX200, I was looking at the SX210, but liked the features and reviews of the 200. It's got a great zoom. The pictures are very nice, the only thing is some barrel distortion is very noticeable at wide angle, can be corrected in Photoshop, just have to be careful composing shots due to having to crop after. I was combining features while away at a seismic camp this winter. In March it got warmer, and there was snow melting off the trailer roof, so I cranked the shutter speed up, as well as upping the flash, put the camera on a tripod with intervalometer set for 5 to 7 second intervals, focused on water drops hitting the ground, and left it for a while. Usually averaged 1 in 3 or four shots of fairly nice droplet splashes, with autofocus got some nice, clear shots. Usually got about 300 or so shots before the batteries died. It's all fun 😎Dan

No canon fw upgrade exists ATM. I am working on trying to get a 1.00b blind port but i don't have a great firmware dump. 🙁 If you can provide a fw dump of the 1.00b then I can likely get you a port.

Hi all
Seem to have made a 4gb card work on my Mac and got the Canon 100is to shoot a few raw/dng pics. 😀
What can I do with the dng files in OS X, Win or Linux?
Will they display/convert or is it still in progress?
Can I make a real 5 pic HDR yet?
Sorry for the questions if all this is still very much in beta.
Thanks very much for all the hard work. 😀

Patch for fixing RAW/DNG (with correct colour profile noless), addition of a palette (sadly
SD780 is also different) and a fix of the UP button spitting messages to screen. This also cleans up camera.h
SD780 section considerably.
HarpoMa
@Hux
The build you are using has a bug in RAW/DNG so you can't use them atm. The patch I've uploaded has the fix but it could be a few days before it's entered into the autobuild. (a guess as it depends on the schedule of people who can enter in such changes)
Once the fix is in you can use the DNG native on the mac (at least in 10.6 you can) They are simply higher detail versions that become the eventual JPG (if anyone wants to correct my layman answer please do)
"Can I make a real 5 pic HDR yet?" Sadly I don't know much about this question.

First: Hello & welcome 😀
If braketing in continuous mode is working on the
SD780, you can easily do it like described here:
-->
Scriptless Tv bracketing (also:
https://chdk.setepontos.com/d/2972/149)
To build the HDR images you need a appropriate software, you'll find some links here:
-->
CHDK wikia: Software - Stacking & HDR
The new #881 Autobuild download package should be available from the Autobuild Server in ~ 20 minutes...

Awesome, Jason 😁 It's great to have raw again. And on my Macbook, they open right up in PS4, no intermediary programs needed. Greatly appreciated!
I do notice that script parameter values are not saved, ie: ultra_intervalometer on my other cameras switching to parameter set 1 from 0 will save my settings in 0, on this camera that doesn't happen, not a great big deal, just have to set those values each time before using. I use that script with a setting of one for single shots, so just changed the default value in the script. And I know... they're called Beta for a reason. I am very happy to have so much more to do with this camera! Great job!
Thank you, Jason,
Dan
HarpoMa
I doubt script parameter values are specific to the
sd780. Are you certain there is not a "clear settings" on boot option turned on? If you know different then mail me a copy of the script and I'll test with it.
Harpo

The thing is, it occurs inside the script, without leaving the parameter menu, so clearing override values(which is not set) shouldn't affect it, the camera has not been shut off.
This is the script:
rem Author - Keoeeit
rem Written for S-Series
rem Should be okay on others
rem Use Endless mode with caution
rem See documentation for important info
rem first version
@title Ultra Intervalometer
@param a Delay 1st Shot (Mins)
@default a 0
@param b Delay 1st Shot (Secs)
@default b 0
@param c Number of Shots
@default c 5
@param d Interval (Minutes)
@default d 0
@param e Interval (Seconds)
@default e 0
@param f Interval (10th Seconds)
@default f 5
@param g Endless? No=0 Yes=1
@default g 0
p=a*60000+b*1000
t=d*60000+e*1000+f*100
if c<1 then let c=5
if t<100 then let t=100
if g<0 then let g=0
if g>1 then let g=1
if p<0 then let p=0
z=t*c
y=p+z
print "1 Cycle Time:", y/60000; "min", y%60000/1000; "sec"
goto "interval"
:interval
if p>0 then gosub "pause"
print "Shot 1 of", c
shoot
if c=1 then end
for n=2 to c
sleep t
print "Shot", n, "of", c
shoot
next n
if g=1 then goto "interval" else end
:pause
n=(a*60)+b
for m=1 to n
q=n-m
print "Intvl Begins:", q/60; "min", q%60; "sec"
sleep 930
next m
return
What happens is that when I load script from file, I get the normal menu, split into two part, the bottom part having the parameters to be set, the top part having the line with:
parameters set (0), and if you set your values in the bottom part, and then switch to parameters set (1), and switch back, the values I picked in set(0) should still be saved, but they revert to defaults.
It works on my other cameras, but not on this one.
Just noted something else, while I was checking the script thing, if in auto mode, I hold down the power switch for a bit while chdk is active, my settings change on screen from auto to macro symbol. I don't know if that is a normal function, and I just never saw it before.
Sorry if this stuff sounds picky, I am really happy with what there is right now, just trying to help with any testing.

Dan

Hi,
short question: does this CHDK for 100IX support continuous mode?
The standard menu does not offer a continuous mode and as far as I understood, this is a prerequ for the CHDK continuous mode.
(I would like to take a picture every x seconds, auto mode, no change in the settings like Tv, Av, ISO....)
Best regards,
Rainer

Hello & welcome, husel !

short question: does this CHDK for 100IX support continuous mode?
The standard menu does not offer a continuous mode and as far as I understood, this is a prerequ for the CHDK continuous mode.
Continuous mode is a Canon camera mode available on all Powershots (also on the Ixus series), available in M mode.
(I would like to take a picture every x seconds, auto mode, no change in the settings like Tv, Av, ISO....)
For this an intervalometer script can be used, e.g.
this or
this one, also a script like
this.
A CHDK script runs in any camera mode, also in Auto mode...
ignasx
I've tried the
882 version, and as always I accidentally loaded it from
AUTO mode, please do something about it!!!
So after restarting my camera in
P mode:
I noticed that: when
AWB is balancing, then preview lags a little bit, so some part of code needs some cleaning...
BASIC script with
Focus control still crashes and turns off... (This script:
http://armanbohn.com/blog/?p=93)
Motion Detection WORKS!!! Hooray!!!
The
Unidentified image bug I mentioned before still exist, but it only shows up in
640 and
320 mode.
RAW is working (even shows up in
Photo Shop), I'm not sure, but it looks like
Bad pixel removal doesn't work, tomorrow I will try to make a new
badpixel.bin
Regards, Ignas
HarpoMa
@ignasx - No idea what you are talking about in your first comment. You are welcome to fix the issue if you are in such a dire need for it. Second comment you need more clarity. "AWB is balancing..." I don't know specifically what you are refering to. RAW/DNG does take a bit to write an image is that what you are talking about?
BASIC script - I'll look at that.
Unidentified image - I'll see what I can see now that I know it's only under certain modes.
Bad pixel - one day I will test it.

@danstr - no problems I'm happy to fix stuff I certainly don't use much of the functions of chdk so I don't know what all is broke all the time. I will address this issue when I manage to find why it's an issue. LOL
danstr
@HarpoMa
Thanks Jason, really it's only an issue in that different preferences can't be saved as a set of preferences. The script's default settings can be changed when saving the script on the computer, it just means saving a separate script for each set of differing parameters, instead of being able to save different parameter sets within the script as is usually the case. To be honest, I haven't tried the latest build on my other cameras, it may be chdk related, not
sd780 related. Build 881 on my
sd890 saves the parameters. I'll let you know what I find.
(edit) The script parameters
are saved on my
sd890 with build 882, but not on the
sd780, I even tried the script by placing it in the main script folder thinking that might make some difference, I'm not sure why I thought that.
The
sd780 does work with multipartition on an 8GB card, in regards to needing verifying on your first post. Except for the issue I mentioned, basic scripts work, and I notice I no longer need to remove the bit in Lua scripts that I had to before, the part that checks for recording, badpixel.lua worked "right out of the package".
I also notice that the numbers do not show anymore when scrolling up in the menus as well.
Nice job! 😁

Hi all - 1st post on the forums but been lurking for a while now. Just wanted to say that as a complete newbie, I've successfully loaded the beta and it works great.
Still getting to grips with all the functions, but already just having the shutter speed override is amazing.
HarpoMa et al.... legends, the lot of you!!! Thank you!
