New Guide available at http://drop.io/chdk_new_UserGuide_booklet_pdf (http://drop.io/chdk_new_UserGuide_booklet_pdf), there's also a ReadMe, and a pic.
This post is double posted (sorry) for wider availability.

sticky (temporary).
thanks for your work, looking good. havent read fully yet though. i noticed my name is written wrong in the guide :D
do you plan to release the "source files" as well, so people can participate?
-
(Oh noes, my name is mess-spelled, too...)
That aside, looking good.
-
Excellent work. You deserve 5 stars.
-
Wow!! What a professional looking User Guide. The "reflection" images really add to the wow factor.
I'm new to both my Canon S5 & CHDK and this user guide is simply wonderful.
Thanks to everyone that contributed to making it & of course making CHDK to begin with. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
-
To PhyrePhox and Jucifer,
A million apologies for those spelling mistakes of your names, there's a lot of proofreading to do in documents like that, but for fellow member's names to be misspelt it's a bit of a sin, so a big sorry for that,
I will wait for a few days or more for more mistakes to show up, and then make some corrections.
-
CHDK being a collaborative effort (and all), it would be nice to get every contributor/participant listed. I don't have a complete list of contributors, but here are some names, that could be added to the acknowledgements-section (mainly from the ancient collab-thread, in no particular order, hopefully spelled right):
DataGhost, reyalp, Hacki, whim, Velo, fbonomi, cyril42e, wontolla, toinech, fudgey, msl, hiker_jon, whoever, bperrybap, auj, Bg~, m2tk, fantomas, Microfunguy, Masuji SUTO, chdkj, mweerden, Yarvieh, quietschi, PlasmaHH, MrSpoon
I've haven't been following all the porting of new cams and stuff, but I bet there are a lot of names out there, that should be mentioned.
Dear reader. If you know more names that should be credited, please speak up.
Credit where it's due.
-
Awsome! Thanks for all your work an0n.
I took the liberty of posting the link in the Canon S5 users forum.
I'm sure many people will find it very useful. I remember one or two users mentioned that Albest 50 manual was way out of date!
-
Thanks, an0n !
Looks like an excellent manual !

Hi, great work.
Though I thank you for the mention in the guide, it's kind of unfair to say I am a developer (I'm not), I just made this forum available for you guys and gals.
Cheers ;)

Thanks, I'm sure everyone would say that the forum is a very important part of the development. :)

Wow, great job by everyone who put this together!

Hi,
I'm a first timer here so please be gentle......
I have an IXUS 750 with software release GM:100.H but I cant find a corresponding CHDK.
Can I use the 1.00G version that is posted or will that not work with my camera ?

Hi, au_rick,
You might get some responses here: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,1529.0.html (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,1529.0.html)
Good luck.

10th Oct 2009 Hi all i am new to CHDK got my sx200is this weekend and have just loaded CHDK and been reading this guide.
My thanks goes to all the people who have worked hard to produce such a great user manual and to those who have produced the CHDK firmware.
I sure that i am going to have hours of fun with my new toys.
Thanks again, keep up the great work

Here's the new address for the A4 and Booklet size of V1.8.8, included is the Installation Guide and a .doc file of the A4 size, (each available separately)
(no longer valid drop.io is defunct) see later posts.
Edit. deleted defunct link.

Hi An0n
Thanks again for the user guide.
If a clearer version of my USB remote circuit diagram would be of use, please let me know. I've made it a bit narrower and set the fonts to bold - probably better for a smaller image. It's available as a Visio diagram or in most graphics formats.
I'd attach it, but we don't seem to have that function enabled.
Cheers,
Paul

I'm really sorry for such a dumb question, but how do I download the New User Guide?
I keep getting a drop io password screen, and my password doesn't work.
I must be doing something really stupid.
Thanks

@omeomi
Try this link (goto it on the Wiki) http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101016033120/chdk/images/3/33/CHDK_UserGuide_April_2009_A4.pdf (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101016033120/chdk/images/3/33/CHDK_UserGuide_April_2009_A4.pdf)
The file name suggests it's old, but I just checked the DL, it is from Oct 2010 alright.
All links on drop.io are bound to disappear by 15 Dec, by the way ...
hth,
wim
edit: goto -> got: LOL, some typo's can really change the meaning of what you're trying to say ...
-
Got it :)
Thanks whim.

I'm hosting another mirror to the user guide in the event something goes awry with the other link.
If I'm committing any sort of infraction by hosting it please PM me and I'll take it down.

Did you think about changing the date used in the name ? 2009 sounds kind of out-of-date ?

Would you allow me to do it for you then ?

Yes, certainly, if you have access. I would say for new name - 'CHDK User Quick Start Guide'

There is probably a better way to do this but I ended up creating a new page and pointing the old one at it : CHDK User Quick Start Guide (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/File:CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf)

@fe50 : I've made a bit of a mess but I hope you might be able to clean it up without too much work.
Here's what I think we need :
1) Delete these two pages http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf) & http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide)
2) Redirect this page : http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/File:CHDK_UserGuide_April_2009_A4.pdf (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/File:CHDK_UserGuide_April_2009_A4.pdf) to this page http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/File:CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/File:CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf)
Please accept my apology for any confusion this has caused.

Sorry, can't dot his since i'm only member of the "Users" group on wikia.com: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights)
We have 2 "Administrator" users, GrAnd & Divalent, both not active anymore/the last months - maybe the wikia stuff users (http://chdk.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=staff) could help...
ATM the only way is to work with redirects & set {{delete}} tags :(

Okay - thanks. Cleaned up the mess with redirects. I guess bypassing zombie pages that way is good enough.
I see that GrAnd is still around occassionally. Maybe you could PM him and volunteer to help out with admin duties ?

re: link
is it still available at that URL? error message...
thank you

Which URL ? If you mean the drop.io one in the first post then no, its not - that site went dark some time ago.
Try this : http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/File:CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/File:CHDK_User_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf)

Hi,
Happy using the program. Have two questions.
1. Cannot open drop.io link
2. How to erase all pictures?
Thanks
-
Hello & welcome...
1. Cannot open drop.io link
--> http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Manual (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Manual)
2. How to erase all pictures?
From the Canon menu, also possible from the CHDK file browser (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Manual#File_Browser (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_User_Manual#File_Browser)), e.g. by erasing the DCIM folder...

Hi everbody !

1. I have a CHDK on canon sx 100is 1.0.0.c. Can I turn off parameters on left display : FB,MEM, USB, ZB and how ?
2. Wich is latest CHDK for my Canon and where i can dowload it.
Thanks !

It's not the best topic for your questions ...
1. CHDK menu => Miscellaneous Stuff => Debug => Show Misc Values. See also http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_1.2.0_User_Manual#Show_Misc_Values (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_1.2.0_User_Manual#Show_Misc_Values)
2. stable version 1.2: http://mighty-hoernsche.de/ (http://mighty-hoernsche.de/) or developer version 1.3 http://mighty-hoernsche.de/trunk/ (http://mighty-hoernsche.de/trunk/)
CHDK version 1.3 is ready for the release. In my opinion it is the better choice.

I tried going to the new user guide and all I get is cloud storage advertisement
I do not want to install junkware or malware as I just finished battling with optimiser pro and mypcbackup

Unfortunately, there are many "user guides" for CHDK and most of them are old and obsolete. Please post the link(s) you were trying to follow and I'll see what I can do.
I do not want to install junkware or malware as I just finished battling with optimiser pro and mypcbackup
I don't blame you one bit here. I don't either.
Edit : FWIW, these links all work for me. Straight downloads from the CHDK wiki - no cloud storage or magic file downloaders needed :
