With CHDK I am able to shoot in .DNG and executed HDR script (edited default script to get 5 shots at different exposure)  :D.

But still I am not able to get exposure longer than 15 second and ISO override. where I am doing wrong??

Mode M (Manual)
1: Disable Override  [Off]
2: ISO [60]
3: exposure [50 sec]

Am I doing correct??

Also sup.Fine JPEG is not so fine.
 2.3 mb from default camera setting only producing 3-4 mb sup.fine from CHDK.

Version: 1.00I
Please comment !!!

Did you set the 'Value Factor' for the shutter speed and ISO overrides?
If 'Value Factor' under each setting is 'Off' the override is disabled.

omment !!!

Super fine is a waste of disk space, you will not be able to visually tell the difference from an equivalent image at the 'Fine' setting.

Do you really think Canon would have disabled the mode if it produced substantially better images?

(We only enable it because people complain if it's not there.)

thanks Phil.

My bad ... Didn't referred CHDK manual.  Well just clicked 80 sec exposure with F16 aperture  8) 8)


Somewhere I read that super fine jpeg is is only nearly lossless about 10-20% compression ratio. thats why asked because in that case it should produce 8-9 mb file.

I think I am getting lots of chromatic noise in .DNG file, Is that normal :-X

Compared to the out of camera jpeg, probably - CHDK saves RAW/DNG files before any noise reduction is done by the camera. This means you can apply as much or as little noise reduction as you want, using whatever software works best for you.

The processing done in the camera is actually very good on this model, so you may need a bit of effort to get comparable results - I find Lightroom does a decent job.

You can test that your camera is working correctly by connecting it to your PC using a standard USB cable. Plugging and unplugging the cable can simulate pressing the switch on a USB remote. 

If that works but your circuit does not then you might try using three LR03 AAA batteries to get the voltage up to 4.5V
