Title: Shutter Release Video Control
Post by: josh377 on 22 / January / 2013, 22:18:31

Couldn't find this feature listed anywhere in the manual/FAQ --

Does CHDK allow initiation of video recording using a standard shutter release (RS60-E3)? I see that this functionality exists with the USB remote, but the camera I'm interested in(SX50) has remote support and would prefer to use that instead. I realize there is no port for SX50 just yet.

Thanks!

CHDK does not (intentionally) interact with the Canon remote at all.

This accessory is only supported on a few models (G series and SX50 that I know of) so adding any kind of support in CHDK would require development by someone who actually has the camera and the accessory.

There is one in progress http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=8932.45 (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=8932.45)
