Hi,

Please let me know if there is anything else you can think of, else, I am guessing this camera is bad?

Thanks!

Hello,

1. I've now set everything as you have recommended.
2. I have formatted the card (Eye Fi X2 8GB) and put on SX40HS 100i 1957-full on fresh install.
3. Trying my motion script first (earlier) and then if any issues will try the one you recommended again.
4. Here *were* the settings before changing them per your recommendations:

I have it running again, we'll see how long it stays up this time.

Please advise if I should try anything else in the meantime.

Justin.

Although this says its triggered by CHDK:
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Debugging

The "hardware defect" error *can* be trigger by CHDK. One assumes it can also be trigger by actual hardware errors. The way to distinguish is to see whether the same setup triggers the error on multiple cameras. Of course, if the error is intermittent that may not be conclusive.

Also note, if triggered by CHDK, it doesn't necessarily mean that CHDK has damaged your hardware, more likely it just confused the camera to the point where it thought the hardware was misbehaving.

Don't forget what the H stands for.

Hi,

Ok-- is anyone running chdk+motion detect script that is working (where the camera does not shut off)?

Running a test record (video) w/out CHDK for 30 min 640x480 on an 8GB SDHC card, checking stability..

Just recorded 30 minutes of video w/OUT CHDK running and it was rock solid.
Even sending it via Eye Fi X2 8GB.

So how do we debug this problem?
With either motion script that runs, the camera turns off after N minutes/hours and it leaves the lens extended.

Thoughts?

I will run some tests on my camera when I get some time.

The error log indicates the camera is crashing in one of the camera tasks not CHDK; possibly a timing problem with CHDK changing something when the camera does not expect it.
