I just tested the new release. Optical zoom now works in video mode, but I do lose focus after 70% or so.Also, I changed the recording mode from Bitrate to Quality and the camera kind of crashed when I tried to record video. The screen turned off immediately and the controls would not respond, except the power button, it does turn the camera off. I could turn back on again, no need to remove batteries. Nothing was recorded. I tried three times, same result every time.
In Quality mode I think camera can't record to SD fast enough. Thats why I think it crushes. If you lower the quality to 98% camera will not crush! Also if video gets busy @ 98% it will crush as well.720is chdk had some kind protection against that. If your SD isn't fast enough for recording it just stops the recording. If you're right on the edge then warning sing flashes on the screen. Also with 720is I found out the difference between different SD card speeds. Generic cards will stop at around 50%. Better cards will go up to 84%. Excellent cards can go to 98% I have one SanDisk 1GB that can do 99%.
When you fully zoom without recording, camera can zoom no problem. But when you recording and zooming then there is a problem. I think it's a bug.
@HystCould you explain what is not working, please? Auto-ISO-Shift works asexpected for me: ISO value changes automatically depending on availablelight and so on... Am I wrong?
I still couldn't record at 98%, but it *seems* to have recorded at 97%. Large files are recorded (20 secs. = 105 Mb), but I can't playback them entirely on my Linux box. Mplayer just playbacks two or three seconds and closes. Sometimes it will play a few more seconds, but never all the way through. They playback correctly on the camera.
Just checked the last copy chdkj posted here and can't reproduce the issue.
ok possible bug I have 2 partitions/dev/sda1 'fat16, 1536megabytes/dev/sda2 'fat32, around 6000megabyteschdk boots and automatically switches to the second partition when I go into menu to switch it to first, it doesn't is this default behavior??? also optical zoom doesn't work (after recording starts) with latest build right? and doesn't work regardless without chdk (zooming works before recording atleast right?thank again for hard work
