Are these bugs in Version 1.2 for Canon A1200?

1. My camera has firmware 100a. and I have installed the matching CHDK. When I check Build Info, it shows FW Vers: 100b.

2. Miscellaneous values: Zoom Value: Set to EFL. In the display it shows the EFL between 20mm to 80mm. This should most probably be 28 to 112mm.

3. Does A1200 support Override Subj. Dist? If yes then how to make it work.

That's because some versions of CHDK work for more than one firmware version. Rather than compile seperate versions for both cameras each night, one version is made and copied under a different name. If it boots at all, its good.

If I get a minute I will look at it. But its not exactly a high priority. Sorry.

Should be fixed in revision 3350 (1.2) and 3349 (1.3).
