I've just started using CHDK, and note that the amount of space left on the SD card, as well as the battery power remaining are shown on the LCD screen. In addition, there is an indication marked OPT: followed by a two-digit number. There is also a bar across the bottom of the screen that goes about halfway across. I would appreciate anyone telling me what those indications are. I suspect that the OPT: is some kind of temperature reading, but of what I don't know.

Thanks in advance,

The rest of the manual is probably worth a quick read too

waterwingz,

Thanks for your reply. I did look over the manual, but it's a bit much to absorb all at once. I don't have a pornographic memory anymore (as if I ever did).

It's not exactly the world's greatest manual but it does cover all the features available in CHDK.

Here's a few other links to stuff that might be easier to digest a bit at a time.

link> CHDK for Dummies
link> CHDK in Brief
link> CHDK User Quick Start Guide
link> CHDK Firmware Usage
link> One Page Users Guide
link> CHDK FAQ

Be warned that some of it is a bit dated so may not look exactly the same on your camera.
