I am very new to this and need help. I have a Canon Sx510Hs 1.01A is there anyway I can add scripts and if so how. I would like to unlock my ISO at long shutter and more things if someone would help I would really appreciate it.

You really need to do some reading and experimenting and then come back here and ask questions about things you still don't understand.

Here's a good start on that :

link> CHDK User Manual
link> CHDK for Dummies
link> Forum Thread on Getting Started
link> CHDK in Brief
link> CHDK User Quick Start Guide
link> CHDK Wiki FAQ
link> CHDK Firmware Usage
link> CHDK Installation Guide
link> One Page Users Guide
link> Prepare Your SD Card

Pay particular attention to the last link in this list - especially that part at the top of the linked page that suggests you use the STICK utility.

Thanks I have looked and read over but my camera isnt on the firmware site. Does this mean I can't do it?

The SX510 build 101a definitely IS available - but only as a trunk (CHDK 1.3) build not a stable (CHDK 1.2) build. That shouldn't matter at all.

Use my STICK app to download a build and prepare a card - http://www.zenoshrdlu.com/stick/stick.html

Having a problem with motion script, once it shoots it continues to shoot without any motion. Any ideas how to fix this?

A couple of other observations, make sure the AF assist lamp is off, and try locking auto-focus at the distance you require.
