What mode are you shooting in? Many recent cameras produce garbled raws in AUTO mode. Some other modes may also have problems. P mode generally works.
I have good news. Auto mode was enabled and is the reason why the ELPH 110HS was producing bad RAWs. The alternatives to Auto in this P&S camera are about 10 different modes (there are no aperture- or shutter-priority modes). These consist of P, portrait, B&W, soft-skin, long-exposure, and others. Portrait works. Long-exposure works. I believe earlier today P mode did not produce viable CRWs, but I will retest and report on that later.
This explains why RAWs worked one day, then mysteriously stopped working and continued to not work even after reinstalling CHDK.
What doesn't make sense is why JPEGs would be getting corrupted in Auto mode...
Also in case the timing issue has to do with the SD card write speed I would note that the problem occurs with multiple SD cards including my speed 10 card and my HCI card.
Thanks.
