Do you see the focus lines directly on the sensor?

No. Do you?

By the way calling Capture.SetGainAdjustmentMode allows to adjust FRSP image exposure(and standard captures too) using SetCMOSGainValue, SetCdsGainValue, SetVgaGainValue and maybe other functions too. I'm not sure how safe this is for an image sensor...

No…
But other guys can see it and they see the lines in the pictures after massive image processing

I think this is because of FPGA.
After calling SetSafFPGABypassMode I've got an image with some sort of focus pixels.

That's useful info (about the FPGA) and it makes sense. The M10 doesn't have it, the FPGA related functions are empty. BTW, Saf seems to expand to "safari" and seems to be the code name of the on-sensor AF. I've seen lots of related strings.

Are there focus pixels on images created by CaptureWithParam

Don't know what those params are, so I did not attempt to call it.

or Capture.WholeSerial ?

Got E31 when I tried, according to romlog.

Those are too deep level for my taste. Plus I'd prefer to avoid running stuff that might permanently "adjust" the hardware

I assume that SAF is Servo Auto Focus implemented in FPGA.

Did you execute Capture.Create and Mecha.Create before this?

Thanks, that helped. Phase detect pixels are present.

You can also play with function FC5B9A48(M10_110D). It has only four parameters that can be guessed. Try to set modes listed at FC5B9C88. There was no effect on m3, but maybe it will work on m10...

My current plan is to compare capt_seq's still image path (the raw type part) to Capture.WholeParallel's. But I'm working on eventproc related stuff ATM (found at least a dozen unrecognized eventproc tables, I'd like to get them into funcs_by*.csv).
Making FRSP a CHDK feature would be a nice addition - whether it's possible on Powershots with CMOS sensor is still to be found out.

Out of curiosity, I used the sigfinder (with my current patch) on the M6 dump. The group of event procedures that begin with "saf" on the M3 and M10, begins with "daf" on the M6.

Do you mean Single pixel AF vs. Dual pixel AF ?

I don't know what S means. Canon's codename for this technology is "Safari" - also appearing in the 750D dump, DAF seems to expand to "Dafigaro" (from M6 strings).
