Combined with the flash,the ISO values outside Canon's range causes camera crash in all modes.
Can you upload a romlog that was recorded after one of these crashes? Just so we know what kind of problem this is.
Here it is.

Thanks.
ASSERT!! CdsGain.c Line 138
Comparison fails for two APEX96 values (very likely Sv96).
It would be very easy to hack this around by replacing the DebugAssert handler with a custom version that filters for this specific event (simply returning, carefully preserving the R4 register, would be enough). But we don't currently do hacks like that in any official ports.
I have no idea what this check is good for (it's clearly sensor gain related), and I don't know if skipping it could cause any damage.

Do those low ISOs (which are barely effective as I see) really have noticeable effect on noise or amp glow?

The average user will not notice any significant difference.Amp glow or noise can easily be removed using a dark frames in postprocessing.
What I've been talk, only is related to the discussion of the lowest ISO value, which can be registered.
The advantages are not worth the posibility of numerous camera crashes.

If it really reduces amp glow, figuring out the underlying cause could be useful. Not having the glow there in the first place is probably going to be better than subtracting it away.

I'd be interested to see DNGs to compare if you can upload them somewhere.

My general feeling is that CHDK should let users do anything that is useful, even if there's a risk of crashes, but of course "useful" is a bit subjective.

Thanks. To me, the difference between 50 and 80 seems very marginal, and 100 is only slightly more. I wouldn't feel bad about limiting the ISO to 100 to avoid crashes.

To compare, I processed each image in raw therapee with neutral settings, +3ev exposure compensation.

Using 768 square crops form the upper left, where amp glow is the strongest. Top is ISO 50, middle is ISO 80, bottom is the ISO 50 image subtracted from ISO 80 using gimp layer "subtract" mode

As above, but with ISO 100 instead of ISO 80

OK, here's a patch.
I'm sorry for the delay but I could not do it before.

No worries, not at all urgent.

Hi folks,

I'm a newby looking to purchase the most recent affordable camera model with a working port.  There's a couple of cheap SX410IS models on Gumtree at the moment and it seems to be one of the flashier models, so I'm trying to figure out if it will work for me.

It's been a long time since the last post in this thread and I see the build is still on the unstable releases page.

Did a showstopping issue arise, or did people just get busy, or perhaps moving the release to the stable branch was overlooked?

Cheers

Nigel
