FWIW, srsa_4c found a fix that works on at least some cameras, see https://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=11316.msg136622#msg136622 and sx710 r5353 for example. This did not resolve all issues for me on g7x, but works on my other digic 6 cams
I turned on the camera using the play button, saw the chdk logo pop up on screen, but when I press the menu button and look through the menus I can't find any option to update the firmware. Any ideas?
I'm guessing that you don't really want to update firmware, just get CHDK running? And it looks like you already have CHDK running if you've got the logo showing up. Press the <ALT> key to switch to CHDK mode. On the G16 that will be either the Video, Playback, or Shortcut button. The Shortcut button (just below the Video button) is the default. You should see the letters <ALT> at the bottom of the screen if you get it right. Press MENU at that point and start using CHDK.EDIT : with CHDK correctly installed, as you have it, you don't need to use the Play button to start. The normal On/Off button works if you press and release it. (Small issue I'm working on is to make that work with a long press on the On/Off. Stay tuned)
Okay thanks! The instructions are honestly a little confusing as I thought that I had to do the firmware updating to get it working. Anyway, I did as you said, pressing the shortcut button and some things pop up on the screen. At the top in red, a number and the letter M (looks like it's counting space on the card) just to the right of that is a green bar with percentage (battery power, I'm guessing) time on the top right, something that says "opt: 31degrees" On the bottom I don't see the word alt in red, but a thin red line that goes across the bottom left half of the screen. I press the menu button but I don't see any additional menus or features that are available. So I don't think it's working properly. I'm going to try to run through the installation all over again and see if that helps. STICK said that my card was okay and didn't need formatting or anything, but I might just try to reformat it and start totally from scratch and see if that helps.
Any suggestions anyone can give for scripts or features I should consider for a night sky time-lapse and/or night sky long-exposure and stacking of photos would be appreciated!
