Hello all, I'm a newbie here, hope you don't mind if I post a few questions... I have been lurking on this forum and also studying the Wikia for a few days, trying to find answers, but failed miserably. Maybe I'm not technically skilled enough to use CHDK but I have to be a little stubborn and try once more.
I own a SX200 IS and haven't found much info about this particular camera and how CHDK works on it. Still, I downloaded the right version, installed it to my card and checked it out. Yes, it works, some features like the live histogram, optical zoom for videos, and the battery indicator in percentage are awesome, but I'm having two problems with the things that matter the most to me:
- Scripts wont work. I tried the best recommended scripts from Wikia, but though the camera says they are running when I run them (I followed the user guide step by step), there are no files generated, nothing happens at all.
- I can't read the raw files created. I tried using Raw Therapee but it says the files are a non-supported type, tried converting the original files with dng4ps2 but it just can't find any raw file in the card, and even tried dropping those in all the other image programs I have. Nothing worked. The only program that was able to "see" my raws was the Faststone Viewer, but that's not enough, I need to be able to edit them and turn them into images.
So can anyone who has a SX200 help me here? What are the existing working scripts for this camera? I'm interested particularly in a timelapse script (multi-purpose, not only for night or sunset), a lightning type MD script and a HDR bracketing script. And also I'd like to be able to use my raws!!
Thanks in advance!
