CHDK and SX100is

Hi all,
        I recently (actually today) bought an SX100. A search of the forum turned up some issues with CHDK for this camera. Is there a particular release I should use?
Thanks,

You should use the latest trunk (development) autobuild, and if there are unresolved problems, you should report them.

Hi reyalp,
         Would this be the latest version for GM1.00C?
sx100is-100c-1.4.1-5097-full.zip

That's the latest 1.4 release build. You can use that if you want.

I suggested the trunk (1.5 development version) http://mighty-hoernsche.de/trunk/ but it doesn't really matter. There shouldn't be any camera specific differences between 1.4 and 1.5 for this port, the only reason I suggested it is that if there's something to fix, I'd probably work on it in 1.5 first.

Hi reyalp,
         I didn't know what the "latest trunk (development) autobuild" was or where to find it, so I just fumbled around until I found a build download page. But now that I know where to find the 1.5 build, I'll use it.
Thanks again,
..... john

Hi,
     I installed version 1.5 successfully. I've noticed that the camera now starts in the replay mode. This is not a big problem; because a light touch on the shutter button will extend the lens and get me into shooting mode. Have I missed a setting, or is this just how this camera starts with CHDK?
Thanks,
..... john

Yes, the behaviour is normal for most cameras. If you hold down the ON/OFF button for a bit longer, the camera will start in shooting mode.

Hi srsa_4c,
      That works like charm.

P.S. I never had this problem with my A590

A590 has a play/rec switch separate from power button. Most later PowerShots have separate buttons that can both power on the camera, like the SX100. On these cameras, CHDK doesn't know which button you started the camera with unless you hold it down a bit longer, so it defaults to starting in playback mode to avoid extending the lens unexpectedly.
