Do we have a test build with ps.fi2 for the latest 1.7 build, I want to test it but can't load it using the firmware update method
Whoops, didn't even notice it was disabled in the previous one. Here's a build with FI2 enabled.

Thanks for the latest build, after a few weeks of testing it looks its stable enough to be posted on the chdk build downloads.

As for the power buttons test here is my experience. Using the self booting sd card with card locked it works as mentioned.

when using the firmware update method it doesn't work on my camera, but its not a concern for me as I always use the playback button and the shutter button to move back and forth as with my other models using the firmware update method, It's also the same as my sx120is if i use my firmware update method, the behavior is the same as the sx430is.

One suggestion I like to add if possible is to removed the video recording time limit if possible, no need to make it a choice on the menu, anyway we are limited by the 4gb limit for fat32 and battery life if you don't use an external power supply.

What happens when you use firmware update? The camera should stay in playback mode. Since the camera must already be powered on and in play mode to run firmware update, the "hold power to switch to start shooting mode" option doesn't really apply, but if running firmware update caused the camera to switch to rec mode, that would be a bug.

Using the Firmware update mode, the camera remains in playback mode, pressing power button turns off the camera, to go to start shooting mode i have to press the shutter or shoot button

@kbc11140  Thanks for confirming, that's the expected and correct behavior.

If you or @DashingRiggs can run the mftest.lua script described at https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/Testing#mftest.lua and post the results here, I think this port is probably otherwise OK to add to the autobuilds.

I'm sorry I'm just now responding- the email notifications were detected as spam on my Gmail. After school in ~7 or 8 hours I'll try out the latest build. I've been enjoying the previous build from I think 2021. I have put on a couple timelapse intervalometer scripts, and most seem to work. In the newest build, will there be support to use the cam as a webcam? If so I'll be pretty happy to test the build.

No worries, this port has been mostly sitting since 2021, I just figured I'd ping people who have the camera and were recently active.

No, it has essentially the same functionality as the previous build. CHDK doesn't provide a way for cameras to be recognized as a webcam, though you can get a low res camera live view feed with chdkptp.

What I'm specifically looking for is the for someone to run the mftest.lua script, following the instruction on https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/Testing#mftest.lua so we can resolve which focus modes CHDK focus overrides work in.

Camera crashes on focus but works otherwise.

To add, I thought the ptp thing was only available on select cameras, like as in it didn't work for all cams. I will try that out either today or tomorrow as it's getting late.

Thanks. Can you try with "Servo AF" and "Continuous AF" disabled in the Canon menu?

You can leave the first set_focus() test option disabled, that one was actually known to crash before, so no need to repeat it.

It's supported on pretty much every camera, and should be on this one. At least, the notes.txt said was tested. If you get chdkptp working you can run the tests described on https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/Testing#Testing_PTP

I've gotten it. Before, I didn't know it reset if the camera's AF to on if it is restarted/crashed and that you had to re-disable the options..
Also my bad for doing with both "set_focus()" on the first time as I saw what you said about that after I did.

Also I can confirm that the PTP software works pretty almost perfectly. I think if the camera disconnects while the software is open, it freezes the PTP software and I can't even shut it down with task manager,ProcessKO, or alt+f4
