However I recently passed on my older sx50 to my son so he could use it for videos, with the idea he could overcome the 4GB limit by using one of the scripts allowing several to be automatically strung together - and we can't get it to run. The message "No @chdk_version, assuming CHDK 1.3" keeps appearing.
I should add that I've also tried just pushing the shutter button, also with no response.When I do that though, I notice that a message appears saying STARTED ubasic 3 Parse error TERMINATED (but not when I push the Record button).
I'm using the third option on the CHDK page https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/Continuous_Video_Scripts.(I tried option 1b initially, which is in ubasic and which I suffixed with .bas, but when it didn't work and the message "assuming CHDK 1.3" came up, I figured that the script must be obsolete, so moved on to option 3 - it being the only other one designed for cameras with a Record button.) What I did was just copy/paste the program from the CHDK page to a text file, add the .lua suffix, then transfer that to the CHDK SCRIPT file on my SD card before inserting it in the camera.
Thx. Just loaded it onto my card, inserted it, got to the Load Script from File and clicked that; the name of the program appeared in the bottom left, so I pressed the Shutter button while still in ALT.
Make sure you installed the "full" version of CHDK, not the "small" zip from the autobuild site.
