The firmware update method is not supported on sx60, you need to make the card bootable.

If your card is larger than 32 GB, it's probably formatted exFAT and needs to be reformatted FAT32 to be bootable. Windows makes formatting larger cards complicated, so it may be simplest to use a 32GB (or smaller) card.

For us to be able to help, you'll need to describe more specifically which settings you set and what happened.

Hi Sean have you had any luck using CHDK with the Sx60?

I am in the same boat in having got CHDK onto the camera but it not actually changing the ISO and shutter speeds despite my efforts using the CHDK as per manual

Did you actually take a picture with overrides enabled to confirm by looking at the resulting image that it was not using them?
