SX100IS stuck in Playback mode :(

I'm a bit of a newb to the CHDK world, so excuse me if this is a dumb question, but... I just got an SX100IS running 1.00C, onto which I promptly loaded the latest allbest build of CHDK (#51-442 built 20080712 21:33:48). After properly preparing my SD card (formatted, made bootable, extracted the CHDK ZIP, and locked), I inserted it and switched on the camera, only to find it will only allow me to use playback mode. If I attempt to switch to record mode, the camera powers itself off. What am I doing wrong? :[

You know what, I just figured it out. I hit the shutter a half-press and into record mode it went. Feel free to lock this thread, or keep it around for others to learn from my stupidity. :) :)

Since you figured it out, I don't see much "stupidity" in evidence...!! 8)

Have you tried a shoot half auto start script?

Well, here is test version - http://ewavr.nm.ru/chdk/for_test/allbest-sx100is-100c-51.zip , which allow turn SX100IS on in both record and playback modes (based on G7 sources).

Yes, autobuild works.

I just tested your build on a freshly formatted SD card, just to make sure it has nothing to do with some files on my card, but still - doesnt work.

Well, I make new test version (the same link) - maybe camera can be turn on faster (no feedback yet in russian forum).

Yes, that works. But even with your new build i need to hold the buttons for at least a second.   ???
