Are you able to do the same patches and tests with some other ixus_sd ports that are on the way? 
Ever tried to find the string 'MFon' and call the corresponding function MFon() ?

Hi
I'm able to test on an ixus850_sd800 but it's the camera of a friend so i don't have it always here for testing. Not everything is working right now on this port (raw). We tried a little with your source today and it seems that sd overwrite works. We don't make the whole test, but maybe later this week we will do and report.

I have also to say that i tried the MFon() and MFoff() funktion like whoever descripted. On ixus70_sd1000 this funktion is supported. On ixus850_sd800 there's no MFon().

is this a function?

Simply press "C" (code) key.

ROM:FF996198                 LDR     R3, =0xB7CA0
ROM:FF99619C                 MOV     R12, #1
ROM:FF9961A0                 STR     LR, [SP,#-4]!
ROM:FF9961A4                 MOV     R0, #0xC
ROM:FF9961A8                 ADD     R1, R3, #0x68
ROM:FF9961AC                 MOV     R2, #2
ROM:FF9961B0                 STRH    R12, [R3,#0x68]
ROM:FF9961B4                 BL      SetPropertyCase
ROM:FF9961B8                 BL      sub_FF998D00
ROM:FF9961BC                 MOV     R0, #0
ROM:FF9961C0                 LDR     PC, [SP],#4

short x; // located at 0xB7CA0+0x68
int MfOn(void){
 x=1;
 SetProperyCase(12,&x,sizeof(x));
 sub_FF998D00();
 return 0;
}

Maybe. Simply call it. The worst thing that can happen is a camera shutdown.

There is absolutely no hurry. Complete you port first and then report.

 ...

IXUS800 has exactly the same function, but crashes.
Source modules "MF.c" and "MFBar.c" have been stripped. Look for these strings.

Note: SetPropertyCase called, so there is no need to create a NHSTUB(MFon,addr).
Simply call shooting_set_prop(12,1) and see what happens...

Is it possible for CHDK on SD700 to have a corrected copy of the function that crashes the camera?

If it works 90% of the time and crashes on a single input instance, it might not be so hard to complete it... (same for other IXUSes)

Just an idea.

}

Ok, sorry everyday i learn something new.

btw have you read about the propcase for the ixus850_sd800 they are digicII based?

thanks quietschi

Hi mkmenuts,

I thought about it, but it is an awful lot of work.

To me, it is very low priority. Just for perfection, I would not do the job.
Auto-focusing works very well for far distances, and full telephoto is meant for that.

I'm currently more interested in the macro range, as you surely noticed.
There auto-focusing begins to fight against you...
