Hi,
@cat
Sorry I'm wrong, Cardtrick only work with fat 16 (just edited my previous post)
So use your cam to format your 4g card then use HxD to change label.

Tried hack shutter speed already, but canon protect the shutter very carefully. Can set the speed to 1/5000, 1/8000 but when taking picture it change to 1/4000. Becoz it is a precise and expensive component so not try hard to hack it

Hi again,
Have a day off today, The Nation Day of Vietnam (2 Sep.). Nowhere to go so playing with camera and code.

Here my lastest release http://code.google.com/p/400d/downloads/list
New:
- Correct Evaluative mode set (now you can open dialog and press set button to active Evaluative mode, dont have to move cursor)
- Focus frame pattern. add 42 more patterns for your 400d, dont know 40d, 50d or higher models have this feature or not.
Not easy to make it work, but the final code is very simple.

How to choose Focus frame pattern:
Normal use:
- Press focus frame button to show FP dialog, use main dial or Up/Down/Left/Right button to choose focus point.
- Press focus frame button again to close dialog.

Pattern use:
- Fast press forcus frame button twice to show FP dialog. if you hear a beep and the dialog showed, use Direct Print button to change pattern (if you press the focus frame button not fast enough, the dialog not showed).
- Press focus frame again to return to default canon focus frame mode.

Hope ours Direct Print button not died too soon

Hello again.
Sorry for a long time missed out, but I have very little time for programming.

thaibv you've made great process grats :-)

As I was trying to get AUTO ISO work I found out the correct values for shutter speeds. You can see them in the bottom of this post. The current shutter speed can be found at *(int*)(0x16b7c). So a simple "minimum shutter speed" auto iso can be written easily. But I didn't find any data corresponding to lens focal distance. This is required to make a really good auto iso.
In the next 3 weeks I can't access my laptop. Thaibv if you feel enough time on your hands, maybe you can implement a small while loop for a simple auto iso. If not i will post it in a few weeks.

Nice work, but when shooting at 50 ISO all pictures are overexposed

I just found this today, this is absolutely incredible work! Thanks for publishing it.
So far so good except for the following..

Is there anyway to get a 8gb or 16gb CF card to work?

Thanks for any info.

EDIT:--------------

my bad, i looked back thru some posts and found this:

FAT16:
at 0x2B "EOS_DEVELOP"
at 0x40 "BOOTDISK"

FAT32:
at 0x47 "EOS_DEVELOP"
at 0x5C "BOOTDISK"

all is well with my 8GB card now. ;-)

Hi,

@Foldesa
I think focal distance value only available while pressing shutter half way down.

@ frogcement:
Cheers, enjoy it.

@ Zibri
Yes, overexposed. Really I thing 400d's sensor minimum iso value is 100. So I wrote some code to auto Av for them, pls set Video to NTSC/PAL to turn on/ off auto Av.
-----------

Again, please post your opinion on lower 100 iso values, so i can decide to keep them available or not.
Thanks!

I've noticed that when i go down to ISO 80, my AV+/-
reading goes to -2/3 of a stop. I then have to increase
it manually back to "0".

I haven't had a chance to pixel peep at the difference
of ISO 80 vs. ISO 100, but will try to find time and report
my findings. Again, thank you for your great work.

Hi frogcement,

If you set iso 80 and increase manualy back to 0, yours image will overexposed.

When set iso 16, Av will auto down to -3, and at iso 16 image will too too bright, loss details if increase Av comp to 0.

Note: Have found a bug. Double press Focus Frame button to enter Pattern mode, then press Menu or Picture button cause display off when exit menu or Picture viewer mode

Edit: Pls move your finger over Face sensor or press Shutter button half way down to turn display back on. Dont worry, correct it very easy.

Great Work! I don't use the Low-ISO Settings - but the other functions are great.
The new focus-pattern are very useful. All my CF-Cards now are working with your autoexec.bin.

Very good work!
