Great, ilialin, that kind of testing and reporting is nice to see! I myself have not actually tested the various CHDK features very much yet, because when I've had time for CHDK, I have mostly tried to hunt the few remaining obvious issues (still no progress at the moment) in the SX1 port :)

pev69, you are welcome.
According to long exposure settings - every value longer than 64 does in fact 64 seconds.

@alexpreyer: If you've got time: try out different font sizes (for CHDK) and/or symbol/OSD informations ON/OFf... eventually you can find out which element is causing the CHDK Mainmenu to "vanish" sometimes...

Thx & gnight

I'll try different settings this evening.

But after two weeks time (i started on Wednesday 2 weeks ago) I'm today happy that technically the really important functions of CHDK (to me) are already available on the SX1... :-) so are you guys out there! ;-)
Yes, we are here. I'm watching this thread from the beginning. Great job all of you. I can't help with coding but I have SX before firmware update (my ver. 1.00E). Maybe it will be helpful according to this post:

hm, odd. i guess we can only find out if one of you ports chdk for the older firmware version as well, and finds someone who hasnt yet updated their firmware. perhaps canon did something evil. doubt it though, but you never know ;)
I was planning to update firmware to test yours CHDK, but I can wait with it until final release. I was using CHDK before (on S2 IS) so I basically know how it works. I can test whatever you want, but it may required giving me me some step-by-step instructions. I will try to follow this thread, but if needed contact me b email: sei(-at-)o2.pl

@ilialin: I KNOW that longer exposures do work (measured on with 90sec and one with 120sec). This after I modified (added) a #Define Parameter on Camera.h.  ...

But I know this, because before (without the additional parameter) it was a version, which - regardless of setting would exactly take 64sec...

I will check in Post above, if the correct "Diskboot.bin" has been attached (or did you use/compile your own version?)

....I downloaded and used the file (diskboot.bin) out of the ZIP above (page 6 of this thread)

ilialin:  I don't know (yet) what you are doing wrong: I just set (according to my instructions) a 90 sec exposure and the shutter stayed open for exactly 90 SEC! ((from moment of "pressing shutter completely down (--> change on LCD) until you here the "click" sound when shutter/aperture goes back to "standby" position)

- Do you have Firmware 2.00h installed on your SX1?
- Did you use (all) files provided in the "Tester-Package" post (or own compilation?)
- Did you follow the notes on how to use long exposures?
- How did you measure the time?

Thanks

@pev69: the later post (CHDK-shell files) does contain the correct "camera.h" version....so "long exposures" will work on our future builds....

same background here: I had until Feb 09 my S2 IS (+ CHDK) ...and missing CHDK (on the SX1) took about 3 days ;-)

Yeah, I was thinking of starting to compare the Dump of the 1.00e/1.00f version of the SX1 to see if "boot-stuff" shows a major change...

Thanks and keep an eye on this thread here :-)

@alexpreyer:

Some findings on my side: Actually the "menu" disappearing does not seem to be if just CHDK (diskboot.bin) is on the SD Card is used...(means default font + look and feel)...

However: sometimes it is also working fine (not disappearing after 2 sec)...

It may be a minor issue (not impacting to much other LCD size/buffers of other cam's) but the SX1 due to "two modes" of view on the LCD of the SX1... I will later check different "fonts"/sizes/Codepages...eventually the choosen one is "nasty"

Hope you will find other "trackable" conditions, when the "flickering" is starting...

Had some minutes during my lunch break to test. I took a new card (only a 16MB) and installed it again (took my camera this morning with me, but without the SDcard containing CHKD). And I also hadn't the issue. Could stay in different menues without beeing kicked out. I'll go deeper in this when I'm back home.

Aperture Overriding working also on "higher" values

As you know: High Aperture = more sharpness on background, eventouth focussing on near objects

Took these pictures from my balcony, focussing the rail...watch the difference of sharpness of the background (flowers on tree & window of garage). These pictures proof that the values are not only "set" but also "used". :)

Aperture4 & 8 done in Standard Tv-Mode (no aperture override), 11, 18 & 33 with CHDK override (M Mode) and adjusting shutterspeed through "Cam" accordingly (this is not yet automatically corrected, if used in P Mode the pictures will mostly get to dark, so i use Tv or M Mode and adjust shutterspeed that the end-result will show up right)....

All pictures (except last one) are taken with ISO override down to 25.

Due to space limitations: I sized the original pictures down to VGA (640x480) but the difference is still obvious...
