I think I stumbled upon a issue with the OSD in combination with CHDK 0.9.8-755.
Everything works like it should but when I try to flip the display the image is instantly being projected in a mirror image as soon as I start to move the display.
And only when I start to rotate the display, it flips back.

Oh dear, yes, it looks like the firmware draws the overlay also mirrored, when the display is flipped out and not rotated. Well, this should be rather easy to fix, since the display flip/rotate status is already known to the code. I'll see if I can squeeze some time to fix this also. Darn, I haven't gotten much anything done to CHDK lately. My intention is still to rework the whole gui-drawing system and now also including this fix + edge overlay + ... :), whenever I get myself to kick myself in the asss to devote the time...

No bug/issue - just set "Reverse Disp." to OFF in the Canon menu (1st tab)  ;)

Thanks, fe50, for reminding, I did not remember there was an option for this. This would need to be taken into account in the fix. Hmm, I don't see a propcase reported yet for this, darn, needs to be discovered.

I have tried to make my user menu using http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_firmware_usage/AllBest#User_Menu but I don't succeeded. Had anyone made User Menu ?

Maybe you use the wrong key, on cameras with an additional delete/AF frame selector button as the SX1 / SX10 the keys may be different...

To add menu items while you're in the User Menu's edit mode, use the DELETE button (also called "AF Frame Selector" or "Single Image Erase" button).

When I try to load build 758 on my SX1, the camera freezes.  Maybe I've missed something, but I believe I'm following all the steps in the README.

I do the usual: copy the tarball onto my card (8 GB, formatted FAT32 -- the card's formatted name is CANONSX1 so that I can distinguish it from cards I use in other cameras), press the playback button, go to firmware upgrade (which asks me if I want to upgrade from 2.0.0.0 to 1.1.0.0).  When I confirm, the screen shuts off, the power button glows steady green, and the only way I can recover is to remove the batteries.

I bought this camera in February, prior to its release in the US.

My vers.req information:

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS
P-ID: 3195  PAL

Firmware Ver GM2.00H
No Error
Feb 4 2009  10:41:18

Adj. Ver.021.000

SubCPU Ver. 1.01
Total Shoot 200

Mecha Condition: 0x00000000

rlk: You have to use the autoboot option with the SX1 for now.  the step by step is posted earlier in this thread.

have fun :)

I can't make head or tail of the instructions.  If it helps, I'm running Linux.  I think I've figured out how to make my card bootable, but when I protect it and insert it, the camera just starts up normally.

I've downloaded the G10 dump, and found the requisite address in PRIMARY.BIN (0x7e368c starts with 0b 45 and looks random enough to be a key).

There's already a ps.fi2.  Am I supposed to modify that file?  The instructions reference ps.inc.txt or something like that.  What is that file and how do I use it?

When I was developing RAWs (canon RAWs not form CHDK) I found interesting thing. Photo was shot in resolution 3648x2736. I have tried 2 programs for RAW developing: Digital Photo Professional (free, download with firmware update from Canon site) and Raw Therapee (freeware). Digital Photo Professional gave me an image with original resolution 3648x2736 (10 MP) but Raw Therapee gave me the image in initial resolution = 4144x2764 (11.5 MP) but with some bla >:(ck borders. After cropping it gave me 3956x2756  (+/- 4 pixels) (10.9 MP) and format with aspect ratio =1.44 closer to 3:2 (1.5) then to 4:3 (1.33). This way you can gain extra 150 pixels from both sides of photo on shorter edges. Cons: developing RAW in Raw Therapee is much more complex (at least for me).

P.S. rlk, here I've made step-by-step instruction based on previous posts of developers. Maybe it will help you.

On card bigger than 4 Gb you should make 2 partitions. http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,3410.msg32257.html#msg32257. Maybe try with smaller card.

Those instructions don't appear to deal with the ps.fi2 issue (and for that matter, appear to apply to Windows, which does me no good).

I have patches to dcraw from Dave Coffin that let dcraw correctly process SX1 raw files.  The patch can also be applied to ufraw.
