Help needed for S3IS!

Hello all!

I noticed something very annoying with my S3IS. It has nothing to do with CHDK, but maybe someone out there can help.

So here is the problem: when I switch the camera on using the EVF (and with the brightness on high), and then open the screen either to view or to compose with it, the brightness is automatically set to low. I have to go through the menu to change it back. If I do it the other way round (Switching the camera on using screen, then looking through the EVF), the same happens.
So, I always have to go to the menu to set the brightness to high when switching from the EVF to the screen and vice versa. It is really kind of irritating!
Anyone experienced the same? If so, is there a workaround? Could CHDK help in some way, like fixing the brightness to "high" for all time?

thanks in advance :)

Have you tried to put you camera on using the EVF and then open the screen?
Edit: I mean, it SAYS it is on "bright", but when i switch it to "low", I see no difference, and then when I switch back to "bright", I can see the EVF/screen brightnening.

now that you mention it, yes, it is like you describe. a bug \o/
we cant set it with chdk, at least not as of now. it is likely that the display brightness is a param and not a propcase, and we havent tapped into these enough yet.

it is possible, but not without changes in the sourcecode. it all boils down to a complete rework on the shortcut system.
