No canon fw upgrade exists ATM. I am working on trying to get a 1.00b blind port but i don't have a great firmware dump. If you can provide a fw dump of the 1.00b then I can likely get you a port.

harpo

ok in the next days i will read the instructions and i will try to dump the firmware, i don't know anything but i'm a web developer so i hope i will do it

Hi all

Seem to have made a 4gb card work on my Mac and got the Canon 100is to shoot a few raw/dng pics.

What can I do with the dng files in OS X, Win or Linux?
Will they display/convert or is it still in progress?
Can I make a real 5 pic HDR yet?
Sorry for the questions if all this is still very much in beta.

Thanks very much for all the hard work.

Patch for fixing RAW/DNG (with correct colour profile noless), addition of a palette (sadly SD780 is also different) and a fix of the UP button spitting messages to screen. This also cleans up camera.h SD780 section considerably.

@Hux

The build you are using has a bug in RAW/DNG so you can't use them atm. The patch I've uploaded has the fix but it could be a few days before it's entered into the autobuild. (a guess as it depends on the schedule of people who can enter in such changes)

Once the fix is in you can use the DNG native on the mac (at least in 10.6 you can) They are simply higher detail versions that become the eventual JPG (if anyone wants to correct my layman answer please do)

"Can I make a real 5 pic HDR yet?" Sadly I don't know much about this question.

First: Hello & welcome

If braketing in continuous mode is working on the SD780, you can easily do it like described here:
--> Scriptless Tv bracketing (also: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,2972.msg37704.html#msg37704)

To build the HDR images you need a appropriate software, you'll find some links here:
--> CHDK wikia: Software - Stacking & HDR

The new #881 Autobuild download package should be available from the Autobuild Server in ~ 20 minutes...

@HarpoMa
Awesome, Jason

It's great to have raw again. And on my Macbook, they open right up in PS4, no intermediary programs needed. Greatly appreciated!
I do notice that script parameter values are not saved, ie: ultra_intervalometer on my other cameras switching to parameter set 1 from 0 will save my settings in 0, on this camera that doesn't happen, not a great big deal, just have to set those values each time before using. I use that script with a setting of one for single shots, so just changed the default value in the script. And I know... they're called Beta for a reason. I am very happy to have so much more to do with this camera! Great job!
Thank you, Jason,
Dan

I doubt script parameter values are specific to the sd780. Are you certain there is not a "clear settings" on boot option turned on? If you know different then mail me a copy of the script and I'll test with it.

The thing is, it occurs inside the script, without leaving the parameter menu, so clearing override values(which is not set) shouldn't affect it, the camera has not been shut off.
This is the script:

rem Author - Keoeeit
rem Written for S-Series
rem Should be okay on others
rem Use Endless mode with caution
rem See documentation for important info
rem first version
@title Ultra Intervalometer
@param a Delay 1st Shot (Mins)
@default a 0
@param b Delay 1st Shot (Secs)
@default b 0
@param c Number of Shots
@default c 5
@param d Interval (Minutes)
@default d 0
@param e Interval (Seconds)
@default e 0
@param f Interval (10th Seconds)
@default f 5
@param g Endless? No=0 Yes=1
@default g 0
p=a*60000+b*1000
t=d*60000+e*1000+f*100
if c<1 then let c=5
if t<100 then let t=100
if g<0 then let g=0
if g>1 then let g=1
if p<0 then let p=0
z=t*c
y=p+z
print "1 Cycle Time:", y/60000; "min", y%60000/1000; "sec"
goto "interval"
:interval
if p>0 then gosub "pause"
print "Shot 1 of", c
shoot
if c=1 then end
for n=2 to c
sleep t
print "Shot", n, "of", c
shoot
next n
if g=1 then goto "interval" else end
:pause
n=(a*60)+b
for m=1 to n
q=n-m
print "Intvl Begins:", q/60; "min", q%60; "sec"
sleep 930
next m
return

What happens is that when I load script from file, I get the normal menu, split into two part, the bottom part having the parameters to be set, the top part having the line with:
parameters set (0), and if you set your values in the bottom part, and then switch to parameters set (1), and switch back, the values I picked in set(0) should still be saved, but they revert to defaults.
It works on my other cameras, but not on this one.
Just noted something else, while I was checking the script thing, if in auto mode, I hold down the power switch for a bit while chdk is active, my settings change on screen from auto to macro symbol. I don't know if that is a normal function, and I just never saw it before.
Sorry if this stuff sounds picky, I am really happy with what there is right now, just trying to help with any testing.
Regards,
Dan

Hi,

short question: does this CHDK for 100IX support continuous mode?
The standard menu does not offer a continuous mode and as far as I understood, this is a prerequ for the CHDK continuous mode.
(I would like to take a picture every x seconds, auto mode, no change in the settings like Tv, Av, ISO....)

Best regards,
Rainer

Continuous mode is a Canon camera mode available on all Powershots (also on the Ixus series), available in M mode.

For this an intervalometer script can be used, e.g. this or this one, also a script like this.
A CHDK script runs in any camera mode, also in Auto mode...
