Seriously, I have zebra working on my Ixus 95 when focus zoom is OFF, save as RAW works OK with CHDK RAW, but DNG RAW files have a shiny purple tint to them. CHDK histogram seems OK. On the negative side, the OSD font is far too small

[Edit] build 922, using CHDK-Shell, all compile options OFF.
Zebra also works with focus zoom ON.
Grids are shifted to the left of the LCD instead of being centred.
Tv override works.

This sounds really simplistic, but under Visual Settings > Menu RBF Font... I think I set it to Verdan~4.ref and everything got a lot easier for me to read.  The fonts on this release are a bit small for me but its very easy to fix with a simple font adjustment.

Have you tried changing the fonts?

Yes, I changed the menu font, but I want to change the OSD (system) font.

It is not crappy, it is lovely.

Compared to e.g. A720 it completely sux. I personally intensively tried using both.

CHDK may be somewhat handy for SD1200, but it's really-really pity that there is no real aperture (iris) in the camera. DOF is unresolvable issue on my sister's SD1200 (why,WHY did buy her this cam:((), so it kills the full joy of ability for long exposure & RAW it'd have with CHDK. I'm not counting scripts here, you know what I mean ;( My "old reliable" A720IS is much better. :)

@hwntw

The system font is built from scratch in source code, find the code in the /lib/font directory;
the font characters are defined in "font_8x16_uni.h"

HTH,

How many codes would you have to write and where?


What does your question mean, I cannot understand it ?

Do yourself a favour, buy a Panasonic FZ38 or similar, like I have.

Thanks, 13k lines of code, I asked and I got it!

I am having trouble finding the "Firm Update" option in the menus. It should be right bellow the "Transition" option right?

My camera's version is 1.00c. (I was able to get the vers.req to work) I've tried most of the different versions of ps.fi2 posted on this forum and in the CHDK shell, but I haven't been about to do a "firm update" with any of them.

I have also tried reformatting the card (several times) does it have to be in a particular format for firmware update method to work? (FAT16, FAT32...)

Is their a limit to how big the card can be? (I'm using a 2Gb card)

Yes; it's only there when you've started the camera in PLAYBACK mode (with the [>] button)...

Just start the camera in PLAYBACK mode !
The "Firmware update" menu item is visible when the camera is started in playback mode (lens retracted) & there's a file "PS.FI2" stored in the card's root...

@ ixus95 porters

In \core\kbd.c, the zoom table for ixus95 is seven entries in length.

According to your platform\ixus95\main.c, the ixus95 only has five zoom positions.
