Hello!
First of all, let me say that I am fascinated by CHDK, so: thanks to everyone involved in the project!
You probably guessed that I'm a newbie here: I stumbled across CHDK by accident, a month (or so) ago.
Anyway, a few days ago I loaded Pavel's (beta 5) CHDK build into my Canon, and it worked... More or less, anyway.
Scripts wouldn't do much "out of the box", besides shutting the camera down.
Now, generally, scripts wouldn't be a problem; I could easily modify them, but the very command that is supposed to do most of the magic, the 'shoot' command, behaves oddly.
Instead of metering, focusing and shooting, it just meters, focuses and marks the AiAF focusing area(s), but nothing further, I'm affraid. Turning AiAF off, doesn't improve a thing...
Strangely enough, click/press "shoot_half" apparently does nothing at all, while click/press "shoot_full" takes the picture, not bothering to measure the light - just as advertised. (I tested all of this by means of few very simple three-line-sctipts I wrote)
Also, turning the built-in flash on (in either mode) prevents even the click/press "shoot_full" from working.
Vers.req shows this data:
Canon A460
P-ID:3149 PAL-V
Firmware ver. GM1.00D
Adj ver.009.005
Tested w/SanDisk 1G SD card and the supplied canon 16MB MMC
Did anyone encounter similar problems? Is there a workaround? What to do, where to go
?
Please, help...
Thank you all for bearing with me this far!
Cheers! Ino
