Hi, Jandro, welcome to the forum !

- first make your settings in the menu
- close the menu (this will save your settings)
- leave <Alt> mode (at bottom screen <Alt> disappears)
- if the camera is in shooting (not review) you can now take pictures

two other remarks:
- there's no need to set your entire message in bold
- please always mention your camera model (and firmware if relevant) when posting,
  CHDK supports 50 cameras and over 100 firmwares. Many people prefer to add their camera
  data to their Personal Text or Signature (see Profile -> Forum Profile Information)

Have fun with CHDK,

wim

@Jandro

It is probably a good idea to download the User Guide (see my signature)
The override section is at pages 8 .. 10
As you can see there, you will have to set both the "Override ISO Value" and the "Value Factor"

- Note that the camera will ignore ISO settings that it can not handle. Camera capabilities overview is
   here: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CameraFeatures Unfortunately no data are available for
   A470, but data for other camera's will give you an idea of what is possible

- AFAIK the Canon software will not show 'your' ISO in the EXIF data, to actually see the values CHDK applies, make them
   show in the CHDK display:
   go to Miscellaneous Values -> Show 'real' ISO or Show 'market' ISO (User guide page 30)

Hope that helps (a little)

wim
