I am new to chdk. Just unpacked my sx210is.
First trick I learned was what 'start in playback mode' really means:
- Switch on the camera, the lense comes out.
- Hit the Play button, then wait until the lense goes in.
(depending on the menu setting this can take 60 seconds)
- only then, Func -> Disp shows me the firmware screens:
GM1.00C (1.0.0.0); Build: Feb 5 2010 13:36:08; Adj Ver.008.005
Only then, I can run Firmware update, see the greeter screen with
Firmware 'CHDK 0.9.9-1004'; Build: Dec 17 2010 18:57:20; Camera: sx210is - 100c
Permanent Memory/Battery indicators appear. Nice!
In <ALT>, Remote Parameters, I check Enable Remote
When aplying power to the USB, I get a di-di-dit, and the framing indicators on the monitor, like if
half trigger was pressed. But no photo is taken.
I'd like to help get the remote function working.
Any further tests, I should perform?
Thanks, JW
