I'm not entirely sure what constant bit rate does


Keeps the bitrate constant !

Which means that if the scene becomes more detailed and/or there is increased movement, the frame-compression will have to be increased and video quality will therefore be reduced

If you're referring to the override to select 'Super Fine' JPEG compression this isn't enabled for the A495.
If I follow this thread correctly,  this is an issue with jpeg's and not video ?  It seems to have started with video and transitioned.

@philmoz :  I assume the is an issue with a #define in platform_camera.h ?  Is so, which one ?   The problem with that file is that there doesn't seem to be a way to know if something is missing - it doesn't look like every parameter is either #define of #undef.


JPEG quality override is enabled by adding
    #define CAM_QUALITY_OVERRIDE            1
to platform_camera.h

include/camera.h should be the master list, with a define/undef for anything that might appear in platform_camera.h, plus a descriptive comment.

*should* being the operative word ;)

Don't forget what the H stands for.

There's an '#undef' in camera.h; but the comment leaves a bit to be desired.

I'll post a patch for the A495 and update the comment in camera.h later - unless waterwingz beats me to it.

I'm on vacation this week - laptop only, no build machine with me. :P

OK! I have some news:
How the camera detects that a card was inserted??

Today I was experimenting with a 2GB kingston microSD with the adapter. But, when I turn the camera on in playback mode and without the card in the adapter, it says "Memory card error" & "Card locked" both with the adapter locked and unlocked.

When I take the adapter out, the camera detects correctly that there's no card inserted.

Does this information helps with my 16GB card issue?
Anyone else had this problem too?

Thanks!

For the Aussie members. Dick Smith are selling Canon A495 for $68.00.

I purchased two and used CameraVersion13-sfx to read the version number from a photo.

Both read version 100 on the exif data.

I purchased my first Canon A495 about two months ago. That version reads 100 as well.

I have read through the posts in this thread, which is the best A495 CHDK to use with a version 100?

Use CameraVersion13's button "Phil's site" to browse to the exiftools site, download the Windows Executable (currently 8.60) and update (just drop 'exiftool(-k).exe' in the directory with CameraVersion13.exe and restart)

hth,

wim

PS above tested to work on a JPG from A495 / 100e
