i solved it using cardtricks on a pc to ake my 4Gb card bootable.. thanks for the info!!

anyway as everything looks like it's working, still on my 103b raw files aren't saved, it just saves jpgs..

any clue to where the problem could be?

i am more than willing to do all the testing i can, btw, to give my modest contribution to your valuable efforts.

YES !!

EDIT:  so are you using a single paritiion now ?  if so - dual partiitions on the SD940 are still a TBD

RAW is tricky - lots of post on this forum about that too.  I'll dig some up but what immediately comes to mind is that RAW is saved in a different folder on the SD card and you can't see them over a USB cable from your computer.  You need to plug the card into a card reader on your PC and navigate the folders.   All that assumes you have enabled RAW via the CHDK menus on your camera of coarse.

no, it's not that..

i always connect a card reader and import through Lightroom with it looking into all subfolders..

but i also checked card space and every folder manually  and it simply doesn't write them down.. it looks..

it gives on screen info about how many raws i could save on the camera..

i'll check that out tomorrow, i think..

thanks for every effort btw!

Have you tried looking using the CHDK file browser ? (misc->file browser in the CHDK menu)

If you are using multiple partitions (rather than just formatting 4gb fat32 fat16) then you would need to swap partitions to the large one for to see the raws on your card reader.

You should be able to tell if raws are being saved, because the save time will be much longer.

This is a  really good way to see if the camera is writing RAW images. If the CHDK browser can see them.  PC software makes no difference here.

reyalp - do you mean  4gb fat16   ("rather than just formatting 4gb fat32)" - I think the bootable CHDK partition needs to be FAT16  ?

Oh yea - no mistaking when the camera is storing RAW files !

Yes, i also checked with chdk file browser, AND i can tell it by saving times.

it is not saving RAWs..

my IXUS wouldn't save raw files faster than my 550D, right? <-(rethorical)

i'll be able to tell what else wrks or not later tonight, but definitely i'll do my best to help!

Do the menu's dissappear in shooting mode or playback mode or both ?  My nemisis RefreshPhysicalScreen() might be coming back to haunt me still.


Playback mode works just fine. The menu only flickers or disappears in both of the shooting modes.
When I enter the regular menu in shooting mode the chdk menu works fine, too.
There are only problems when there's a "live image" in the background.

I can confirm that it doesn't save raw files. I couldn't find them using the file browser.

1.03b beta testing:
I am trying to start it using a Kingston 8GB SDHC, FAT32. I can test with my 2GB cards later tonight.

1. Does CDHK start when it's on FAT32? After extracting the files directly to the FAT32-formatted flash and starting the camera, the 'Firmware Update' choice is not available in the playback-mode menus.
EDIT: Oh. That's because the PS.FI2 file is missing from ixus120_sd940-103b-0.9.9-1067-full.zip

2. Partitioned the 8GB SDHC to two partitions (FAT12: 2MB, FAT32:7673MB) and copied files as described by SkyWalker9. (BOOTDISK.BIN to FAT12; CDHK folders to FAT32). The SD is set to autoboot (FAT12 partition) via the SDM Installer, physically set to "lock", and inserted into the camera. The camera is started, and after a 4 second delay, the "CDHK Firmware..." splash screen is displayed, and the CDHK menu is available.
a. No pictures can be taken because memory is full (2MB), and the 2nd partition is not available (Is the partition supposed to be automatically detected/used?) [dual partitions doesn't seem to work]
b. "Firmware update..." is still not available in the menus. [can autostart, but not manual start? (missing PS.FI2)]

3. Selecting "Show Memory Info" causes the "CDHK Firmware 'CDHK 0.9.9-1067..." splash screen to be displayed continuously until the device is powered off.
