That means after trying these values in camera.h
Code: [Select]
   #define CAM_RAW_ROWPIX             3816
    #define CAM_RAW_ROWS                2784
    // cropping
    #define CAM_JPEG_WIDTH  3648
    #define CAM_JPEG_HEIGHT 2736
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X1 116
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y1 14
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_X2 3788
    #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2 2766

You still have black border ?

Note: 2x2 CFA means that your sensor have RGGB CFA (RED, GREEN, GREEN, BLUE dispose in 2x2 matrix) then:
first line is       RGRGRGRGRGRG...
second line is: GBGBGBGBGBGB...
third line is:     RGRGRGRG...
and so on   ...

I see! This is:
Code: [Select]
#define cam_CFAPattern 0x02010100 // Red  Green  Green  Blue
The result is attached. I get dark frame with left 4px, top 9px and right 4px.

That means if you have odd numbers you will misalign CFA pattern.


Look at Bayer filter in that page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_filter_array

Each bayer cell will become a pixel when demosaic

Thanx for the infos about CFA / Bayer.

Now using even value for CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2:
Code: [Select]
   #define CAM_ACTIVE_AREA_Y2          2764
Dark Frame is not visible.

>The green border mark the actual "good" pixel without the darker pixel (Dark Frame) around the "active" >area.
>AFAIK badpixel generation also use CAM_ACTIVE_AREA.

this dark frame around, have this something todo with darkframe subtraction ?

No.

In "dark frame reduction" the word frame is used in the same context as in "25 frames per second" in video files. So you take one or more photos (frames) and a dark photo (a dark frame) and subtraction will get rid of some noise.

In discussion related to RAW active area, the word frame may be used similarly to the frame around a painting on a wall i.e. to describe the shape of the inactive (apparently darker for some reason) area around the active area that ends up in JPEGs.

Thanks for clarification.

I've updated my figure. Now the question is if "official" CHDK DNG should include Dark Frame or not (like my figure) ?
I think DNG should not include Dark Frame.

1) DNG format have provision to pinpoint active area
2) The dark frame could be used by other software
3) Writing the raw data is faster when including all the sensor area :)
