I have just tried chdk 1.2 on an sx 220 (Firmware Ver GM1.01B) and in every dng there is a right vertical white-red band that i need to crop.

Here is a dng: http://ubuntuone.com/49kAhm5e7Z07H7xtepVugi
Thanks for the report. Here's a test build with the active area adjusted based on your DNG. Please let me know if it looks OK so I can check it it.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Just tried against my monitor and seems perfect! Thank you!

I have also a question: is there a way of disabling the popup flash every time the camera is turned on?

Could you test if video recording crash if OSD is enabled? I'm not sure if this bug affect sx220, It was  solved on sx230 recently.

I'm not sure if the active area patch was correct. I can not see any bad areas in my DNG files with the old code. When you are correct also the SX230 is affected!

The SX220/230 was in last years one of the most successful canon models. Many people use CHDK with this cameras. Nobody else has reported this issue in last two years.

I see only some shodows in the corners. But this is because of the lense distortion. Here are my Files with the old code (DNG version 1.3)

DNG file 1 (normal picture): https://chdkde.box.com/s/8yanturct50qk8kilxn8
DNG file 2 (black picture): https://chdkde.box.com/s/o31iwbc5khayacta6l7i

Btw, funnel has made an intensive porting job.

The video capture works fine. There is no OSD problem. But it could be usefull also rework the code for the SX220. I think it is better we have an uniform code with the SX230.


CHDK for the SX220 works fine. There is only one Problem. The option 'super fine' for JPG files is not useable. The file size is smaler as with the option 'fine'. It seems to be a memory problem - read more ine the first pages of this thread.

I also have the feeling, in some cases the file size of the JPG file is smaller as without CHDK. But it is quite difficult to demonstrate this concretely.

I have tried with a pair of fullhd videos with osd and it worked fine.

I see them also in your files, from pixel column 4066.

Interesting. Thanks for the test.

What program do you use? I see nothing with Lightroom or the Adobe DNG codec as explorer extension. I am afraid that I can not see this strip, because the images are cropped with my software.

But this mean, the SX230 is also affected.

You are right! I normally use raw therapee, and also with dcraw and ufraw i see that problem. With darktable for example seems to me it's already cropped away (sorry but i don't have Lightroom)

Some programs use the "default crop", which CHDK sets as the same size as the jpeg, centered.

Other programs (like irfanview and therapee) use the "active area" which is based on which pixels show image data.

I'm pretty sure my adjustment is right for the active area. Your image shows a white border on the right for me in irfanview. The process I use is as follows
in chdkptp
dngload <filename>
dngdump -raw -rfmt=8pgm

This dumps the full image data as a pgm.

Open the pgm file in gimp, adjust brightness/contrast as needed to see the borders, and measure using the selection tool.
Don't forget what the H stands for.
