Beta 3 for sx230hs Firmware version 1.0.1a - Follow ups.
You can add the BOOTDISK flag with HxD hex editor http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/. Go to Extras->Open disk->Select SD card and uncheck readonly. Type BOOTDISK at 0x1E0 like in the attached picture, The SCRIPT tag is optional, you can skip that.
Thanks, tried that ensuring that my editing matched that image exactly, with same experience as multiple partitions (no boot). Tested with both Beta 3 and Beta 2. At this point, suspect something wrong with DISKBOOT.BIN; has this been tried by anyone else?
-camera freezes/turns off if you take picture above ISO400, so its good to keep preselected ISO upto 400 instead of keeping it on AUTO ISO.
Thank you, that helped. I haven't seen an outright crash since I set a static ISO value.
-for bracketing: use one bracketing option (either Tv or Av or ISO) than, put on custom timer and select time and number of shots, you can select any number of shots, and press the shutter just once. no need to keep it pressed. note that it will work without selecting contineous shooting.
Oh, yes, that's way nicer (using the custom timer instead of the continuous shooting). This didn't work in beta 2 but does in beta 3.
Could be a firmware issue but have you tried to do as you described above and then choose a custom timer with 3 shots instead of full continuous mode before shooting?
Heh. This is interesting. Yes, I've now gone back and tested the same operation with both the Beta 2 and the Beta 3 buildes. The Beta 2 build (in continuous mode rather than custom) show correct under and over exposure, but do not reflect the changes in the EXIF metadata at all. The beta 3 build shows the correct data in the EXIF metadata, but the images do not show any changes at all.
I've put versions of the two test sets online here:
