RAW capture is really strange... The regular JPG image is fine, but when I open the DNG file, I can see the edges of the lens in the corners. Example of what I'm talking about:

JPG: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t245/BWL_AK_BLAZER/Misc/IMG_0426s.jpg

RAW: http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t245/BWL_AK_BLAZER/Misc/CRW_0426.jpg

If you open the two images in tabs and switch between the two, you can see the two images are completely different! What's going on here?

That's normal for current cameras.
With the processing power available in the camera it's cheaper to do software distortion correction than to build a distortion free lens.
The raw file is showing the actual captured image - the camera jpeg has been corrected and cropped in the camera to remove the distortion.

Makes me wonder what's the point of me having RAW capture on this camera now... I don't have the know-how to fix the images. Seems rather cheap of Canon to have done that...

Ah - the subject of so many flame wars on this forum.   Use the search function and ask for "RAW".   Lots of stuff to learn, good and bad.  Many of the more accomplished member of this forum produce amazing images from cheap Canon P&S cameras using CHDK raw and a few free image processing tools.

Canon is one of the last companies to adopt this "cheap" way, as you call it. Blame the competition, especially Panasonic for starting this. I do not think this is the right thread to complain.

To answer your dilemma about the use of RAW files, if you search this thread someone posted a great lens profile for this camera (thanks, btw!) which is very helpful in correcting the images in one step if you are using Photoshop or Lightroom.

Not just Canon, I think you'll find all the manufacturers are doing this now.
With Canon/CHDK at least you have the option to get the RAW data and process it how you want to - not just how the camera does it internally.

The distortion quickly reduces as you zoom in and is barely noticeable at medium to long focal lengths.
It's pretty easy to fix depending on what software you have.
For example Abode make a free lens profile creation tool that can be used with Lightroom and Photoshop.
You can fairly quickly create a profile for the camera and Lightroom and Photshop will then automatically apply the correction.
From memory there is a lens profile available on the forum for either the SX230 or SX220 (which has the same lens).

I have noticed that a RAW file  has 12,3M-Pixel and cropped JPG-file with 12M-Pixel is calculated only from about 8M-Pixel with focal length 5mm :o

Hiya,

I finally got a free evening to look at the ISO400 bug. I think I managed to crack it, not sure what else I have broken in the meantime ( I kind of wish I have made a backup copy of the source at Beta04, as I cant remember what changes I have made since then )

Sorry for taking so long I have been quite busy and I was origionally only going to spend a four day weekend on this project..

As always use at your own risk
CHDK sx230 firmware version 1.01A
Diskboot.bin   -   http://www.box.net/shared/upb0772a7o5evde4cghx
PS.FI2   -  http://www.box.net/shared/dms1thh7r325pry8d8fo

Is it me or on this version the keyboard feel a lot less responsive?

I would offer to help with the 1.01B but am too busy. If anyone wants any pointers feel free to PM me.

Let me know how it fares,

Taliesin

Hi taliesin and thanks for your work.
Have you looked into the .jpg compression bug yet?
I've been mostly using chdk for bracketing photos and no matter which quality settings i choose, the file comes out rathers small in filesize.
For eg. same pic without chdk is around 5MB and with chdk its 2.5MB, so the quality is a bit low. Compression seems to be normal or below always.

Cheers.
