Phil, yes I can shoot JPEG with CHDK loaded.
I found a few things.
The attached version should fix the histogram.
Not sure about the badpixel.bin creation.
If the badpixel creation still fails try creating an empty badpixel.bin file manually in the CHDK directory on the SD card. Then see if you can shoot DNG files. It's also best to set the option to save the raw/dng files in the same directory as the jpeg files.
Phil.
Hi Phil
I'm newbie to Canon, CHDK, and this forum... so first I would like to thank you all for everything you've done\still doing
I downloaded your built for my camera's firmware (1.00i)... May I ask how far are we from a beta version? also I would like to offer my help in anything you need for making a beta or final version.
My report: most of the features (I haven't tried all) of CHDK are working except:
1) the OSD :s
There’s a problem in the ODS display that causes it to disappear in the following scenario:
Take a picture, then erase it with the erase button. When you get back to record mode the OSD is gone.
The fastest way to get it back is to go to play mode, then again to record mode.
Also the OSD flickers sometimes and Canon's default histogram appear on top of the CHDK OSD.
But this might be the normal behavior of CHDK since after all... it's a hack
2) both games and curves are not available
3) both using the screen as flashlight, and using the zoom lever as a manual focus didn't work.
4) Raw in-camera developing is not working. Only the top section of the jpg is developed with the lower part actually captured live from the lens... resulting in wired looking jpgs
5) I used an USB charger to deliver 5v current to be used as a remote control trigger. The camera does detect the input... but this feature is crippled when 'synchable remote' is enabled because:
- When the camera is set on continues mode... it keeps taking picturessss no matter what you do.... I mean whither you cut the electric current or not.
- When the camera is set on normal mode. The remote function works but the screen goes black as soon as the camera locks focus... and it remains black till the shot is taken. Tried "LCD always on", didn't help.
6) Once by mistake I sat the ISO at a high number (around 7000 real iso) which made the camera goes mad... freeze for a couple of seconds... and then shutdown... haven't tried it again to verify it
Regarding the problem posted by davemt, I tried it and I confirm the highest possible ISO in burst mode is 930. In general, I noticed that the camera needs longer time in higher ISOs, so I bet this's the reason behind the error. I mean since *speed* is essential in burst mode, higher ISOs must be disabled or unavoidably cause problems.
I'm considering writing a script to switch the camera to record mode and add it to the autostart so I don't have to long-press the power button... what do you think?
Now it is true that I'm a newbie but I have a background in programming Java Script, ActionScript, PHP, and Visual Basic... I'm not professional in any of them though. But If there's anything I can help with just let me know.
