Hello everyone.. :) I just joind the forum.
I have a G10 and have installed CHDK successfully! :lol :lol
I was worried but it was easy!
Thank you to the developers who took the time to bring the G10 into the mix.

Any one out there with the G10 ?

the issue I am having right now is using the intervalometer and the lack of Zoom function while I do.
the intervalometer works better than expected..i have used a couple different ones.
the lack of zoom... :(
I am scouring the forum today for an answer....anyone know what to do???
I'll keep reading...its here somewhere...


thank you again and hello...

What did you have in mind for zoom functionality?   Unlike some other cameras,  zoom via CHDK scripting works really well with the G10.  You need to explain a bit more about what you are looking for here.

So what stops you from doing that with the zoom lever ?  (Note : you could also add a single code line to your intervalometer script to run the lens all the way out if that's what you want to do instead.)

Wow - considering your application, you picked one of the heaviest Canon P&S cameras possible.

zoom lever ?  I can zoom normally, set it where I want: but when I start the script it defaults back to the most wide angle position.... while the script is running, the zoom lever ?? does not function normally.

I wanted a camera that shot RAW :haha (before I knew about CHDK)
I do like it....Solid!

could you give me a sample of the code that might work, where to insert it?

Strange - I'll check that out tomorrow.

Post your script here (or a link to the one you are using).  I'll update and send it back to you.

I am such a dummy...Waterwingz please forgive me....

I was looking for info everywhere and found what I needed on the KAP forum.


"....So just to recap, if I understand correctly, I set the camera up like I want it while in normal (non - CHDK) mode - (shutter priority at 1/500 sec, normal focal length, etc). I then switch to alt. While in shooting mode, I press the shutter to begin interval shooting, and it should begin...."

Well that did it allright!!!! :)

Thank you for putting up with me.
