i have the chdk auto load on my sx40. But tomshoot each time means pressing the spare function button and then the shutter button. is there anyway to have it go straight to ready to shoot?

Hi meanducando, welcome to the forum !

Press and hold the on/off button until you see the CHDK logo ( ~ 1 sec) when starting your camera.

hope that helps,

thanks but i dont get the logo. Just the splashscreen. Holding the on/off button for as long as i care too doesnt make any difference. So giess i need to know why im not seeing a logo. I get the normal camera logo then it boots to the alt playback screen.

You mean you start in ALT mode? The "ALT" string is displayed on the bottom of the screen?

It's a guess but maybe you have set some script to run at start...? Camera shouldn't start in ALT mode in any way, the script autostart is the only exception that comes to my mind.

That usually means you have not put all the CHDK files onto your SD card - just the diskboot.bin. You need to download and unzip the full package to your SD card.
