Dark Frame Subtraction
« on: 07 / January / 2013, 10:11:07 »

I notice on my S95 that the canon dark frame noise reduction (I assume it is this) can not be switched off, the following represents my observations:

* take a 15 sec canon RAW exposure and the camera sits there with a busy message for another 15 sec.
* take a 15 sec canon JPEG only and the same occurs, ie 15 + 15 sec

I have CHDK dark frame switched off, but this doesn't. Seem to do anything.

Can someone throw any light on this and whether the S95 dark frame taking, which I assume occurs on exposure over 1 sec, can be switched off fully.

I am interested in solving this as I take a lot of brackets and I would like to speed things up.

Cheers

If so,  then that's a bug in the S95 port.   FWIW .. its usually better to post this sort of camera specific question directly in the porting thread for that camera.

Sorry I didn't know there was such an area and can't seem to find it.

@pigeonhill

Can you try with CHDK RAW (instead of CANON RAW) ? AFAIK this feature only works with CHDK RAW enabled.

I can confirm the I see the same whether I have Canon JPEG set with or without CHDK RAW enabled and with or without subtract enabled.

S95 Porting Thread

The address used for 'nrflag' in capt_seq.c for the S95 does not match the address found by finsig_dryos (reported in stubs_entry.S). The sig finder also suggests that '#define NR_AUTO (0)' needs to be added to capt_seq.c for this camera.

If no-one beats me to it I'll build a test version tonight using the sig finder address.

I'm pretty sure it that you can use this to disable dark frame for JPG's even if RAW is not enabled.

Update :  tested on my G10.  Works without RAW enabled to disable dark frame correct.

Also works on my G11..

As said by philmoz looks like the S95 code is broken.
