Update?
maybe someone can make an updated version? and other releases like albest or so.. would be nice =)
There's a brand new A530 port (albest) and the guys are working on the same problems that the A540 port has (e.g. video). Some programmer (manager) who is willing to merge? GerhardSchneider 18:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Success!
Loaded without problems. dng2ps accepted the raw files as PowerShot3IS (as expected).
A very small glitch: Z in the display shows 35-104 (camera is 4x Zoom)
Test result:
Also loaded on my A540 although my firmware is 1.00A.
Tested to work: - Raw picture file - Games, calendar, etc.
But there are problems (maybe due to difference in my firmware version? I don't know): - Normal mode (non Alt) turns white screen (sometimes, cause unknown yet) - Video compression don't work (as expected)
Does the "make bootable" work for you? My camera doesn't power on when the SD card is locked, working normally when unlocked.
All that I need now is the video compression capability. Hope someone can make it work.
Make bootable don't work.
A build with motion detection would be cool.
long time exposure faulty with chdk firmware on A540
found the following 'problem' when shooting with A540 and chdk firmware. go to an absolute dark room (or cover the lens completely). make a shot with i.e. iso 200, 15 seconds in manual mode. the resulting pictures (jpg and raw) will have a low noise level, but also lot's of coloured (mostly pure red blue and green) and rather bright pixels in clusters of usually 1-4. it almost looks like they were drawn into the picture. not like any noise I have seen before. found the problem when shooting a night sky and everything was covered with these fake stars, even the shadows. still comes up even when using ISO 80.
shooting with same settings but without chdk firmware does not produce ANY coloured pixels and only very low totally normal noise.
