Title: Canon Firmware Hacks for Digic II processor Post by: botok on January 10, 2008, 11:49:04 PM Kebetulan pulak tengah cerita pasal point and shoot camera saya ni takleh nak off noise reduction, guess what have i found... a firmware hack for selected Canon point and shoot camera... and the good news is the firmware is not a permanent hack (which is quite scary if you ever experienced a firmware update crash before... botak kepala tarik rambut nanti) but you can load it into your SD card and you can choose to up the hacked firmware or original one.
Quote CHDK is a firmware enhancement that operates on a number of Canon Cameras. CHDK gets loaded into your camera's memory upon bootup (either manually or automatically). It provides additional functionality beyond that currently provided by the native camera firmware. CHDK is not a permanent firmware upgrade: you decide how it is loaded (manually or automatically) and you can always easily remove it. Please see the FAQ and the Firmware Usage page, as well as other pages on this wiki, for more specifics on supported cameras, details of features, scripting, downloading, etc. A sampling of those additional features/functionality. Main features: * Save images in RAW format * Ability to run "Scripts" to automate the camera * Live histogram (RGB, blended, luminance and for each RGB channel) * Zebra mode (blinking highlights and shadows to show over/under exposed areas) * An "always on" full range Battery indicator * Ability to turn off automatic dark-frame subtraction * a higher compression movie mode, and double the maximum video file size * exposure times as long as 65 seconds * exposure times as little as 1/10,000 of a second * ability to use the USB port for a remote trigger input Additional features: * a depth-of-field (DOF)-calculator * File browser * Text reader * Calendar * Some fun tools and games Why would I want to use CHDK? * To get Raw file capability on cameras that don't have that ability * To get the ability to use scripts * to be able to know the battery status at all times (not just when it's about to run out of power) * you want or need any of the other enhancement features that CHDK provides Wow... features in bold tu, very yummy. Gonna try it and update u guys later. Check if your camera is supported http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Downloads and the main webpage http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page all the hack features that are currently available http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_firmware_usage Disclaimer: Saya tak cuba lagi jadi saya tak tahu how hard the process is, maybe u need a bit of programming experience, a bit of Linux command know-how (to compile) etc etc. Saya tak bertanggungjawab jika kamera anda render useless by trying this hack. Title: Re: Canon Firmware Hacks for Digic II processor Post by: botok on January 10, 2008, 11:55:53 PM Saya alih perbincangan berkenaan dengan firmware hacks untuk kamera Canon yang guna Digic II processor dekat sini kerana rasanya lebih sesuai, takde nak hijack topik lain.
Saya dah cuba hack tersebut dan memang harmless kerana firmware upgrade tidak load secara permanent kedalam cip tetapi load temporary melalui memory card. So memang quite harmless. Features memang banyak dan endless should i say, pasal boleh buat script menggunakan uBASIC so it's up to your imagination and creativity. Walaupun uBASIC is not a full-blown programming language tapi memadai dan padan dengan keupayaan Digic II processor :) nak lagi laju taruk Intel Core 2 Duo la ganti Digic II tu :P Jadi keputusannya, ianya selamat untuk digunakan. :) Title: Re: Canon Firmware Hacks for Digic II processor Post by: botok on January 11, 2008, 12:03:21 AM Saya tak tahu build mana yang wilsontie guna? Saya guna build allbest (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,102.0.html (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,102.0.html)) yang sekarang dikira build yang paling lengkap semua features kecuali stereo data features jer belum porting masuk dalam build. ya i also use allbest for S3 IS. but i cant find "Extra Photo Operations kemudian Override shutter speed" in my main menu. My main menu are like this:Kalau u guna allbest, pergi ke menu dan pilih Extra Photo Operations kemudian Override shutter speed. Cara penggunaan menggunakan faktor. Contoh kalau u tengok under Extra Photo Operations menu Quote Override shutter speeds [ 1] yang di atas nilai shutter speed = 10 saat. (shutter speed) 1 x (value factor) 10 = 10 saat.Value factor [ 10] Quote Override shutter speeds [ 6] ini untuk setting kepada 60 saat.Value factor [ 10] Ingat, keluar dari menu dan set kan kamera kepada manual atau shutter priority kemudian shoot. Buat masa ni keupayaan shutter speed adalah antara 1/65,000 saat hingga 65 saat. Tunggu nanti mesti ada programmer decode firmware lebih mendalam mesti jumpa lagi tinggi. Tapi pendapat saya, dah sampai limit kamera dah tu. :) -RAW parameters -OSD parameters -Histogram parameters -Zebra parameters -Scripting parameters -Visual settings -Misc. stuff -Debug parameters -Reset option to default so, how ar? i dont know which option i need to activate i go through the website already...but still cant catch it hope that u can help me to figure out...thanks!!! Wilsontie, mungkin 'raw' release of allbest build untuk S3IS memang tak ada features untuk control shutter speed tu... tak boleh nak confirm pasal saya tak ada S3IS. pada 570IS saya, kedua-duanya berjalan dengan baik dan semua features ada. Wilsontie boleh try cuba variant kepada allbest build dari http://hem.passagen.se/fsmmal/chdk2.html (http://hem.passagen.se/fsmmal/chdk2.html) ada kat bahagian bawah2 laman web. Khabarnya dia dah tambah berbagai features. Title: Re: Canon Firmware Hacks for Digic II processor Post by: wilsontie on January 11, 2008, 09:18:50 AM Saya tak tahu build mana yang wilsontie guna?

Sungguh menarik . . .
