CHDK Firmware for Canon Powershot cameras · Mar 14, 02:29 PM by Simon Mackie
If you have a Powershot camera, check out the CHDK firmware enhancement. Check out the list of cool enhancements you get:
- 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
Amazing stuff! As it’s loaded when the camera boots from the memory card, no permanent changes are made to the camera so you can get back to standard any time you like.
