Процесс прошивки

Шаг 1.

Проверка аккумулятора. Лучше не смотреть на показания индикатора на дисплее камеры. Желательно поставить аккумулятор на зарядку, даже если фотоаппарат показывает полный заряд. Индикатор может показывать ошибочную информацию. Если аккумулятор долго не заряжался, попробуйте сделать несколько снимков. Скорее всего, заряд сразу упадет минимум до половины.

Шаг 2.

Подготовка карты памяти. Существует рекомендация не использовать карты памяти большого объема. Это не строгое требование, но всё же лучше придерживаться его. Можно воспользоваться какой-нибудь старой карточкой. Хватит даже 512 мегабайт. Её нужно вставить в фотоаппарат и отформатировать. Форматировать нужно именно в фотоаппарате.

Шаг 3.

Далее нужно скачать обновление ПО. Если зайти на российский сайт Canon, он отправит вас на Европейский сайт. Там можно найти все обновления. Иногда лучше воспользоваться американским сайтом. На странице обновления нужно выбрать модель своего фотоаппарата. Далее нужно выбрать операционную систему, которая установлена на компьютере. Затем появляется список прошивок. Первыми идут «firmware update». Нужно согласиться на все. Скачиваем обновления на компьютер.

Теперь нужно проверить, какая версия ПО установлена на фотоаппарате (хотя это можно было сделать раньше). В меню настроек есть строка Встроенное ПО вер. Х.Х.Х. Если камера не русифицирована, будет написано Firmware Ver. X.X.X.

Шаг 4.

Подготовка новой версии. Прошивка скачается в архиве. Его нужно распаковать на компьютере. Описание каждой версии ПО на сайте компании Canon имеется указание точного размера файла прошивки. Нужно открыть свойства скачанного файла прошивки и сверить размер файла со значением, указанным на сайте компании. Если размеры отличаются, ставить это обновление нельзя. Скорее всего, оно повреждено. Нужно попробовать скачать еще раз.

Если всё нормально, вставляем карту памяти в карт-ридер и копируем на на нее файл. Этот файл должен быть помещен в коревую директорию карты памяти. Вынимая карту памяти из компьютера лучше воспользоваться функцией Safely Remove Hardware/Безопасное извлечение устройства.

Шаг 5.

Далее вставляем в фотоаппарат карту памяти, на которую загружена новая версия ПО. На фотоаппарате нужно установить режим P, Av или Tv и включить устройство. Заходим в меню фотоаппарата, находим строку с версией ПО и нажимаем кнопку SET. Должен появиться экран обновления прошивки. На этом этапе нужно подтвердить, что вы желаете обновить камеру. Фотоаппарат загрузит новую версию файла прошивки и еще раз спросит подтверждение на обновление. Начинается установка нового ПО. Нужно аккуратно положить фотоаппарат на стол и не трогать его, чтобы случайно не нажать на какую-нибудь кнопку. После завершения процесса обновления фотоаппарат еще раз спросит подтверждение обновления. Соглашаемся, выключаем камеру после завершения всех действий и вынимаем карту памяти.

Старые модели Canon EOS, такие как Canon EOS300D, 350D, перед тем как включиться должны немного полежать без аккумулятора. Его нужно вытащить и через несколько секунд вставить. тогда система перезагрузится и нормально заработает. С новыми моделями такие манипуляции проделывать не нужно.

В процессе обновления прошивки фотоаппарата ничего сложного нет. Для каждой камеры Canon на сайте есть PDF-файл с подробной инструкцией процесса обновления ПО.

What’s the best version(build)?Edit

There’s no such thing as a best version. There’s only the best version for you. CHDK versions are like a suit, if it fits, feels comfortable and you are happy with it:
— That’s the best suit!
— But if this is your first suit and your unsure of what you need, you should click here and at the top of that page click on the link that says «CHDK Autobuild Downloads». At this time (2008 10 27) many of the great innovations are included in it and it has all the features a newbie needs and then some.

Why they exist?Edit

Each little genius here thinks in his/her particular way — and desires different things too. So, they take the core of CHDK and change it to fit his/her particular needs or ideas. They are all like sculptors that take wood and shape it like they want to. Because they aren’t greedy, they share their efforts with everybody in the forum threads or wikia postings.
Besides that, there is a group of members that works at maintaining the core/wood of CHDK, like GrAnd, cail, EWAVR, Fingalo, Allbest, jeff666, nirschi, DataGhost and a lot of other remarkable members. Along with them other sharp minds work in related tasks.
Remembering that it all started, years ago, with a one man only task, done by the mysterious Vitaly.

Сердцем любой цифровой мыльницы является матрица и процессор, поэтому, как только выходит следующая модель камеры с матрицей нового поколения и более мощным процессором, старый фотоаппарат начинает резко сдавать позиции. Три-четыре новых модели — и старая камера уже кажется неудобной во всех отношениях: разрешение съемки недостаточное, камера не поддерживает запись видео в HD-качестве и так далее.Несмотря на то, что угнаться за самыми последними новинками невозможно в принципе, существует довольно любопытный способ «затормозить старение» камеры, а то и вовсе дать ей вторую жизнь.

Problems Searching and PostingEdit

— It doesn’t work!At this moment some people have difficulty with staying calm and reviewing their previous steps, looking for simple mistakes. If you do so and still can’t make it work, I suggest a few steps for you to follow.

SearchingEdit

It is very likely that you’re not the first person with this particular problem. So, start searching for others with the same problem, and you are likely to find solutions and advice.

Here on CHDK wikia: The search bar is in the top left of this page.

Try searching from general to specific. Stop narrowing when your results become easily browseable.

Ex.:
Let’s say you have problems working with RAW. First try

• RAW -> You’ll get a lot of info about it! But your problem is to get the RAW from the camera to your computer.
• RAW download -> But hey, you’re a Windows user, so…
• RAW download explorer -> Now pick some and see if it fits.

Some times you have to limit your search with a minus (-) sign to exclude some words.
Ex.:
You’re having color problems in your pictures. So if you do the bottom search

• color -> You’ll have too much. Your problem is about JPG color problems, not RAW.
• color JPG -> But RAW references keep coming.
• color JPG -RAW -> now you get more suitable results.

Caution: The search function in the CHDK wikia (this site) needs at least 4 chars in search expression !

PostingEdit

— Still doesn’t work!

1. Be careful in choosing the correct section/subsection. If you have specific problems dealing with CHDK, this isn’t exactly a developer matter. So, don’t post at CHDK Development, go Using CHDK/General Help and Assistance on using CHDK stable releases.
2. Put a short descriptive title in your thread.HELP HERE! or SOME AID!! or I’M DESPERATE!!!usually don’t receive good feedbacks.
3. Describe your problem as accurately as possible.
4. List at least:
   1. Camera model and firmware version
   2. CHDK brand and version
   3. Operating system
   4. Card size and brand
5. Wait.There is no Help Desk service. You have to count on the goodwill of other CHDK users like you.
6. Don’t beg for urgent help. But don’t give up. Check answers on a daily basis.
7. After someone answers you, reply and say if the proposed solution worked or not, and why. This will help others searching for answers in the future!
8. Thank the person who helped you!
9. Be polite and friendly, don’t argue with others trying to help, it’s a waste of your time.
10. And when you know and can, help others.

Is there a manual?Edit

Yes. This wiki contains the CHDK User Manual

• To get started, there is also the One Page Ultra-Quick Users Guide (with PDF version)
• If you are an offline kinda guy, you’ll appreciate the CHDK User Quick Start Guide. It reflects all the latest changes of CHDK with updated content and images, in .pdf format, in A4 and Booklet versions.

Identifying Applicable Cameras for the Firmware Update and Software Download

You can check if the firmware update and Digital Photo Professional download are applicable to your camera by following the How to Set RAW as the Recording Pixels below. The firmware update and software download apply to products that do not include RAW as the recording pixels.

How to Set RAW as the Recording Pixels:

Set the mode dial to Creative zone (P,Tv,Av,M,C).
Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the camera.
Press the (Aspect Ratio) button and select the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Press the button.
Use the or button to select recording pixels and the or to select RAW.
Press the button.

If your camera displays as recording pixels, the firmware update is applicable. When the firmware update is completed, will be selectable as the recording pixels.
If RAW is already available in your camera, the firmware update and software download are not necessary.

Note: If an error occurs during the firmware update, the camera may stop working. Before performing the firmware update, please make sure that you read the preliminary notes carefully.

Installing CHDK-DEEdit

• German is default menu language. Start the default script for changing the language to English. Needs english.lng in subdir CHDK/LANG.
• Option #OPT_LUA_CALL_NATIVE is active

Download help:

Select a camera series, model and firmware (1.) or upload an unedited camera image for automatic detection of the firmware (2.). In case of the automatic detection the download starts in some seconds automatically.

Choose the complete or update package (3.) and download (4.) the right version.

Keeping up with Build DevelopmentsEdit

How do I know if my existing build is up to date ?

The autobuilds page will always show the latest CHDK version number. The autobuild version number typically consists of three digits. For example, the current build is 1.4.1.

In theory, these three-digit numbers reflect the following scheme:
However, in recent practice these digits very seldomadvance and even then, only after a major release.

Fortunately, CHDK downloaded from the autobuild server also include an additional four digit number that denotes source code revisions. In the example «…1.0.0-1719-full.zip,» the «1719» means this is the 1719th revision of the source code since it was created. This last number changes frequently even while the version number does not.

How can I learn what changed in a new build ?

Where can I find older builds ?

Discontinued versions of CHDK and a history of the software can be found here, here and here.

Conserved VersionsEdit

From time to time binaries from the Autobuild Server will be «conserved», so they are available when the server gets offline, you want to do tests with an older CHDK version, compare features or for bug hunting…

‘note These versions are not really «stable» in terms of bug free and bullet-proof tested 😉

StereoData MakerEdit

StereoData Maker (SDM) is a software package for Canon P&S cameras used to do stereo photography. It is based on a very early version of CHDK but no longer compatible. It includes features for kite aerial photography and digiscoping, and supports features of other builds, including MX3’s motion detection, Fingalo’s script additions, Zosim’s Video Compression and USB remote.

Canon DSLR SoftwareEdit

Other hacks exist for Canon DSLR’s to do things similar to CHDK. These hacks are not CHDK, and most of the documentation on this wiki does not apply to them.

Odd and Tricky camerasEdit

SD870IS / IXUS 860Edit

Below are some limitations with this camera:

Power up in playback mode

The camera always powers up in playback mode and shows the last captured image. To switch to record mode just press (or half press) the Shutter button.

With ‘Clock Display’ set to ‘0 sec’ in the Canon menu, the camera can be started directly in record mode with the following workaround:

→ Hold FUNC while pressing POWER, release FUNC immediately when the Canon clock display appears

OSD disappears after ~10 seconds

By default (or after a reset to the Canon standard settings) the Canon OSD symbols disappears after ~10 seconds while the camera is in record mode.

→ With the DISP button you can toggle between two states: or . The last used setting is saved for standard.

No long file names in file browser

As on all DryOS-based cameras the file names in the filebrowser are shown in 8.3 convention (old MS-DOS style), longer file names existing on the card will be shown in the corresponding short term.

Example: the file name «DefaultScript1.bas» on the SD card is shown as «DEFAUL~1.BAS» in the file browser dialog.

Some more hints:

• The display can be switched off in record mode by long-pressing the PRINT key. To set this, in the Canon menu (in record mode, menu item «Set PRINT Button…») the PRINT key should be registered to «Display Off». This can also be useful for saving battery lifetime in scripts: to shut off the display a sequenze ofpress "print"sleep 100release "print"can be used after each shot.Turning off the display this way in a script can lead to 3 times longer battery lifetime.→ Beware — this method turns off also the camera’s sensor & electronics, the MD (Motion Detection) will not work with this method!
• The short key for enable/disable RAW is Alt-DISP-Alt

SX110 & IXUS 980/SD990 Edit

Power up in playback mode

As most newer cameras (especially models with a separat play button), the camera always powers up in playback mode and shows the last captured image. To switch to record mode just press (or half press) the Shutter button.

If you hold the POWER button for ~2 seconds while powering on, the camera directly starts in record mode.

The zebra feature do not work on the IXUS 980/SD990

Ixus 750 / SD750Edit

• The OSD menus flicker on and off oddly. Disabling the «touch icons» in the camera’s settings helps somewhat.
• The CHDK bracketing feature from the Extra Photo Operations menu does not work correctly on the Ixus 750 / SD750; use a script instead.
