New camera came in!

[balrog]

very cool uses of a Canon PowerShot are available thru CHDK, the Canon Hack Development Kit

does not permanently overwrite your firmware and does NOT void any warranty, but allows you to access functions already in your camera you don't normally have access to.

allows you to shoot RAW images, override manual setting limitations, auto-bracketing, motion detection, time lapse and buttloads more

you create a bootable SD card to access these functions. to return your camera to its original state, switch SD cards and that's it.

can do some very cool things with your PowerShot, including S2 IS

I so totally agree on this, used for focus on birdhouse, take pic when bird arrives; also used CHKD for timelapse. It's freaking awesome.

Looks interesting. I saved the page to look over more later. Gotta get woke up more before I get into serious stuff.

Another problem popped up with the Canon Powershot. I set it to movie mode, but it just takes single shots when I push the shutter button? Idk if it's broke, or I'm doing some setting wrong. No camera instruction book came with it & they didn't have it when I e-mailed them?

Yeah, that's the one. Thanks man! I'll save it & see what I may be doing wrong. I hope the function isn't messed up, as the movie mode with stereo sound is the reason I bought it!
**- Just found out in the PDF instructions that I needed to press the "movie" button to the right of the viewfinder to get the movie mode turned on. Thanks again! Stereo sound is way better than the old Vivitar 5150S. But it does seem to need a lot of light, or it looks sorta grainy, like a TV signal that doesn't come in perfectly...

The movie mode is very limited by light on those older cameras, like they are equivalent to 1/30th sec shutter speed. It is always better with more light, no doubt about it.

86 posts about a new camera and no homemade porn. This thread sucks.

Getting the brewery rearranged with the addition of my new brew cart. Then new Brewvision videos will commence! Maybe this weekend I'll post some new beer porn? Wanna do a comparison between my kottbusser & barley_bob's, with a before & after shot of the brewery/man cave.
