CHDK, Hack it

Posted by iShoot - 15/05/08

” 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” Go there

On Alert

What is cool about the hack is that it doesn’t permanently replace your firmware so you can roll back whenever you want, it can even run of an SD card. Exciting isnt it? Just imagine that your little Point-and-Shoot is suddenly capable of taking RAW images? or adding some functionalities that exist only in upper level cameras, and all for free. Yeah, just like free beer. It is an open source project.
