  • This section is in a scrolling pane for a long time now, there is no need to edit it for brevity anymore.

Not to mention all the valuable links that are getting lost when editing this section. (to the editor that is truncating this section: remove this comment after you have read it)

  • FAQ / Instructions - Lots of good stuff here. (Installation Instruction,Supported Camera Models,Troubleshooting etc.)
  • Firmware Usage - The main CHDK Manual, explaining all the original features.
  • Allbest Firmware Usage - The new Allbest CHDK builds required a whole new page added to explain the vast array of new features. This is the HELP section. (a work in progress, please help!)

Forum Discussions

Got a problem or a question? Please check the FAQ first, but if you're still stumped, try one of these forums. Note: The new CHDK Forum is the most active of the English forums. Dpreview's forum used to be used most in the past. There you'll find the most extensive (English) history of CHDK's development. An active CHDK thread usually still exists at dpreview (thanks, 'zdravko'!) but the dpreview discussions are rapidly losing favor to the new CHDK Forum.
