Much of the information on this page is old & obsolete. The use of the STICK utility to configure CHDK for your SD card is recommended over the method described on this page.

This guide was based off the canon powershot s100.

It might work for other cameras but,

if it does not work for your camera visit

Prepare your SD card for more help and info.

Step 1

Download and run camera version 1.3 to get camera version.
