S5IS

From CHDK Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The S5IS uses DryOS instead of vxWorks. As of 2008-04-07, CHDK works on the S5IS (1.01b).

Notes:

  • The S5 lacks an intervalometer, even though the S1, S2, and S3 have one. The closest thing it has natively is a "custom timer" -- a timer that will take multiple photos. Use a CHDK intervalometer script to add this feature.
  • RAW samples have been submitted to rawsamples.ch and are also available for direct download [1]. UFRaw does not support S5 yet, but dcraw (upon which it is based) apparently does.

[edit] Firmware 1.01A

[edit] Installation

S5IS CHDK does not have PS.FIR, so you'll have to follow these steps:

  • Make sure your card is 4 GB or less. Bigger cards require FAT 32, which requires some extra-special steps.
  • Format your card as FAT 16.
  • Make the card bootable using the instructions for your operating system.
  • Create the MISC and DCIM folders.
  • Drop the latest DISKBOOT.bin onto the card.
  • Lock the card using its switch.
  • Insert the card into your camera.

[edit] Specifications

[edit] Native

  • Aperture: F2.7 to F8.0
  • Shutter speed: 15 to 1/3200
  • The manual states that a single continuous video can be up to 4 GB or 1 hour, whichever comes first.

[edit] Added by CHDK

  • f2.7 to f11 (anything above f11 reported not to work).
  • shutter from 65 seconds to 1/33333 seconds.

[edit] Developer notes

[edit] Firmware versions

As in the A610 case, the ver.req file works as well in this model.

Presumably, the "NT" in the upper block refers to "NTSC", because a camera bought in Europe (see below) had "PAL" in the same location.

[edit] 1.01A

Upper block:

Canon PowerShot S5 IS
P-ID:3148  NT D

Lower block:

Firmware Ver GM1.01A
No error
May 29 2007    18:17:20

Pressing DISP twice more (still holding SET) returns this additional block:

Adj Ver.007.000
IS Firm Ver.  3.00
IS Param Ver.  3.00

A copy of the 1.01A firmware dump (from 0xff810000) for the camera listed above (dumped via blinking the AF led) is available here.

[edit] 1.01B

Another version has this lower block:

Firmware Ver GM1.01B
No error
Jun 14 2007    16:12:20

The upper block and additional text are the same as with 1.01A, though. (Timestamp changes, of course.)

A copy of the 1.01B firmware dump is available here (md5: 63f211fe670b185e48b3062aefd789ca).

Another camera with 1.01B (American-bought) returned a timestamp of Jun 14 2007 20:11:19. Note that this is the same timestamp as the European one below.

Another version bought at Amazon in Germany (Made in Japan):

Canon PowerShot S5 IS
