Porting Process

Porting is finished now [100%]
Nevertheless see known bugs.

Discussion and download forum is available for the development of porting at SX110IS - howto start porting

Hints

Auto-ISO-Shift: General bug if <ALT> = Print. Fix: Change <ALT>-key to <Face>
Auto Focus in Video Mode: Can't work automatically. Fix: Configure an option "AF key" in Video parameters. This AF key triggers a AF scan while recording.
If Video Quality is set too high for your SD card = crash. Fix: Simply choose lower Quality or buy a better SD card
For RAW/DNG stuff see this thread: SX110 color calibration and Dng4psSetWB utility
For Motion Detection use this script: Fast MD with burst/preview mode Install instruction: HowTo also read Readme!
