Latest revision as of 00:47, February 15, 2013
The Powershot SX260 HS is the successor to the SX230 HS.
Alpha CHDK builds are available for the SX260 HS firmware versions 1.00B, 1.00C and 1.01A from the Download page
The Canon SX260 HS has at least 5 different palettes , 4 for the common record, playback, menu and set menu contexts, and a separate one for the Live mode set menu.
In PASM modes, most likely to be used by CHDK users, there are some common OSD elements shown in the image here. Note that most of the elements lay on an outer 'ring' which may interfere with CHDK OSD element display. The date/time stamp, digital zoom and GPS options lay a bit inside, but the former two are also likely not used by CHDK users.
CHDK RAW (and also DNG) files are not created correctly when the camera is in AUTO mode; if you want to store RAW or DNG images, use the camera's M mode. Fe50 (talk) 20:39, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
When using the firmware update method to load CHDK, the storage can be formatted as exFAT and CHDK will be able to write images to it. Video recording to exFAT using CHDK has not been tested.
First, enable control by writing 0x46 to the following addresses:
0xC022C200 <-- Required for AF Beam control to work
0xC0223000 <-- Required for I/O LED control to work
0xC0223070 <-- Required for I/O LED control to work
after doing this, these are the on/off addresses:
0xC0223030 <-- AF Beam
0xC022C028 <-- I/O LED
Write 0x46 to light the LED, 0xCF to turn it off.
Writing 0x44 will turn off the AF beam, but it won't turn off the I/O LED. 0xCF works for both.
