This is short-cut for PowerShot SX230HS users. I got this informations from Canon Hack Development Kit site.

First of all you have to check your firmware version. Jut put an empty ver.req or vers.req file on your SD card. I've put both. Then press the func set+disp. buttons together (i.e. press set first, keep holding it down, then press disp.)

You will see something like Firmware Ver GM1.01C (in my case). The 1.01C is firmware version.

Now go to CHDK Download page and get proper file. In my case sx230hs-101c-1.4.1-4691-full.zip.

Unzip this file to your SD card and place back to camera.

Now follow the instruction:

  1. Power up camera using Playback button.
  2. Press Menu
  3. Select Firmware update
  4. Accept update by pressing OK (don't worry it will be "reverted" when you power off camera ;-)

That's all! Now you can even write your own script to camera (or use some examples).

Just my blog...
