I take pictures of the kids sports at school and the iso I get standard is at best blurry on the good action shots. Do you put it on every memory card and then lose it everytime you take the battery out to charge??? The local paper's photog had a 3200 iso camera and the paper's pictures rock ...daily!!! Anyone have simple directions for a not so technologically advanced mom? Thanks..:) I wish I was able to follow this CHDK stuff to make my EOS XTi have 3200 iso.

The override shutter speed does not work for me. My shutter speed becomes SLOWER when I use the hack. There's no way to do those super fast shutter speed shots of water droplets that are shown. I give up. I echo what was said above. The override shutter speed does not work for me. My shutter speed becomes SLOWER when I use the hack.

I am attempting to do the same i.e. attempt a Matrix-style bullet-time with multiple chdk cameras. Can you send me an email - amish153 at hotmail dot com ?

However, sadly the kodak z700 only allows shutter speeds from 8 sec to 1/1000sec I wish i could change the firmware by editing it somehow, to allow me to set shutter speeds as much as 30-40 seconds ... as otherwise, the camera will be useless as an eyepiece for a telescope... Kindly help , I am willing to take a risk by editing the camera firmware so as to allow it to capture loooong shutter speeds :) Please! I am desperate ! hi

CHDK can use scripts to have an electrical signal through the USB connection trigger the shutter. This approach could, I guess, be scaled up to a bank of cameras. If you search the web for terms such as CHDK and remote control, you can find some details. markus,

Sorry, I´m german, may english is not the very best. I´ve got a question/suggestion to create the possibility of making own "bullet-Time-Movies": Is there any hack/possibility to connect several cameras (e.g. 32) and take 1 picture with each camera at the same time (e.g. via "remote capture")? The Result has to be 32 images of an objekt, taken at the same time, so that you can move arround the objekt, while "time ist standing still". You know the Effect from Matrix. Here is an example of this effekt, made with very expensive Cameras. I hope, it should also work with low-cost cameras. http://www.colorshots.com/smart_colorshots.mov Can anybody help me?

I had heard about this program but haven't had time to read all the documentation, 5 minutes after reading this article I was running scripts on my camera and taking cool pics of dripping water at 1/16000 shutter speed. I can now do some really cool stuff with my cheapie Canon point & shoot digicam! Thanks for a fantastic article.
