By the way…the both pieces part is a joke….and this video was made when the firmware was first in beta and you had to be brave to try it. Do a search and find out how many people own 5d’s and t2i’s and you will find that no one has any problems that aren’t solved by shutting the camera off and pulling the battery.

“Breaking the camera is not an issue. There is nothing permanent about this “firmware” it latches on the side of the Canon firmware and needs to be loaded every time you boot the camera, however you can set it to auto load. The actual files reside on your CF card and can be trashed in case you need work done
I’ve been using it for about 2 years and it hasn’t failed me yet. Im currently using FW 2.0.9 from Canon and loading AJ5.9 on top of it. This release is very stable compared to the older versions and i hear that 2 major releases are going to be merging….so it can only get better. If they stop distributing it…I have multiple copies. They wont stop me from using it.

Since Canon has released the sdk, it should be possible to do a real update.

And it would be nice to see the ability to use iso50 in video mode, basically a 1 stop ND filter. By the way I know nothing about the canon firmware so great job doing what you already have.

Does this firmware affect the photo portion of the camera? And will it apply on top of any canon firmware or only work with one version?

@brad neah they usually don’t do that..there was someone at luminous landcaspe that stated that he got a response that suggested that scripts are allowed and they did fix his camera for free(non chdk related problem) ..for them this is free research that they can benefit from..otherwise they would have closed the digic platform via firmware or hardware by now

This looks like a very clever and well thoughtout firmware and I can only see this getting ‘bigger and better’ as time goes on.

“If it breaks your camera, you get to keep both pieces…”

Yeah, now I’m not gonna use it.
