Influenced from/ Based on russian developer GrAnd,

CHDK is an open source software project that can be loaded on cameras using Canon's DIGIC II or DIGIC III firmware platforms. It unleashes new features including RAW file format, live histogram display, a battery readout, and the ability to run scripted actions on a camera.

The Software Kit does not replace your original firmware, so you can every time uninstall/undo it.

The Kit (only 3 files: 'DISKBOOT.BIN', 'PS.FIR' and a language pack 'english.lng') will be stored on the root of your sd card.


I pimped my Canon IXUS 70/SD1000 with allbest-ixus70_sd1000-101b-49.zip and got a lot of new features.
