CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit) enhances the capabilities of Canon Powershot cameras in a non-destructive, non-permanent way.
It features:
- Professional control – RAW files, bracketing, full manual control over exposure, Zebra-Mode, Live histogram, Grids, etc.
- Motion detection – Trigger exposure in response to motion, fast enough to catch lightning.
- USB remote – Simple DIY remote allows you to control your camera remotely – I really do have to make my own USB Remote Cable
- Scripting – Control CHDK and camera features using UBASIC and Lua scripts. Enables time lapse, motion detection, advanced bracketing, and much more.
There’s lots more info about CDHK at the FAQ.
I installed CHDK on my IXUS 860IS (Powershot SD870IS in the US) a while back though I’ve been using precious little of its functionality.
