I use it on my S5IS. I have a feeling that it reduces battery life, although they swear it doesn't and it is true I don't really see why it would. It is also so rich that I refrain from using the possibilities because it takes so much time exploring the menus to find what is there. But there are a few features which I really like so that I keep it, especially the zebra mode, and the ability to chose what information is displayed on the screen. Also, it is easy to revert back to the Canon standard ROM : just switch the SD lock and voilà! I don't use it for bracketing simply because my S5IS already has it in the standard menus, but there are special bracketing modes which I never use: focus bracketing and ISO bracketing. Now that I think of it, I should use ISO bracketing sometimes... This is just an illustration of the main problem with CHDK: so many features that you easily miss interesting ones. -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
