Re: iso help firmware update Canon G9 (2007)

Wow!  This is such a great reply, because it is so relevant to my situation.  I am indeed using CHDK, and also I am using a Mac to put the firmware file on the SD card.  I will read the resources you have given and try again.

My backstory: I am using several G9's in a stereoscopic timelapse project.  I am trying to prepare some back up cameras, for when (note: I don't expect an "if") my original camera(s) fail.  They've already got close to a half million shutter actuations on them...

When I recently got a backup G9, I loaded the SD card with the CHDK on it, and the camera would not run properly.  My guess is that the firmware is not the same as with the original cameras, and not playing nice with CHDK.

THanks again!

Boris
