How can I make the CHDK program load automatically at startup?
Note: Unfortunately, autoload does not work with FAT32-formatted SD-cards. This means that cards up to and including 2 GB will work, cards larger than 2 GB won’t (except 4 GB with non-standard FAT16 format, see Note2). If your model has multi-partition support, you may be able to use larger cards through the use of a small boot partition. More detailed information can be found at Bootable_SD_card You will have to write-protect your SD card everytime you want to use CHDK, but this will still allow you to take pictures. A. You have to do the following actions: • Copy the files PS.fir and DISKBOOT.bin into the root folder of your SD card (if you have not already done so). • Load the CHDK program as described above. • Enter
