Canon Hack Development Kit: installing scripts from Nicole Chung on Vimeo.
With the Canon Hack Development Kit, it’s easy to run scripts to shoot timelapse photography or motion-detection. There are a lot of scripts already written, so you don’t have to know how to program to run these camera effects. The only tricky thing is getting the script running. This video covers how to get the script onto your SD card.
I decided to start messing around with the Canon Hack Development Kit this week, a neat piece of software/firmware that allows you to turn your Canon Powershot into a camera that can shoot RAW format, run scripts to do timelapse photography and other sorts of stuff.
Unfortunately, my Canon Powershot A570 was already close to kicking the bucket, and it finally failed this week due to a defective battery door. So now I have no camera with which to experiment with. I’m considering purchasing a cheap A480 or A490 later on when I have more cash
In the meanwhile, you can view the screencast I made below in order to get the Canon Hack Development Kit working on your own camera…
