Canon CHDK - Manual (Page 18)

Show Remaining Videotime [ Don’t, hh:mm:ss, KB /s, both ] < Video Parameters
Displays a position-able OSD element to show the video bit-rate, and the remaining video
recording-time, on the SD card,…
• Don't - No display of remaining recording time and/or video data-rate.
• hh:mm:ss - Display a clock of remaining video-recording time left.
• KB/s - Display video recording bandwidth (data-rate) in Kilobytes per Second.
• Both - Display remaining video-recording time in both hours/mins/secs, and video
data-rate in Kilobytes per Second.
• Refresh Rate (~sec) < Video Parameters < Main Menu
Due to the nature of video's variable bit-rate and compression methods, subject dependent,
the "Show Remaining Videotime" has to be updated regularly by re-polling the card-space
and the bit-rate to calculate a fairly accurate time-remaining estimate. Choose, in seconds,
how often that you want this Video-Recording time-remaining to be updated. Shorter periods
of time are less accurate from each on-screen update to the next.
RAW Parameters
< Main Menu
Save Raw Enable [•] / Disable [ ]
Enables the saving of RAW files. Enabling RAW does not
disable JPEG, both are saved. Also required for saving DNG.
(See
Page 5 for RAW toggle shortcut button)
Note: By not allowing a camera to auto-focus, ie: pressing the
shutter all the way too fast, the camera might not save a
RAW image.
Exceptions
< Raw parameters < Main Menu
• Disable @ Video Record? Enable [•] / Disable [ ]
Some cameras, the S-Series in particular, have a dedicated "Video Record" button where you
can engage that and also shoot individual still-frames during video recording. It was found
that RAW file-saving can interfere in this process. Turning this option on will ensure that you
don't miss a shot or video.
• Disable RAW @ Sports Enable [•] / Disable [ ]
Disable RAW saving when the Mode-Dial is turned to Sports Mode. This ensures that fast
action sequences won't be missed due to RAW file-saving time, when forgetting to disengage
the RAW feature.
• Disable RAW @ Burst
Enable [•] / Disable [ ]
Disable RAW file-saving when using burst mode. Again, a handy override for when RAW is
not needed during fast burst-sequence shots (RAW enabled would certainly increase time
between shots)
• Disable RAW @ Timer Enable [•] / Disable [ ]
Disable RAW file-saving when using the camera's Custom Timer mode (similar to the safety
feature for the burst mode).
