What camera models are supported by the CHDK program?

Take a look here: http://mighty-hoernsche.de/ These are the official supported cameras.

How do I get CHDK onto my camera's SD memory card?.

The easiest way is to install the software using the tool CardTricks. The latest version is available here: http://drop.io/chdksoft



First of all format an SD memory card with the tool and make it bootable. Then  download the firmware that matches your camera and version by pressing "Download CHDK" and write it to the SD-card by clicking "CHDK -> Card ". Activite write protection on the SD-card (the little plastic switch on the side of the SD card). In this case it protects the SD card is not against writing, but it shows the camera that it should boot the firmware from the card.

How can I get the original firmware version number of my camera?

Very often there are several CHDK versions for different firmware versions of the same camera model. Open Card Tricks and start it. Select card, click Format as FAT: done. Press the set + disp. buttons together (press set first, hold it down, then press disp). You will see a string like Firmware Ver GM1.00E. The 1.00E part is the firmware version.
