" Wow. This episode the system has brought you buy it -- daddy -- that's what in the united states air force. Full imaging cameras are great for capturing -- force -- moments on the fly. Unfortunately they can't be limited terms of the options that functionality especially if your hardcore photographer. But if you've got a camera from Canada we've got -- re BetaNews for -- if you've got options. A little firmware hack you're gonna get 200 new features like control over the shutter speed time -- motion activated -- Even games and a lot more. Hacking your candid camera on today's episode of system."

" Well the system my private Norton's -- I'm. Rogers so. What do you do if you camera. Well -- cool -- point shoot cameras you would say cool that when -- could use that phrase Jason Hunter fired a racing he's completely responsible for all right well -- you Jason and then not tell ask you to put another phrase and Patrick said. That -- hack the firmware on that particular camera. And I did it using something called these CH EK or the Canon hackers development kit. Now that's additional functionality to the camera that you typically do not get when you by the camera from the store. Now being appoint shoot Cameron candidate aimed at the consumer market instead the professional or even the prosumer market there's a lot of options that the often leave out like things like shutter speed. -- ability to customize. I so settings beyond these stock ones that are offered as well as additional things like doing time lapse. Based on motion sensitivity so instead just doing. Timeout greeted the button and it just takes a picture every ten seconds it only takes a picture when something loops where it sees a pixel change in the sensor. Now the cool thing is that it is open source it's completely free. And if you have a Canon camera me within the past couple years. You can actually do this very active at. Home. A bit later on we're gonna show some of these you do with -- camera yes right now we're about to actually acting camera but we have been warning before you accurate camera. Now because you're essentially opening up the camera to your control. Stuff that was traditionally left over to the -- text. You do run the risk of potentially damaging your particular camera if you do something like over tried to shutter speed that was higher than what was allowed for the -- that colleges that are allowed for your particular model. The second thing is this particular software has been ported to your particular model of camera Canon camera so. We get to work through some beta revisions if it's one that just recently got supported as as opposed to one that has been supported for some. Sometime where there's. You know the body of knowledge for people to draw from to me who might be working as a code exactly this can be buster’s pick -- not all the functionality will work. On initial revisions for your particular model but. As time wears goes on and people begin to add their own you know input into it usually comes out to be pretty stable. Now I notice we have a memory card reader here I'm thinking you don't want to do the swap directly through USB cable to the camera. You can. Preferably it's better through memory card reader and the reason is when -- use a memory card reader it seen by the computer as -- drive instead of the USB device dead it's writing punitive. So. Oftentimes. There should be no issue but they're. Are instances where the software in between will -- the data to make rendering it -- usable system damaged a camera is just Apple worked."

" This is just. I think the that's not today's show GoDaddy dot. If you want to make and in fact I'd go with that dot com Apple eat out at five dollars a month. Apple. Comp in 99 point 9% up what equipment support. Me athlete -- that it. Good place we think I'll be -- application like to do with color and plus and the fifth when it take up even if that might not happen like that. Something that you might forget that if you and practical that is up cop supports up I think -- this is just."

" So how to restore all right first of all. You have to have a Canon cam and either runs but the -- two or three processors. Now can use -- image processor in. Pretty much their entire camera line in the past three years. So you two to three processors exactly so if you have one of those you can check on the CH DK website -- We keep there's actually a Wiki for this and you can see off to operate. There's a list of supported cameras and the great thing is I mean a lot of them are supported -- My sister's camera is on here. Port open source firmware in your camera's controls shutter speed. Now for those overseas. Candy -- different names for the different models as you can see here they put the European or international name. I Zune and of course. These numbers one point -- Or oh oh -- for example of this G seven refer to the firmware in the camera. So is that for more information on the camera where is -- okay well first you have to create a file that you need to store on the cameras. Memory card. Before you do anything -- basically determine firmware bottle. -- revision on camera. Now I have a memory card in this camera ready and what you want to do is want to have the card in -- reader -- open it up and you can -- removal this. Creating new file in this case text file. I'm going to type differs. Dot right. Now. Iowa's leave everything's lower case and I've never had any issues I have heard of issues of people using upper case. To -- its upper case don't use operatives make a dollar -- just say all right so it made my file. And we want to ensure that it is indeed a dot REQ and nodded dot kicks the file. I -- which is why you really don't want to do this on a Mac. Invariably the file system known as the -- file system on in OS-X. Will force it to be a text even though you renamed the opposite knows what you really ones. So take the memory card -- camera insert the card into the camera. That's. I know why though so. -- now the key thing is I want to make sure my camera is in review mode. So want to hold press and hold them to set function button which has been at one in my camera. And then it's gonna -- the clock. So while I do that a lot of press down the display button at the same time. And if that works in that -- there we go up the firmware right there list cool well. I know all the from -- essentially one and it ends with a C so. Right now we know what firmware revision my camera is I can go back to this CH DK website they haven't download. Page. And you essentially want to look for your camera. And for your particular firmware revision thankfully mine is supported however. If you do not see your particular firmware revision. Listed. -- a Canon's web -- you may be able to download. The firmware update carruthers. A newer version of the firmware that is listed on the stage yet depending on the age of your camera some of bum arcana heart to find. You might not and you might have to go through non Canon web sites like -- is that the find. Because some people have had issues and so people with the camera have uploaded that firmware. So which want to do after that what you downloaded is is that file it's very simple matter of opening and exporting or rather expanding its contents. And you're gonna essentially take out two files from this list. The disc boot that been. And it PS dot that's why are copied those two. To the root directory. Of your memory card in the -- a route that is the big -- space. It's the first base you see when you. Click on your or card on here there it goes. This is the reason this is normally where the canning can restore all the photos under DC I am. You want to stick those disks -- and yes. Got at by -- now if you want you can leave the version request. File in there as well. So yeah."
