DISCLAIMER: If you push your camera too far, there is a slight (.01%) chance that you could permanently damage your equipment. Always stay within reason. In this video, I show you how to use the CHDK firmware extension to push your camera's photo taking capabilities to it's limits. I show you how to override the photographic features of your camera, such as the shutter speed and ISO, so that you can get the perfect shot. As always, experiment with your camera. Some cameras accept a long exposures better than others, so I wouldn't recommend going straight to a 10 min. exposure. Test it out with your equipment to find out what works best for you. Some info.: -any override aperture value will work -Any shutter speed value will work (even the 1/100k) -exposures over 300 seconds may cause random white pixels to appear in your image. -For long exposures, the time it takes to take a photo is twice that of the exposure time. Ex: A 100 second exposure takes 100 seconds to take and another 100 seconds to process for a total of 200 seconds of unusable time. -Any ISO value that is less than or equal to your camera's max ISO will work. (any higher and your camera will crash, but it should re-boot without ill effects.) -ISO values less than 80-60 will be treated by your camera as ISO 80-60. (values vary with camera model). -Don't be stupid and do a 10 min. exposure at f/2.7 ISO 3200 in broad daylight. You might fry something in your camera. And as always, use common sense!

In this video, I show you what the video straight out of the camera looks like in very low light. I also highlight how good the built-in mic is. The "static" noise that you hear however isn't the camera or mic, but the sound of the snow hitting things, as it was snowing quite a bit. It was about 6:00pm, on a very cloudy late December day, so there wasn't much light for me to work with. The part in the beginning, the light was only a small 40-60W incandescent bulb. (headphones will help!) All done handheld. Filmed at 1080p, which allows for great detail, but not so good low-light performance 720p version: http://youtu.be/PAVi6_fImrI 480p version: http://youtu.be/doxmU3dpxtY ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQo_nsZDT1k

In this episode, I get distracted about the history of Nintendo. I also fail because of it. I hope you can endure! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbfIJzQWeZs

I remixed the song from the second level of BattleToads, and this is what it sounds like. I hope you enjoy this! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwD6WnCEW8g
