The S5IS replacement camera has been running for a couple of
days so I checked it and found that it was not working. In common with many newer
cameras it seems it will not allow power to be turned off and then turned on
and carry on happily as before. After power is turned back on the on switch
must be manually turned. This means that the larger capacity card I was hoping
to use is not available. The result of this is that I will really need to use
the camera I already have, but not with the hdr option, to maximise the amount
of storage space or I will be having to check every few days. I guess the
lesson learnt is not to overreach…
Another approach which I could develop now I have this
camera is to write a script which incorporates a light detecting element…
I will check on the CHDK forum to see if that is a possibility.
