UnDutchables Firmware Hack for Digital Rebel

A "New Fireware Hack for 300D (Undutchables 0.1.0)" has surfaced recently.

With Ravil and Wasia moving on to newer and better things, the Digital Rebel hack has been sitting still for a while. Although the latest Wasia firmware hack is stable and a good performer, one has to wonder if there is more potential to be unlocked.

This new UnDutchables firmware upgrade is built on the Wasia Russian firmware. Currently, it provides no new features, but allows some of the more advanced functions to be available in basic shooting modes. Although not much of an improvement for many advanced users, it may gain enough momentum to be the next hot firmware hack.

Here are some users talking about their experiences with this hack: Anyone using the UnDutchables firmware?

Here is the actual message posted to canondigicamhacking group by the UnDutchables on 2005-02-17.


Just loaded into the files section, the new FW for the 300D with the
folowing featuers.

UnDutchables V0.1.0

The Wasia firmware already contained:
- ISO 3200
- Mirror Lock up for Timer and Single shot
- Selectable pause for mirror lock up see C.Fn. 17
- FEC on JUMP button
- 'Left' button selects the autofocus mode:
AF OS - ONEShot
AF SE - AI-Servo (doesn't work right now)
AF AI - AI-Focus
- the default button in delete prompt was changed from 'Cancel'
to 'OK'. So, be aware.
Now if you want to delete an image, press DEL button and then SET
one. To Cancel press any other key.

Added functionality by the UnDutchables
--------------------------------------------------
Continues Drive in Basic Mode
Jump = FEC only selectable in Creative modes
Left key = AF-Mode only selectable in Creative modes
WB selection in Basic modes
Custom Function 1 available in basic modes enabling:
- Quality Select via SET button
- Parameter select via SET buttons
- Menu via SET button
- Image Replay via SET button

Working; Setting have to be changed in via Advanced mode
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
WB-Bracketing

Notes:
1) Changing Quality in Basic mode may crash the camera. Nothing serious just turn the camera OFF and ON again. Changes must be made in a Creative modes or via the SET button + Custom Function-1 (see 10D manual page 166)
2) If the AF drive is set to AI-Servo the AF confirmation Ligh and Beep are turned off (as done in the 10D) but now it is turned off for all ALL modes. Please change to AI-Focus or One-Shot if AF confirmation Light and Beep is desired.

Have Fun

I have the last Wasia version but was searching for the "undutchable" version. The site seems to have disappeared. Do you know where it can be downloaded now?

Yah, you can get it from the canondigicamhacking group mentioned above.
