A small pilot study of how functional distinction Chambers Canon EOS 10D and EOS 300D due to the on-board software
Preliminary observations:
We thank the authors of unselfish flashing.
We used the “product” Ravil and Vasey.
But Ravil and Vasya are mentioned in the English-language sites, as their mother tongue closer to us, so we will write about their flashing.
We are not connected with the authors of the firmware, so all requests and suggestions please send them personally.
We are not responsible for your actions and their consequences.
Just behind it did not meet the authors of the firmware, as indicated on their website.
We are not in any way encourage pereproshivat their cells.
You lose the warranty and all that, although the fatal cases, we do not know (yet, in the forums quite a lot of calls for help and questions, because to get to work, with at least minimal “technical” experience).
If you still decide to carefully review the instructions to the camera and instructions for flashing her firm, as well as all the instructions on the website authors of the program.
Also a good idea to read the instructions to the Canon EOS 10D.
For flashing and after asking for further improvement and repair of service centers should not be treated.
They (and sensible) for a firmware update (as a company, and the more “alternative”) is not responsible.
Canon EOS 300D against the EOS 10D.
Canon EOS 300D is good in itself.
At least that is the first real SLR digital camera at the price of a good compact digital camera.
Its functionality is practically did not suffer from the struggle for the price.
Interchangeable optics, depth of field preview, manual and automatic shooting modes, shooting in RAW, to connect an external flash, good quality images in the range of sensitivity 100-800.
From its predecessor EOS 10D Rebel Rebel has a more “myagkoplastmassovym” housing, governments, smaller buffer.
But hardware and software filling much the same as in tens.
This allowed the Canon “quickly” to release an inexpensive camera.
And it also gives an opportunity to make a nearly 300D 10D (for this we have to thank Canon, which has not broke off an extra foot of a chip “).
An inexperienced photographer, to whom and is designed camera will be pleased with everything and without reprogramming.
Kits configuration program modes are selected by designers Canon is good for those who are accustomed only to automation.
But in the creative modes (priority and manual settings) “forced” Automatic measurement and integrated settings do not always correspond to the plans and habits of a skilled photographer.
Of course, all this automation can be ignored in manual exposure mode “M” forced “Center-weighted” metering focus manually manage the built-in flash through the diaphragm.
But for faster and more comfortable shooting it would be nice:
manage the momentum built-in flash (Flash exposure compensation)
adjust shooting parameters (resolution files, settings files) using the buttons and disk selectors, rather than through the menu
in creative ways:
“Right” to choose the type of metering (which is implemented in almost all, and even far from professional digital cameras, Canon),
choose the focus mode between One-Shot, AI-Servo and AI-Focus,
in “priority” of the diaphragm to remove the flash not only on long exposure, but also on the standard flare (1 / 200 s, for example).
Yes, and other opportunities 10D would come in handy (although the buttons on the body is smaller and implement all the features dozens of hard).
These include: the preliminary rise mirrors, built-in flash sync at the beginning or end of exposure, and others.
Some of the desired can be avoided scene modes (instead of RAW) or get used to the inconvenience (to choose partial metering in the creative modes AE lock – button AE-Lock).
But much is already available through alternative firmware.
While the above items are flashing “on Wasia” not “on”: the explicit control of exposure measurement, a clear choice between AI-Servo and AI-Focus, flash sync at the beginning or end of exposure.

Rewrite.
The process of flashing is simple and standard.
Firm instructions (from which helpful to know) on flashing Canon here.
You should download (eg from the above mentioned website) compressed firmware file (firmware file for the EOS 10D does not apply).
Last known firmware – B7.
A firmware (July 2004).
Unzip it.
Copy the firmware file E3kr111.
fir on a formatted CF card and make sure it is 1815 KB.
Next, install the card into the camera Canon EOS 300D (and not any other) with a fully charged battery.
Turn the camera and to follow the instructions.
When the process is finished – turn off and turn the camera on.
New features and their settings.
Returns to the original firmware.
I know of cases of flashing cameras Canon EOS 300D nobody asked “return” to “as it was.”
Nevertheless, the recipe back firmware is known.
It may be necessary if the camera would have to bear in service or if a new version of the alternative re-flashing will not “become” over the old alternative.
For the “return” to reset all user settings in the Custom Functions related nepereproshitomu Canon EOS 300D.
For this RESET button of the camera’s menu, of course, does not fit.
Next to flash the camera original program.
