I'll have to try it again, because the H isn't showing up after 1600.

If I remember correctly, it won't show up unless you activate it in the customs functions.

Check your menus. The last one is the Tools 2 menu (far right). It's the one that starts with the language setting. Down near the bottom if the firmware version. Right under that should be the customs functions. That's where you unlock all the extras.

If it isn't there, then I suggest that you have not installed the correct firmware. Try downloading from the site again, or perhaps from a different site.
Try this one: //www.bahneman.com/liem/photos/tricks/digital-rebel-tricks.html#hot

It has the whole history of the progression of the hacks, and many other interresting links for the DRebel as well.

Good luck.

Did the firmware program w/ the ISO 3200 upgrade. Works like a champ!

Somehow I am not getting this thing done. I went to download it again and it took 2 seconds and I got the E3kr111b71 rar file 1,815 KB. Is this the whole thing? First time I downloaded, it took an hour and a half. I thought I unzipped the file which had 9 seperate things in it. I changed the program to open it with and can't see what it is or get back to the original way it came up to open it. Right now it says it opens with Internet Explorer but it won't open. I need help, I don't know what I'm doing. Does anyone have some detailed instructions on getting the file, getting it straightened out and on to the card? I can do the rest once it is in the camera.

SUCCESS!!!!!!! Ok everything is fine now. I figured it out. I had to get a rar extraction program and change it to fir. I think I just installed the same canon 1.1.1. the first time. Thanks to those of you who gave me some thoughts. I will be testing this out for sure.

What is the correct procedure to upgrade the Russian hack to the most current version? Must one revert to the original Canon software or is it possible to change from an older hack version?

You don't need to go back to the original. Just install the most recent one, and all the changes will be installed.

Have fun.

I'm starting to think about loading this into my 3 month old Rebel. What's the downside?

No downside, only upside.

Although theoretically, you risk voiding your warranty should it break down completely, not allowing you to return to the original firmware prior to returning for service. That being said, I brought in my DRebel for a sensor cleaning, with the hack installed, while still under warranty and nobody said anything. They had to notice, because the screen that shows sensor cleaning mode would show that CFs are available. Those are not normally there with the original firmware.

Just do it, and enjoy that added features.

Thanks Mario..... worked like a charm, I updated to the "mature version" very smooth process - got new features and also maintained my previous settings.

I've had my Rebel for all of 5 days now (so obviously I had a lot more to lose with the warranty issue than some other people), but I was feeling risky and figured "what the hell"?

Well, this hack works like a charm. I have a pseudo-10D for the price of a rebel AND I am still waiting for my $100 rebate from Canon. Sounds like a good deal to me!

I think people that are having doubts should just go for it. No one (that I know of) has reported any malfunctions. Plus, you can always reinstall the original canon firmware (yes, I tried)...but why would you want to?

At the very least, if you have an IPAQ that came with Nevo (excellent remote control software) then use this as a remote shutter release:

Remote

Needless to say, I'm happy about saving $20 and I'll always have my remote with me!

This is really quite amusing. I found a website that does a pretty detailed 10D vs 300D comparison, which is always useful for a newbie like myself. Well now I can truly get a grasp on (and appreciate) just how much more souped-up my 300D is because of this firmware hack.

I have the latest version of it and I really like it. Mainly use the FEC, "SET" Button to preview pictures, and the RAW and JPEG size turned to small to save space.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a Software Developer and am an avid 300D user. I would like to see all of the features available on the 10D to be on the 300D.

I'd like to hop in on the development of the 300D hack. But not sure how to start off.

Must I speak Russian/Dutch to hop in on the team?

There is a yahoo group, canondigicamhackingcanondigicamhacking. Go there and join, and ask. I believe the Undutchables hack author is active there. the files section has both hacks and the info on what does and does not work.
