First make sure you have the 64 bit driver installed. You can download it here: Aeris s/w support page To move the data (your logbook) to the new machine, You need to copy the database file to the new machine. I use a flash memory thumb drive to do this. To move the logbook data you...

I disagree with not using the built in flash. It depends on what you are shooting , the lighting and water conditions. The built in flash works quite well in fairly clear water as long as you use the included diffuser and the distance is only a few feet or less. Without the diffuser you...

My wife and I have the same setup you do canon 850is and we did a 3 week trip in Indonesia in Sept/Oct 2008. (I'm actually a CHDK developer and have my own version of CHDK that I modified with certain menu preferences) I Played quite a bit with raw on the trip and took most of the...

The Oceanic software cannot import any data except from their own dive computers. Even then the Oceanic software will only allow you to import from oceanic dive computers (not the other Pelagics like Aeris or Wisdom). OceanLog cannot even import the data files that it exports. The only only...

The best thing I like about Scubase is that the data and its format on the screen and in printouts is totally customizable. Want an extra field in the database, simply add it. Don't want/need a field, delete it. Want to move the fields around on the screen, go for it. Want to customize your...

Did you install the driver for the USB download cable? That is a separate download/install. --- bill

I'm using CHDK on a SD850is which I'm sure is the same with respect to your questions. You can use a 4 gig card and have CHDK autoboot without partitioning. The reason you may see different answers is because the card has to be formatted with a FAT file system and a "standard" FAT file...

While I think the ideal solution is to remove the e-ring retainer clip and the button itself for cleaning and lubing, here is an alternate tip I got from the guys at SeaLife when one of my buttons was sticking on a DC-500 housing. I have used this method successfully on both a SeaLife DC-500...

I had a similar problem with a WP-DC15 housing. Turned out that the shutter button was sticking and not coming all the way back up. It was staying down just enough to half press the shutter button. Things were really funky. It would still take pictures fine and turn on/off just fine but the...

Take a close look at the housing and your flash setup before you select a strobe setup. The WP-DC15 housing for the SD850is doesn't have a good place to attach a fiber cable link. The plastic is very curved directly over the flash area. You will need some sort of stick on attachment and...

I'm pretty familiar with the SD850is as I bought one for my wife about a year ago just prior to a live aboard trip to St Croix. I was quite pleased with the results and bought one for myself to replace my SeaLife DC-500 for a recent 3 week dive trip to Indonesia this year. Here is a link...

From what I've read, it sets the O2 *and* N2 values to an impossible situation. 50% O2 and 79% N2. So you are uptaking oxygen *and* N2 much faster than normal. I do know that if you accidentally take a dive in this mode, it makes for a shallow dive dive. ~40ft or the OxTox alarms start going...

The PC s/w looks at date/time for a match to see if a dive needs to be downloaded from the dive computer. So if you want to re-download a dive that is already in your logbook, you can either delete the dive, or slightly alter the date/time (starting minute) of the dive in the logbook, so that...

You could try re-downloading the dives that are still in your VT Pro to see if it makes any difference. --- bill

There is no other SD camera that has all the features you are looking for, notably the 28mm wide angle. Sure seems odd that all the other "WP" housings are rated to 130 ft Also nearly all the merchants selling this housing say 40m/130 ft. (the rest don't say) I looked and looked for the manual...

I bet the 100 ft on the "buy now" page is a typo. If you look on the canon site on the page for accessories for the sd870is it shows the WP-DC17 with a depth of 130ft. SD870 Accessories Maybe send canon a email for confirmation before giving up. --- bill

Mike, Currently, there is no CHDK support for the sd770is camera. As far as white balance goes: I'm not sure how the sd770is works but the SD series I've looked have some odd things to keep in mind when using the custom white balance function and different flash modes. Alcina is...

You can still use the canon assigned function assigned to the print button. Hold the print button down longer. A quick press enters <ALT> mode for chdk and a longer press, will activate the function assigned to the print button. So if you want to assign the custom white balance to the print...

I know that this thread is very old, but I don't believe the above information is correct. The Wisdom II computers I've seen are identical the original Wisdom other than they removed the color coding around the edge for the loading bars and the ascent rate indicator. Here is a response...

See this thread: wisdom-vs-wisdom-2l Sherwood has a response about this. The only difference I've seen is that the colors (read/green/yellow) for the loading and ascent rate bars around the edge have been removed. This was also done on some of the Aeris models. --- bill
