Special Builds

 * StereoData Maker - SDM
 * A customized CHDK with features designed for making 3D-Stereo images. It provides on-screen (EVF/LCD) stereo information and can save the accompanying stereo-images data to different file-types. See the Home Page on this site for a myriad of support programs for creating and displaying stereo images made with SDM-CHDK (StereoData Maker CHDK).


 * Owen's Build: An unofficial CHDK page
 * An abbreviated DOF display, a couple redundant flags removed, and can view CHDK's histogram at all times. (Might still be based on earlier versions, not updated frequently, but worth getting for its usefulness or if you are just a CHDK version-collector.)
