Caduceus v0.30 (beta)

Caduceus v0.30 (beta)

⚠️ Unofficial, experimental firmware modification. Bugs will appear and flashing can brick your camera or lose data. The author accepts no responsibility for any damage. Provided "as is", without warranty (Apache License 2.0 §7–8). Without the EP7MOD folder the camera is almost stock; the restore file returns it fully to stock 1.1.

What's new

• AP Custom colour. On the AP dial position, picture mode Vivid becomes its own colour profile, saved in EP7MOD/AP.BIN, so Multiple Exposure, Live Composite and the other AP modes can shoot with your own look. Half-press once after switching on (Vivid then reads INFO Custom), then on the Super Control Panel press INFO on the Vivid picture-mode cell to open the full colour wheel. OK on the Saturation cell, or INFO in Live Control, opens it too.
• Live ND (ND3 / ND4) — early alpha. Capture is still picky: frames can be missed or the burst can stop early, and it is being worked on. With the dial on AP and Multiple Exposure selected, Shooting Menu 2 › Multiple Exposure › Number of Frames is no longer greyed out and adds ND3 and ND4: 3 or 4 frames averaged at normal brightness (ND4 ≈ 2 stops), with less noise. Set drive to Sequential H and hold the shutter to take every frame in one press. Sequential L can stop after 2 frames (release and press again); Single drive takes one press per frame.
• Lowest S/S Setting. The minimum shutter speed hidden in the E-P7's own firmware, as a new row in Custom Menu E1 under ISO-Auto Set: Auto (stock) or 1/1.3 to 1/8000. In P and A, the camera raises ISO before going slower than your speed.
• Fix: the Movie colour slot could be skipped after some restarts. Both slots now load on the first half-press every time.
• Firmware screen shows Caduceus: 0.30.

Everything from v0.29a is included. Tested on an E-P7. Full list in the changelog.
