An Alternative to the Hack for FEC on a 300D

Post deleted. The method described would work for film cameras but not Digital Cameras. When you change a digital camera's ISO you also change the senor sensitvity. Sorry for posting before my second cup of coffee.

Another alternative is this

The free download will adjust FEC.

Or

The 300D will remember the FEC setting.

Both version work with my v1.1.1 firmware.

Funnily enough I too came across an alternative to the firmware hack - its free at programmehttp://revolution.cx/rcx/fecset.htm.

Seemingly unlike every body else who has opted for the hack ,I have had trouble with the download and installation ( my post earlier today in this forum refers) so if I can't resolve it I might go for this software, as to have FEC is my particular wish.

Forget about the software FEC. IMHO it's completely useless. I don't set FEC to a certain value permanently and I wouldn't want to connect the camera with my computer EVERYTIME I want to change the setting. I shoot with flash, look at the histogram, change FEC if necessarty, and continue shooting.
BTW: I use the modified firmware since more than six months without ANY problem and use FEC, flash synch speed, and One Shot A LOT.
