- The S5 lacks an intervalometer, even though the S1, S2, and S3 have one. The closest thing it has natively is a "custom timer" -- a timer that will take multiple photos. Use a CHDK intervalometer script to add this feature.
- RAW samples have been submitted to rawsamples.ch and are also available for direct download [1].
