-A3300 notes
+Canon A3300is
 
-WARNING WARNING WARNING
+Just to Note: I am not a programmer, I have never touched coding before this port, I wanted this port for my daughter so I gave it a shot and am pleased with the progress.
 
-This is an *incomplete* alpha port, done by an person with limited programming experience. It has known issues, and likely many unknown issues.
+I have never used CHDK before, but from what I can tell, everything in the menus seem to work.
 
-If you are an experienced programmer with this camera, you may want to start from scratch rather than trying to fix this port.
-Most of the comments are probably copy/pasted from other ports, DO NOT TRUST THEM.
+One thing I notice is with the aperture, when you override it, it does effect the exposure of the image and it shows the value in stats display, but only at F2.8 will it actually show F2.8 on the canon OSD. But it is working it seems and does change the exposure on every setting. Any override at wide zoom other then F2.8 will show F8.0 on Canons OSD.
 
-If you are an end user and somehow obtained a build of this, you should proceed with caution and assume that things will be broken.
+Shutter seems fine except when you go past 15", the cam can take 64sec expsosures when overridden so it is working fine, but canon only shows 15"

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+To enter CHDK <Alt> mode use the DISP+SET button.
 
-TOTALLY INCOMPLETE LIST OF OF KNOWN ISSUES:
-modemap in shooting.c is wrong (see stubs_entry.S)
-zoom step / focus table etc stuff in main.c is wrong (copy/paste from some totally different camera)
-lib.c get_flash_params_count likely wrong
-platform_camera.h values are likely wrong
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Shortcut Keys
+ In Alt mode
+:
+Press Display to toggle Zoom focusing if Stats are turn on in OSD menu
+Press + or - to change Factor
+Use zoom lever to focus.
+------------------------------------------------------------
+For now colors to get Red logo are set for Shooting mode, Play mode will be orange.
+Go into visual settings to adjust and menu colors the way you want.
+
+Also I had to add a new Pallette==14 to /core/gui_draw.h  to get
+red splash screen in shoot mode.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
+
+I also needed to add to /include/modelist.h to get Mode_Live and Mode_Discreet for my cam.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Have not tested USB shutter control yet.
