[HDR-photo] Scriptable Canon Powershot cameras

[Otto Feiler]

Hello Pablo,

I'm interested in this firmware hack to the a610, but am concerned about 
getting back to the original firmware should a problem develop. Do you know 
if the original firmware is available to re-install should a problem occur?

Thanks,
Otto...
