This is an instruction video for Melanie to help her use a Canon Powershot A590 IS camera to use for time lapse shooting using an interval shooting script and a CHDK camera hack. The instruction assumes that the camera already has a camera card loaded with the CHDK firmware and an interval shooting script appropriate for the camera model.
In the video I made a few mistakes. I called the cable that is used to turn off the screen a USB cable when it is really an RCA cable. And I called the camera an SD A590, when it is really an A590 IS.
