  • Hi Jucifer, thanks for the reply. fbonomi inquired about the trouble I'm having over at

    Bracketing series (for example for timelapse HDR)

    this thread, so I have some info there.  Basically, after 90 shots are taken, get_exp_count *both* jumps (ahead by 16,387 or thereabouts) *and* freezes (doesn't increase as the shots are taken).


    I'll see if the first aid would work.

  • All right, here's the result.  I simply used

    Code: [Select]
    until z>=y

    this instead, and as you'd expect, the 19th cycle (i.e., the 91st shot) ended in just one shot, because z was way larger than y.  Good news is that with the 20th cycle, the script continued to go as expected, with both z and y reset to the much higher number.


    This is workable for me, because I know that all I need to do is to remove every 91st shot before I batch process the images.


    In the mean time, I would greatly appreciate it if you can look into the issue.  I will also try your script and see what happens, and get back to you.

  • Little update. It turns out the problematic shot *isn't* always the 91st shot.

    With the band-aided script, I ran a test of 100 cycles of 5 shot brackets, and the following were the problem areas (i.e., the Solo shot taken whenever Z went way high):

    Shot #86, #187, #288, and #384


    So at first it looked like the problem was going to be every 100 shots after the first one, but the 4th one threw that off as well.  I don't know what, if any, the pattern is here...

  • updated the e-build

    changelog for 080604:
    - get_exp_count now returns the (up to) 4-digit number as in the last file saved by cam. This behavior may be pretty much final, unless a better counter is found for every cam. NOTE: when scripting using get_exp_count, the possible counter reset should be taken into account.
    (might be something along these lines:)
    Code: [Select]
    T=get_exp_count+N
    if T>9999 then T=T-9999
    press "shoot_half"
    press "shoot_full"
    do
    until get_exp_count=T
    release "shoot_full"

    I noticed a dramatic speed decrease when taking shots in continuous mode with scripts, especially uBASIC. I'll have to look into this.

  • K, Jucifer,

    Just tried running a 300 cycle test and it worked beautifully.  Took exactly 900 photos without skipping a beat.  The only change I'd need to make is the counter check for >9999.


    THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • Phox created a new branch for us.
    It will become the ultimate chdk build.

    ;)

    But seriously, it will contain lots of tweaks and mods floating around.
    Lua should definitely be one of those.

  • I guess your timestamp feature could be included in our branch. Can you attach the patch (somew)here?

  • (the speed decrease was probably somehow related to chdk.cfg)
