"you'll see the real mechanic structure"
Yeah, saw it! Thanks. But the diagnosis means that the "ND-filter" item in the "Extra photo operations" menu is an atavism and will not work correctly. As I described above, it works only in non-script mode, and the result is not reflected in EXIF. So it gives the doubtful result. Setting ND-filter IN/OUT gives maybe 1 step, maybe more. Now I have a courage to try "set_av", at least.

The next issue is a set of props, I found here the most fresh "New Digic IV". Doubtful that it's fully convenient to our camera (as well as all previous sets). Now I'm trying to set/determine the shooting process, and any of props 200 - 210 don't return anything except zeros. The #208 seems to give a 1 after a shot is made, but it's marked as "Flash Ready status" in the previous "Digic III & Digic IV" propset.

Seems that branch is abandoned by developers, so we have to maintain it ;) Our beta seems to be far from end :(

CHDK is an all volunteer affair - there are no "developers" who maintain things.  Code for a camera is either maintained by someone who owns the camera or it becomes abandoned.  From that point of view - you are now a "developer".   Welcome onboard !

"you are now a "developer""

I had to guess it before :( So now I must tesst not only 10 props, but all of them.
NB: prop 2008 becomes 1 when half_shoot is pressd, prop 2010 - only when flash is activated. What to do with this knowledege?

As far as I can tell - as indicated by the IXUS 200/SD980 the diaphragm has ten steps giving the following apertures:

f 2.8, 3.2, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.6, 6.3, 7.1, 8.0
