Canon SX110 IS issue Custom timer

  • Hi All,

    Please help me in the following.
    Ok, I see what you mean. So I can only take pictures in the regular mode. But how will I be able to use features such as bracketing?

    Enter <Alt> mode with PRINT, enter CHDK menu with MENU, set up wat you want...


    -> set "TV bracketing value" to [2 Ev], "Brackting type" to [+/-], exit Alt mode, use the custom timer (set up to 1s delay, 3 shots)



    I have tried the above but my camera is taking only one shot and not 3 or 5 which every i have set. What might be the problem?

  • I tried with a non chdk card and the custom timer with 3 shots and 1s delay works. But when I work with the CHDK card, custom timer does not work for me. Is this a bug. Has anyone ever faced this?

  • yes I did. I set it to 3, 4 or 5 too and I can see that for the first shot it reduces the exposure. But its not firing the next shot and the lcd goes blank.
    -> Make sure that "Add RAW suffix" is disabled.
    -> Pls. post all your settings in the "Bracketing in continuous mode" menu
    ;)

  • Fe50 thanks for the help

    I have now tried to use the ult_intrvl.bas script. And it is working. The problem is the exposure is not changing. I am doing something wrong. Please find my settings below

    Camera: SX110IS
    Bracketing: Bracketing in continous mode-->AV bracketing value = 1Ev
    Add raw suffix is not selected.

    Now i have set the script and I run the shots. It takes three shots but I see no difference in them. Where am I going wrong?

    Use Tv bracketing, not Av !

    Av bracketing is very often limited, by the available range or by some camera settings / the firmware...
    Tv bracketing should always work, without those limitations.
