CR1 does NOT zoom. Zoom button #5 shoots a photo and #6 blanks out camera
Microfunguy
That is impossible.
Are you using the correct profile (CHDK) ?
What are the values of 'a' ?
FreeFlow
I just downloaded this script you said...

FreeFlow
Or do you want me to use the script we have been working with...

Load and run script cr1sdm.bas with ordinary CHDK profile.
Are you using the correct profile (CHDK) ?

Sounds like you should be using USB/CHDK with the cr1sdm.bas and reporting the A values.
Microfunguy
I want you to download the script and SET CONTROL METHOD TO CHDK.
Report values of 'a'.

Sorry, I got taken from my computer. Please give me a few mins...

Three tries here...
Button #7 shows SHOOT:1, 1, then 1 again
Button #5 shows Zoomin: 17, 19, then 18
Button #6 shows zoomout: 25, 25, then 26
8+7 first time press...

rec_video:33
Yes so far working well. More to come.
Microfunguy
So, they work OK ?
What about video start/stop ?
FreeFlow
On another note David, and I don't mean to jump ahead but is there a way to keep the camera's display ON when i'm doing all this with that USB/AUDIO cable? It only shows up on the DVD player I have tethered on...
FreeFlow
8+7 second time press...
52
rec_video:62
8+7 third time press...
33
rec_video:33 BUT now it takes you back to the photo mode and you can click#7 again to shoot. I guess it the only way to get back to photo mode?

52
rec_video:62
And stop video doesn't work does it? I'm pretty sure that first record video press is ok (33 and starts recording), but Stop video should be 62 and it's ony 52 (if I'm interpreting correctly). Stay tuned.. I can tell there is some thinking going on.
You said"33
rec_video:33 BUT now it takes you back to the photo mode and you can click#7 again to shoot."
It started recording video didn't it? and the next time you pressed it it took you back to photo mode? (but didn't stop recording)
FreeFlow
@achillies
good point. after the ...
+7 second time press...
52
rec_video:62
the camera parks on the screen shot of the recorded video with <ALT> MOVIE on the bottom right of screen.
So YES it does stop the video Plus there is an Orange rectangle block icon on the lower right side of screen telling me it is STOPPED.

Ok, go through the sequence more slowly next time and make notes of all of these things. It will help you get to know how it works a little better.
Can you post a complete set of your current "A" values? (5,6,7,8+1, 8+2, 8+3, 8+4, 8+5, 8+6, 8+7)
Microfunguy
In the :stop_video part of the script, change :
record_mode
sleep 2000
to:
sleep 2000
record_mode
It is meant to return to Record mode, not get stuck in Playback mode (as it is now)
FreeFlow
I will chart the values for all the button combos. Please NOTE: that the zoom feature will NOT let me hold the buttons to run OUT or IN. It only moves slightly with each press going IN or OUT.
achillies
@freeflow - disregard my message (for now, those A valuse are important if things don't work.), MFG has limited time and I don't want to waste it.
Just make the script change he asked for and report back. The rest of this will get sorted out later - stuff like LCD blanking and how zoom actually zooms are different things, and you need to get your buttons all working for what they are meant for.
FreeFlow
I did change that piece of code but it's still not right. It seams to act about the same. I still can't stop the video the restart the video. it's like it forgot the #8 in the 8+7 press and takes a photo
Plus once it does it I end up turning the camera off then back on to get it all back in order. Kind of like it's confused however it still zooms and shoots image. mainly cant get back to movie mode.
achillies
Ok, NOW post your A values again.
Microfunguy
Do we agree that you can stop the video ?
If so, the script should then return you to Record mode.
Does it ?
