Greetings,
I am gearing up for a high-altitude balloon flight but I'm having issues with the various intervalometers I've tried here so far. Here is the problem: yes, I can turn the lcd to go off after so many seconds, but then when the camera starts taking shots automatically per the script, the LCD comes right back on and won't go off. Also, it wants to use the flash when light is dim, and I can't have that either because the batteries will die fast; it also won't do any good when you're 100K in the air...
I found one that is in LAU script; it is supposed to turn the LCD off after so many shots, but it doesn't work on my A470. It keeps saying Unkn-something. I assume my camera isn't compatible with it, or I copied parts of it wrong. I just cut and pasted and saved the way it said to. So anyway, those MIT students used the same camera and a script from CHDK. How did they keep the LCD off, and automatic flash off, all the while using an intervalometer? I haven't found anything that works, and my BASIC programming is back from 1982 so I don't remember much...any help on this one? My batteries won't last an hour with the LCD coming on constantly and the flash triggering...but I can't seem to fix this issue.
