Hi, First of all Thumbs up to CHDK for giving us the ADDED functionality and opportunity to use our camera to its full extent.
Secondly, what i am trying to do is to know what script, settings sx40 users are using to achieve good MD speeds, and what speed. cause i have been reading every page of every thread about MD but it dosent seems to give me enough speed to take a pic of a lightning bolt or a car at speed of 60kmph.
i have tried using ISO400, MF, Raw(with Dark Frame Subtraction Off), AWB off, bracketing off, single shot mode,etc. the only setting which got me close is decreasing my image quality to M2( or lower). which is taking all the fun out of it. i got 1.5-1 second on full quality image and 1-0.6 second on M2 quality.
Scripts i have used with settings:-
UBASIC/Scripts: Multipurpose Motion Detectionhttp://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/UBASIC/Scripts:_Multipurpose_Motion_Detection
Shot =0
Continuous shoot = 0,1
Threshold = 10,20,40
Compare Interval ms = 5,10
Compare Interval s = 0
Begin Delay = 1,2
Pix step = 1,5,10,20
Columns/Rows = 2/2,3/3,4/4
Dead frame = 0
and
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/UBASIC/Scripts:Lightning_script_--_Fudgeywith similar settings as above.
now i dont know much about modifying script but i can fix some odds and ends to get some output.
basically what i am trying to know is "is my camera capable of better results or not"?
if somebody got better results some how please share it. it will be very helpfull. thanks
