Phil, is it possible to switch to manual focus mode on the G12 from script?

There is no script function to set manual focus; but you can use the 'click' function to simulate pressing the buttons on the camera.

If you are in auto focus mode then:
  click "up"
  click "set"
should set manual focus.

Regards,
Phil.


I must leave ALT mode to change the MF mode (by pressing up), and the click actions failed as well. Is the user (me) broken? Did I miss a menu item, or command. Or is this expected behavior?

Thank you again.

Only minor differences between 1.00e and 1.00f. 1.00f patch has been submitted, should be on the autobuild server soon. Or you can use CHDK Shell to build it manually.

Tnx, No I have G12 1.0e so I was wondering what Canon twiked for the 1.0f.

As it is very debatable why the do not issue firmware upgrades anymore.

Pretty much impossible to say what was changed. The code changes are buried deep in the firmware and not easily understood.

Canon rarely release firmware updates unless critical problems are found.

Using a G12 with firmware F downloaded from here http://mighty-hoernsche.de/.  I set the custom auto iso on, and max 20 but the camera still uses mainly iso 500 for flash shots on auto iso. Using auto mode or P mode doesn't make any difference. Am I missing another setting somewhere? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

It does work; but...

The ISO values in the Custom Auto ISO overrides aren't equal to the Canon ISO values you see on screen (it's this whole complicated thing about market versus real ISO which I won't go into - partly because I don't understand it all).

A value of 10 in 'Max ISO Auto (x10)' will lock the Canon max ISO to 160, 20 = 320, etc.
Experiment with the values to find what you need.

If max 20=320, then why does it use 500 when I set it to 20?
