experimental Tv mode for A450/experimental override shutter speed with metering

Version 0.3 For A450->http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,1051.msg9595.html#msg9595

This is my very first script in CHDK.

I'm trying to make a script for A450 to have the Tv mode (A450 is a low end powershot. It have auto mode only :lol)

Also I'm trying to add the metering features for the override shutter speed.

I guest it should be work with another model of Powershot which using AllBest Build

Please feel free to discuss and debug it :P

Known Issue: When using the high shutter speed (should be 1/1000s in A450) this script maybe malfunctions!

(It is using the shutter_speeds_table to set the shutter)

An excellent idea -- if it works, I don't have that camera to test it. This falls right in line with the whole concept behind CHDK, give your camera features that were left out or ones you always wished it had. (Because cameras right from the camera company are designed by idiot bean-counters who have never even touched a camera let alone used one, instead of designed by photographers these days. Not unlike how greed-driven insurance executives are acting as surgeons and doctors and defining what health-care you require.)

Nice job.


Thanks Barney Fife,

I've checked the S3IS's source code(shooting.c). S3IS is using the similar shutter_speeds_table(as my review most of the camera using the same table, just some high-end powershot have faster shutter speed.) and my script is only using a similar formula (Ev=Av+Tv=Bv+Sv). So I guess this script is work for other model's powershot.

So, You can have a try in S3IS too, but it will be just a duplicated function for it  :lol

Here is the version 0.2 of the script
the new version ONLY Support A450 and Possible Some DIGIC III PowerShot

Due to the A450 Limit I've used the propertycase #246 for the Sv Settings and #262 for the Tv Settings.
If someone want to Implement this script to DIGIC II Powershot.
You can try Change the
Quote
set_prop 262 s
set_prop 247 z
To
Quote
set_sv96 s
set_tv96 z

Or change the correct propertycase number refer to the Digic II

Version Histroy

0.1 ---- initial Build
0.2 ---- I. Extended Shutter Speed supported (64s~16s & 1/2000s~1/100000s)
           II. Added The Highest ISO Limit to ISO 800 (Real ISO)
           III. Added The Notice Light(The ALT Button Light) (It will be Light up when needed ISO is higher than 800)
                 (When The Notice Light is ON mean your Photo maybe underexpose)

Now I get the point to your previous script...

I was wondering why I need to use your script in AUTO mode, when I have Tv and Av for the same result :)

Ideally, this should have been posted in the main Script Writing forum, and the final version moved here to "Completed and Working Scripts" when you get the main bugs worked out.

I'll move this there after you read this, just to let you know what's going on.

Then once you have your final final version, please do copy just that post to the "completed and working" section.

Eventually some motivated Wikia editor in the future will be able to go through just the "Complete and Working Scripts" to copy them over to the Wikia archive. Without having to wade through tomes of experiments. (The purpose of doing it this way.)



Barney Fife Please move my message. In fact, i found I'm in the wrong zone. i just think this is the zone for "Completed and Working "ON" Scripts". seems this is my fault to mis-understand the zone :D

Please Kindly move my both script to main Script Writing forum

Mainly -> Because the A450 only got Auto Mode :D

and the Tv mode metering is not supported the "extended range" shutter speed :D
