Okay - so I've spent some time trying to figure out and create a hybrid script from various posts to get my camera to focus lock, exposure lock, then take an identical photo every time I press the remote trigger. I'm now a bit frustrated, as between learning to write scripts, and implementing them, I've got confused and lost. I haven't even tried running it as its that horrible. Please help get it running.
Thanks,
Dave
REM Set AF, AE, and then take pic with remote button.
REM Default distance is 45mm from camera to glass. Don't think there's much point in using this if use AF.
REM Get_prop 206 tests when DIGIC III camera is ready to shoot again
