Minor bug in version 1.2-2997-full Override Tv function

Hello,
I have verified a minor bug on release version 1.2-2997-full on two different cameras (the A630 and the A650IS).

The bug is this:
If you are overriding the shutter speed using the Ev step method, and set the Ev step value to the SLOWEST value allowed for that camera, NO shutter override will take place.  You have to back up to the "next to slowest" shutter speed for the override Tv value to work.

For example, on the A630, the slowest value in the Ev step method is 2048 seconds. When that is selected, no override takes place, but if you back up one step to 1625 seconds, the override works correctly.  (Yes, I actually use these very slow speeds for taking star trail photos in astro-photography).

Similarly on A650 IS, the slowest value in the Ev step method is 64 seconds. When that is selected, no override takes place, but if you back up one step to 50.8 seconds, the override works correctly.

As an aside, it sure would be nice if the A650 IS could take longer shutter speeds than 64 seconds.
When I formerly owned an A640, I found it strange that the A640 could only take a 64 second exposure, while the A630 (which was basically the same camera with reduced sensor resolution) could take a 2048 second exposure.  I wonder if these maximum length shutter speeds have really been verified lately....

Should be fixed in the latest versions (2998 trunk, 2999 release-1.2).

It's not something to be verified, the > 64 second override uses a different method, so some additional code has to be implemented in each port that supports it. It's implemented on cameras where someone requested it and a developer took the time to implement it. Not all cameras can do a full 2048 seconds (you start getting black images or other problems), but AFAIK that it has been implemented on go far beyond 64 sec.

Thanks for the clarification on how the 2048 second shutter speed is handled, reyalp.   I was not aware that it took extra code to implement the shutter speed beyond 64 seconds. 

Is there a list somewhere of the cameras that currently have the 2048 second shutter speed code? I remember seeing such a list a few years ago, but can't find it now.
