I have used the simple intervalometer script on my SX200 and it works great! However, when I take the exact same script and run it on my G12, when the "shoot" command is called, the camera turns off.
Here is the loop:
rem now we've done the first shot
:do_loop
for n=2 to d
print "Shot", n, "of", d
sleep t
shoot
next n
end
If I change the script by commenting out "shoot" and putting in a print command, the script works fine. Here is that version:
rem now we've done the first shot
:do_loop
for n=2 to d
print "Shot", n, "of", d
sleep t
rem shoot
print "shooting now"
next n
end
I tried to replace "shoot" with "shoot_full" and the G12 still turns off.
Then I deleted all of the lines in the script except print and shoot and the camera still turns off when shoot is called. Here is that two line script:
print "shooting now"
shoot
Does anyone know why "shoot" doesn't work on the G12?
I tried to find other posts about this but was not successful...
