You may need to call System.Create first - call_event_proc('System.Create')

i placed it between the variables at the beginning of the script.
and it generated the system clock for a few seconds after starting the script.
never seen that happen before

but the return value of

call_event_proc('GetFocusLensCurrentPosition') is still -1.

is something wrong with my cam or should the call_event_proc('System.Create') be made everytime i do this call?

I don't think there is any way to control the wheels or simulate wheel rotations from scripts.

yes, thought so, only a few models have wheels.

I don't think there is any way to control the wheels or simulate wheel rotations from scripts.

I would expect it should be triggerable with levents like we do for the jogdial. On G7 X, the front ring can be controlled using

Code: [Select]

=post_levent_to_ui(0x1132) post_levent_to_ui('RotateRingFuncLeft',1)
=post_levent_to_ui(0x1132) post_levent_to_ui('RotateRingFuncRight',1)

The meaning of the 0x1132 event is unclear, it doesn't seem to do anything on its own, but was sometimes required when using the ring func to control aperture or shutter. The parameter for the RotateRingFunc* is the number of clicks. For zoom, 0 goes to the limits post_levent_to_ui('RotateRingFuncRight',0) goes to full wide, and left goes to full tele. Aperture seemed to go to full wide with left or right

I found the 0x1132 event using the usual chdkptp camera log approach

Code: [Select]

!require'extras/devutil'.init_cli()
dlstart
# manipulate dial
dlgetcam

dbg.log

Code: [Select]

00137050: UI:Button:0x00001132:
00137050: UI:Button:0x000008AB:RotateRingFuncRight

Not sure what event would control the G1 X front dial, there are a few with suggestive names, but probably easiest to just look at the camera log.

You only need to call System.Create once (per camera boot). I very much doubt this is a problem with your camera, more likely a typo somewhere. You should check the return value of System.Create too.

I tried this on my G1X and you need to add call_event_proc('Mecha.Create') instead of call_event_proc('System.Create').
This only needs to be done once at the start of the script.

i am testing set focus on the G1X in Av mode, but it doesn't seem to work as I expected.

Do you know that Landscape Focus Bracketing Script from pigeonhill for G1x?
Maybe that will help

and, second question, is there a key for the rear dial on the G1X, something i could use to test setting the focus 'manually', like click"wheel_left" (or right that would probably be very helpfull in creating some more tests.

... Needs to replace lua.flt ...

Code: [Select]

--[[--
@title jogdial.Lua

print(-is_wheel_left(),is_wheel_right())
sleep( 111)
print("", is_wheel_right(),-is_wheel_left())
sleep( 222)
until is_key "set"

c=0; j=0
repeat
if J==1 then
   j=get_wheel(); c=c+j;
   if j==-1 then print( j, "wheel_left",c) end
   if j==1  then print( j, "wheel_right",c) end
   sleep(111) end
until 1>2

In modes, that use jogdial for own settings, these options are limited.

... This menu setting does not affect the behavior of scripts ...

This applies to both the "set_focus()" command in CHDK scripts,
or the "Override Subject Distance" menu item in the CHDK's Enhanced Photo Operations menu.

Quote from: Mlapse on 05 / February / 2022, 12:14:57
further test with the CHDK setting "Override Subject Distance" revealed that it would also not set correctly or hold the focus between shots.

another log:
first run MF without CHDK override(focus as saved in canon menu and used in earlyer log), next 2: MF with CHDK override active.(set at 49500) (focus @ infinity in script = false)

Once again, it would be helpful if you could explain, in simple terms what you changed and how it relates to the thing you are replying to.

It looks like you implemented functions allow script to know if the jogdial was used. This is potentially useful, but my impression was mlapse was asking for how to simulate using the front dial from script, like wheel_left() and wheel_right() already do for the jogdial. This is a totally different thing, though I may have misunderstood mlapse request.

If you want to post something like this, you can use an attachment. But what is the point of this? Yes, there are lots of eventprocs with "lens" in the name. Anyone who wants to investigate can look at the CSVs in SVN, that's why they are there. Actually learning anything from them requires testing or reverse engineering.

while testing i see i missed a lot

i'll catch up in an hour or so.
and yes, i wanted to simulate the jog dial since that is used for setting zoom manually...maybe add it to mfvals so i can easaly use that for some other tests.

i'm not done testing with what i've got so no worry. this has to do with some inconsistant results.
however, i've already captured a few changing results...i'll post one dataset of a short and long G1X run.....often a dawn moment, also with a reboot at 9am.

that made me wonder about a few things...
the get_focus fomulae seems particulary troubled with the G1X.
i haven't seen the code, but is it based on a 3 lens varifocal/zoom formulae that would probably fit all a models cams.
and i haven't guttet any lenses of canon

but could it be that the g1x (maybe all s / g cams ) have a master group that is not considered in the calculation?
just a thought...
the other is, is GetFocusLensCurrentPosition actually a value that is Canon uses in the bar that is visible if in manual focus?

thanks for the landscape focus script, i'll try some of that tomorrow after finishing what is running now.

for now, my best visible result at this moment is from the S110 that is set in manual mode, set_focus(might change between shots)....shocking isn't it?

The regular jogdial (around the func button) can already be simulated from script, use wheel_left() and wheel_right(). If you need to control the other wheel, that can probably be done, but the specific events need to be identified.
