Script update to version 2.11   

Script now allows individual event_proc test to be disabled as there are two cameras (so far) that crash when testing event_proc based  set_focus() tests.

No need for retesting anything but those two cameras

Which are those?
As I already mentioned, the various MFOn event procedures should be equivalent (they should call the same firmware function, checked this in the a460 fw). If more than one of them exist on a camera, they are PT_MFOn and MFOn. SS.Create and RegisterShootSeqEvent are only needed to register MFOn and its friends. Since MFOn and MFOff have no arguments, it's probably possible to call them directly (if they ever become part of CHDK).
I have done some grepping.

No need for retesting anything but those two cameras
Which are those?
Based on what we have been able to tabulate so far (50 out of 121 cameras) the following cameras shutdown while trying to do the event_proc part of the tests :
  • A2300
  • A3400
  • A810
As mentioned above,  the version 2.11 of the test script allows individual sections of that test to be disabled so we will try to collect more detailed data.

Thanks - that's very useful.   Some of the older ixus cameras do not have any MFOn type events ( ixus30_sd200 , ixus40_sd300 , ixus50_sd400 , ixus700_sd500 ).    Fortunately, it also seems that older cameras will do a set_focus() without any additional setup needed so perhaps that will not matter.

Other than those old cameras,  it would be very nice if the solution to all this comes down to adding a script function to call an MFOn type event_proc (registered or direct) prior to using set_focus().   Using post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF") is a toggle function - you don't know if its on or off when you issue it.   And just using set_focus() or set_aflock() crashes some cameras.

I'm not sure we are safely there yet but I think the results are encouraging?

Thank you for rerunning the test with the new script.  It seems there is always at least one camera that has to be a little different.   I've updated the results spreadsheet entry for the A2300 with this new information.

Hi,
another one.
No crash.
CHDK for this is marked BETA.
IXUS 970 IS 100b

Attached, no surprises though. Trying to call nonexistent event procedures won't crash the cam, calling an existing one might.
I have also re-tested the ixus870, it now seems much more fragile: the only test that did not crash the cam (yet) is the AF lock test. The romlog shows an assert in MotionVector.c...

Using post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF") is a toggle function - you don't know if its on or off when you issue it.
MF propcase? (just guessing) If that doesn't work, perhaps the PTM functions could help switching on MF on cameras that have it (downside is that it needs per-camera research).

And just using set_focus() or set_aflock() crashes some cameras.
IMHO setting focus while in AF lock may work stable on (some?) cameras - if we avoid setting the focus again together with the other overrides in half-shoot.

edit: removed some manually stopped test runs from the ixus870 log

Not sure yet - but that's why I added all the propcase variables that I could find to the .csv log files. ;)

No problem. Here are some new results, with "bypass interlocks" enabled. The A810 crashed in tests 3 and 5 (aflock and event procs); romlogs are included. (Fun fact about the A810: The timestamp of the file a810.csv was Jan 1 2000, while the regular clock is only one day off. Also, the romlog files had the correct timestamp)
If you have a few moments,  would you download the latest 2.11 version of the script (attached) and use the new user parameters to try and narrow down which event_procs pass, fail, or crash for your  A810 ?

TIA
