I got got over 2500 photo's from my NB6L clone battery, many more than the
FWIW, on D10 (also NB6L) I get over 7000 shots sometimes
The result is boring as the sky was tightly clouded up high.
But as a test it worked.
I did notice some flickering though.
How can I fix this?
Flicker can happen for many reasons. If you upload the log file, I may be able to tell what's happening in your case. Uploading the video may be useful too.
There are some deflicker plugins from virtualdub that can help some.
What does it mean when the csv says 'sv 380 != cam 476 / smooth overshoot:-1' ?
In the desc column, the / separates different messages, so these are two unrelated things.
The sv message means the script tried to set ISO 80, but when it read back, it was set to 160.
I assume this is from before you changed the target ISO?
The smooth overshoot isn't a problem, it's just information about what the code was doing. The exposure algorithm tries to smooth out exposure changes by averaging the previous exposure change with next calculated exposure. "smooth overshoot" happens when the average would change exposure in the wrong direction for the current meter result. For example, if the last exposure change -3 and meter shows +1 is needed to reach the target exposure, then averaging in the -3 would would result in a -1 change. In this case, no change is made. This message will also be generated every time the exposure change becomes 0.
You should understand that this script was mainly written to test some new features in the CHDK 1.4 code. It works fairly well, but there are some rough edges.
@c_joerg
Thanks for posting your results and logs. I'm trying to focus on stuff for the 1.4 release now, so I may not respond quickly, but it should help improve the script in the future.
