The tv settings are in APEX96 units, which in turn are APEX units multiplied by 96 to scale them into useful integer values.  A change of 96 units is equal to doubling the exposure or ISO sensitivity or one f-stop.

The theory behind it is explained here : apex96.pdf

CHDK functions to deal with it are described here : APEX96 Conversion Functions

If you simply want to look up some conversions, the shutter_speeds_table[] in your platform shooting.c is a good way.  Otherwise there have been quite a few spreadsheets and scripts posted here in the past to do that  as well - but those were prior to the improvements in scripting functions.

chdkptp also includes some APEX conversion functions, see exposure.lua. You could convert before sending with something like
Code: [Select]
!mc:cmdwait('call set_tv96_direct('.exp.shutter_to_tv96(1/100).')')
The 1/100 is just an ordinary division, but in chdkptp (unlike on the camera) Lua numbers are floating point so this works fine.

If there's an error, you should post the specific error message.

As it turns out the problem is not "the cam didn't recognize the command", there's a syntax error in the "off the top of my head" code, I used . instead of the concatenation operator ..

The code should be
Code: [Select]
!mc:cmdwait('call set_tv96_direct('..exp.shutter_to_tv96(1/100)..')')

will test it later, hopefully tonight

Other question in mind, Is it possible to set/change Image resolution (Image Capture) from remote (pc) via CHDK script ?

Thx

No. That changes between P, Auto, scene modes etc.

You are looking for set_resolution http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Script_commands#set_resolution

Waterwingz scripting cross reference is the best place to find stuff like this:

it mention that it is not supported yet in LUA

set_resolutionEdit
(since changeset #497)
Set the resolution (in Canon grades), usually 0-8, see PropertyCase for possible values

(not available in Lua yet)
