Okay - propcase scan script built and tested.  Runs kind of slow and it's not elegant but it works on all my cameras.

I think we now have valid alternative values for propset2 to propset6.

Propset Current New
1??
2206297
3208301
4210303
5210303
6209302

If someone with a propset 1 camera can try the script and report,  we might be done here?

(and this post marks the debut of CHDK running on my Powershot N)

If I can coax a few minutes charge into the old batteries I'll check the IXUS700 - if the pattern holds it should be 296.

Phil.

Edit: The IXUS700 does not seem to have an equivalent alternative value. Property 7 does get set to 1 when shooting; but it is set immediately, it does not wait until focussing and exposure are finished. Changing this one could affect other scripts that use get_shooting. The others should be ok to commit to SVN.

If battery life is an issue, delete the 1) regular shoot test part of the script - you really only need the 2) aelock shoot test part

The same situation is with the a530.

Good  catch - the script does not really check for that.  I guess I should recheck the other propsets - athough the "pattern" of old vs new value to use is the same for all of them.

The same situation is with the a530.
Both propset 1 - as are about 20% of the cameras ported to CHDK.

I'll update the note in the wiki scripting function for set_aelock() to indicate the issue with propset 1 cameras.

Thanks for the script.

As it turns out, not all cameras we call "propset 2" work the same.
This is the result of proptest.lua on my propset 2 cameras:
                        1st pass     2nd pass
a460   (DIGIC II) vx         206            -
a470  (DIGIC III) dry    115,206          115
sx100 (DIGIC III) dry    115,206          115
g10     (DIGIC 4) dry    297,206          297

That means we should probably bring back 206 as PROPCASE_SHOOTING for propset 2, unless someone has a better idea (like splitting propset 2 into two or more propsets?).
See this bug report.

That would mean a lot of cameras cannot use set_aelock but it's probably the easiest solution and can be implemented right away.
