Hello,
how can I put a Canon S110 camera in continuous photo mode via cript command? (I'm using lua)

Hi,

you have two choices:
1) use scripted keypresses in your script, see the "click", "press", "release" (etc.) commands here

2) use UI properties (requires enabled "Lua native calls", see the Misc menu):

You need the following function calls in your script:

Code: [Select]

call_event_proc("UI.CreatePublic") -- you only need to call this once
call_event_proc("PTM_SetCurrentItem",<ID>,<value>)

You need to determine <ID> and <value>, because they are camera model dependent. If you have the correct ID and values, you can switch drive mode between continuous and single with the PTM_SetCurrentItem eventproc.

Depending on your needs, you might also be able to just use a script to hold down shoot_half and click shoot_full_only.

On many cameras, this is pretty much the same speed as continuous mode.

Don't forget what the H stands for.
