Hi Everyone

I was wondering if there is a timelapse script that offers to shut off the flash and shut off the lcd in for example 1 minute. I hope someone can help me with this. I want to do some macro timelapse in a mini studio, i have some light here and that's why i don't need the flash.
So here a quick overview.

Camera = Powershot G7

* Flash off
* LCD screen off in 1 minute or so.
* Macro function on.

I hope someone can help me.

A good place to find scripts is this one: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/User_Written_Scripts You can also look in the scripting section of this forum.
If you don't need flash at all, just disable it with the Canon controls (it's on the right directional button usually). You can also set macro mode as you do without CHDK.

You should be able to disable the flash in the Canon menus.

Do you want the LCD off for power saving reasons? Then you should take a look at this:
