Crash motionvector with long running script (split from A3300 porting)

Just a note to document that my A3300IS stops at random intervals (2hrs to 2 days) while running the selective interval script.  Multiple power supply options have been tried.  I have 4 other cameras running with no issues to document a construction project at my home.  The camera simply shuts down without retracting the lens.  Power draw goes to zero.  No permanent damage to the camera occurs.

I'm running a3300-100d-1.3.0-4169.  CHDK is started using the firmware update method.

Sadly, this is the best of my cheap craigslist cameras, but this issue renders it useless for the project.

This note is here in case someone else can confirm this as a bug and not a single camera issue.  Unfortunately, it'll be a tough one to find if it is.

Check if the camera generates a crash log: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Debugging#Camera_crash_logs_.28romlog.29 and post here if it does.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Did you try dumping a ROMLOG using the CHDK debug menu and looking to see if the date / time in the log matched the time the camera stopped?.  If so, can you attach the ROMLOG to a post here?

Thanks. CHDK doesn't intentionally do anything with this task, so it doesn't provide much information. That doesn't mean CHDK isn't ultimately to blame, it just doesn't give us much to go on.

Are you using the script from http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Selective_Intervalometer ? If your are using another variant, please give a link to the specific script.

If you can find any pattern to what the camera is doing when the crash happens (does it happen right when it tries to shoot, or in between shots, or randomly) that might provide some clue.


edit:
It would also be useful to know if you get the same romlog every time it crashes. You can just look for the

If you see something different, post it.

It hangs using that script.  The romlog I posted was using a slight modification to that script (it shuts the display off immediately after each shot.)  I'll switch back to the one above for future debugging.

The crash appears random and not associated with actual shooting, as far as I can tell.  I recall (perhaps incorrectly) it dying in in the night while not taking pictures.  I was focused on possible power supply issues and not on CHDK or script execution at the time.  I'm traveling for the next few days so updates may be delayed.

I had one more thought, I checked the timestamp on the pictures taken before the crash associated with the previously listed romlog.  The camera was taking pictures once a minute, and the timestamps were occurring at the change of minute (windows properties of modified at :00 and created at :01.)  The last created at 13:15:01, which is 9 seconds before the romlog listed crash time of 13:15:10.  It would appear this is not related to shutter activation.

@davedude

Try deactivating anything that is related to face detection or tracking:
- blink detection
- servo AF
Set AF frame to center and use P mode.

Despite all this, the issue will probably persist - the cause is unknown and I'm not aware of a solution.

- blink detection
- servo AF
Set AF frame to center and use P mode.

blink detection is off
servo - unknown, no longer at camera location
AF frame is center
mode is P

I've left the camera running  for the next few days in alt mode with the script _not_ running to see if it related to script execution or not.

Updating..  Servo is off.

The camera ran 2+ days without crashing in alt mode without a script running.  Not definitive, but perhaps indicative.

However, another one of my cameras which was running over the weekend crashed in a similar manner.   This looks like it is not a specific port issue.

This camera is running ixus115_elph100hs-100c-1.3.0-4169

Same settings (no servo, no blink, AF frame center...)

I will run the standard selective interval script tomorrow in the A3300 and see what happens.

I also had an A3000 stop over the weekend during an overnight.  The romlogerr.txt says: Log is not Saved.  Might just be a power glitch, let's stay focused on the motionvector issue for now.
