And since I kinda need the script to always run, I'm always in ALT mode and the rest of the buttons should do their usual thing, because of that I found some things:
Playback button doesn't seem detectable.
When ALT mode is off the script still runs/detects keys but it doesn't always block the original function. With ALT off, in record mode it doesn't block but in preview mode it does which was really confusing at first... not really a question, just an observation.
Is it possible to invoke the CHDK menu from a script?
As I want to have my script auto-start but then I can't use the CHDK menu without first stopping the script, and then I can't start the script without restarting the camera (because of the broken shutter button); currently I have it to start on ALT.
Limiting auto-exposure?The camera is really slow in dark scenes as it tries to increase exposure, but it actually over-exposes making my pictures unnecessarily bright and blurry (because hand held and no image stabilization), any way I can limit the auto exposure in a way that affects the live preview too?
Trigger white balance evaluation?Any better way to trigger it? Navigating the menus with the script seems really awkward and unreliable.
I'm making a lua script to fix my A1200's broken shutter button by rebinding it to zoomin/out.
It wasn't in the wiki/ButtonNames and the way that page is phrased suggests those are the only key names I can use.
Also, ALT is on "face" and the script seems to still detect that though.
CHDK delays the camera startup quite noticeably, is there anything I can do to minimize that delay?
Or, maybe I can make some kind of sleep state for the camera...
btw, turning off the LCD with a script doesn't close the shutter like camera's LCD toggle does, is there any battery usage difference if it's left open?
And a script doing stuff every 250ms (wait_click(150) + sleep(100) afterwards) be of any noticeable impact to the camera's battery as opposed to having wait_click() without a timeout?
