Nice, thanks. I checked visually by building stubs and greping #define\s+MAX_CHUNKS_FOR_JPEG, didn't see any other mismatches.

Checked in.

Here's an updated patch with remoteshoot raw support

It requires updated chdkptp lua files, r939 or later from https://app.assembla.com/spaces/chdkptp/subversion/source/HEAD/trunk/lua

changes from the earlier version
* file type is now detected based on the name in the filewrite structure. We didn't use this before, so it could be wrong on some cameras, but it's only done on cameras with native raw so the impact should be limited.

chdkptp side
* now sets the raw/jpeg options as needed, so if you do -craw while the camera is set only to jpeg, it will switch to raw, and restore it after the shots are done.
* The -jpgdummy option is now -filedummy and creates cr2 and/or jpg files based on the selected formats (the old name is still accepted and does the same thing). I'm not sure if cams in raw only mode have the same crash that some do when the jpegs are mission.
* An unrelated bug that caused the -quick option to sometimes fail is fixed.

I've tested this on my cams and intend to check it in, but additional testing and feedback is welcome. I'd be particularly interested in cameras that use CAM_FILEWRITETASK_MULTIPASS without CAM_FILEWRITETASK_SEEKS (a495 a490 a3300 a3200 a800) since I don't have any those, and cameras with native raw.

It can be tested by running
Code: [Select]
chdkptp -e"exec require'camtests'.runbatch{shoot=true}"
Note the regular, non-remote shoot portion of the test may fail on cameras with native raw, if the camera isn't set to jpeg mode. I'll fix that after I get the other stuff checked in. fixed in chdkptp r940

The camera crashes right after the second shot (recreview appears on screen, LED lights up for half a second, then they go black).
A zero-byte jpeg remains on camera, one complete jpeg in camtest folder.

edit:
LED = card activity LED which blinks while a file is saved, it just lights up in this case, so it crashes early

Hmm. That's not good.

Can you try with FILEWRITE_DEBUG_LOG 1 ?

The romlog looks like it might be review related, what is the review setting?

Does the a3200 have continuous shooting enabled in the Canon menu? This was the generation of cam that had problems with cont, so init fails if it's on.

I made a build with that, but no new lines appeared in the romlog. The crash happened with review set to 2 seconds in Canon menu. Setting review to 'off' made the test succeed.

If the test is able to crash the camera, it would be useful to know how.

edit:
A simple rs -craw is enough to trigger the crash.

Great. That behavior from chdkptp isn't very friendly, but it's only a few cams...

Hm, assuming you're using the code from 5547 or later, it really should output something, but I guess at 2 seconds it might have all scrolled out of the log.

Agreed.  Review is usually not desirable with remote shoot, but it would definitely be better not to crash.

I assume rs -jpg does not?

What format was set in the Canon UI? I wonder if the crash could be related to forcing the propcases, so if it was on jpeg, you might try setting to raw only in the Canon UI.

I wasn't able to reproduce it on G7 X or a couple of my jpeg only cams with review enabled, but that's not too surprising.

I did some testing and found that the crash has nothing to do with remote shooting.
- there are no problems when review is off
- when review is on and the Canon UI is set to JPG, forcing craw with set_canon_image_format() results in crash after the next photo
- other combinations (jpg->raw+jpg, craw->jpg) do not seem to cause trouble
Could be a propset 2 thing or specific to G10.
Too bad that the review setting is only exposed as a param...

Thanks, good to know. My guess would be propset 2 and 3 which have raw as a resolution and "raw with jpeg" as a menu option.

@koshy
Can you try on g11:
In the Canon menu, set Review to 2s
In func menu, set image size to L (not RAW)
In chdkptp
rs -craw

Quote

Yeah, disabling review (by default at least) in remoteshoot would be nice generally, since it impacts shooting rate or even hangs if it's hold mode. The review setting is a prop (and settable) on later cams, at least from propset 5.

edit:
G11 100k build attached. You'll also need the latest lua files for chdkptp (no need to rebuild the executable)
I could make remoteshoot use the raw+jpeg setting for propset 2/3 cams. It would be a bit slower because the jpeg would still be encoded and discarded instead of being skipped.
