Procedure is allways !Helperl.bas, see Reply #1, that´s working with all (cams without (key or zoom) issue, (SX700 etc.)).
I do use Zoom keys until crash (at once or later "accidently").
Yeah, I was afraid of that - an all-in-one ubasic script utilizing your language modifications.

Turns out there is an old thread dedicated to set_zoom (thx to waterwingz), with several test scripts.
Can we agree on using the following ones for stress testing: Lua script for cameras with only a few zoom steps and this modified script for cameras where the previous script gets stuck in a loop?

@ Replay 22 : 4) Subject distance (focus) is re-set to the stored value.
That value might be out of range now, refocus deshifting lenses until mechanical impossible.
-> blocking, Led Panic or even ugly noise. How to avoid that?
As far as I'm concerned, the firmware function we use is safe and does not cause lens damage. The camera is only instructed to set the focus to a certain distance - if it can't be done then the focus will just be elsewhere.
Do you have a camera that produces "ugly noise" after set_zoom or set_focus?

z4 + zoom_only test great now even if r=0.
Ork moved.
1st. fast approach to modyfy testscript for next stage.
Running it with click line I got Gromlog...

& Sorry, timeout till monday.
Btw. ubasic: no modifations here, they wouldn´t help here either.

What's the zoom_only test?

zoomin() can set a negative zoom which is probably not what you want. I'm also not sure whether messing with shoot_half (and aflock) right before/after calling set_zoom is a good idea: the firmware initiated focus adjustment can clash with the CHDK initiated focus adjustment.

zoom_only: Megaautofocus has no complication by keys or focus...
Testfiles are growing between debugging and rebugging, reacting to messages.
Neg. zoom is probably ignored, not disturbing here.
Script is beautyfied by more switches and logging now. Never ready, for sure.
Set_aflock seems the good idea here, click absolut not.
"ugly noise" after strange gymnastics only. Not quite easy to reproduce, but no need...

I came up with this patch, testing a theory. Test builds for sx210 and sx230 101b are attached.
The change, compared to ztest4, is that set_zoom won't attempt focusing when servo AF or continuous AF is active.
Any crashes when using these builds? I can't get my sx280 to crash either using a vanilla build or with this mod.

 ;) Ork comes in focus...

SX230 + !helperl.bas runs for the 1st time ever, no )(, no crash, few buts in other tests...
Ixus230HS is interesting, )( only, Autozum runs without crash in all settings, r=0.
/TEST/mftest.lua I found very useful to split focus from zoom issue.

So, does that mean, ztest5 does not crash when doing set_zoom exercises? Same question for sx210.

You uploaded a lot of other things, I'll only address some of them now.
mftest only needs to be run to determine whether subject distance override is effective in three different modes:
- without any focus lock
- with AF lock enabled
- in MF mode

Setting the camera to manual focus mode requires that the port implements DoMFLock() and UnlockMF() correctly in platform/(camera)/wrappers.c . If the implementation is incorrect, the set_mf script command may not work.

If the camera crashes in one of the above mentioned modes, platform/(camera)/platform_camera.h needs to be changed accordingly by removing one of the following defines
Code: [Select]
    #define CAM_SD_OVER_IN_AF               1
    #define CAM_SD_OVER_IN_AFL              1
    #define CAM_SD_OVER_IN_MF               1Once these adjustments are done, running mftest should not be necessary.

From your test runs, the sx210 and sx230 tends to crash when the camera's focus is not locked. These ports therefore already disable CAM_SD_OVER_IN_AF.

I see the sx240 crashed once after mftest activated set_mf. Can you check whether "safety mf" is enabled in the Canon menu?
This camera also seems to have succeeded setting focus in AF lock (when the script was set to bypass interlocks), but the port currently has
Code: [Select]
    #define CAM_SD_OVER_IN_AF                   1
    #define CAM_SD_OVER_IN_MF                   1I wonder why...

 :D sx210 & sx230:
Both cams passed : !Helperl.bas + oldUbasic + auto-mode + poointAF + md_detect + set_zoom + shooting.
& autozum4 with possible switches.

sx240 : safety mf probably doesn´t matter, both fails to same log.

PS: sx230 : Once I got a motion Vector romlog instead of testshot ??

A user also reported this to me on sx130 recently.

Thanks, I guess that's a yes.
Note that this change is solely about set_zoom and doesn't affect anything else.

That's annoying. How come the defines for sx240 and sx260 (same port essentially) are almost completely wrong. Someone must have tested them earlier...?

@reyalp
Do you have something against adding this patch (I mean the core/shooting.c and include/camera.h part)? It's possible that it could be made better, but I'm not sure how.
The reason I came up with it is that I noticed that many of the set_zoom crashes happen in focus related parts of the firmware. The firmware variable failing a check was suspiciously close to what we call focus_busy. So I thought, instead of waiting blindly for an arbitrary amount of time, why not check for focus_busy? I'm assuming some of the routines we use for setting zoom also adjust focus which can clash with our focus setting attempt in shooting_set_zoom(). I added checks for PROPCASE_CONTINUOUS_AF and PROPCASE_SERVO_AF to hopefully avoid a situation where focus_busy remains busy for extended time, plus these modes adjust focus on their own anyway.
