ISO MODE

Confused...again
The Lua Xref says:

Quote
get_iso_mode

    obtain ISO mode (the former get_iso)

    Eg. the A620 list
    0-> Auto "
    50-> 50 "
    100-> 100,
    200-> 200,
    400-> 400,

When I use get_iso_mode() I get 7 returned, when the cam ISO is set to 400.

It's driving me insane  ;)

    {  3,  200,  "200", -1},
    {  4,  400,  "400", -1},
};         

1 or 2 or 3 or 4 = 7  :haha

@Caefix

So, if I'm seeing 7, what ISO does that indicate?

Eg

Code: [Select]
local iso = get_iso_mode()
print("ISO "..iso)

OK, for my M3 things look like this:

Code: [Select]
const ISOTable iso_table[] = {
{  0,    0, " Auto", -1},
{  1,  100,   "100", -1},
{  2,  125,   "125", -1},
{  3,  160,   "160", -1},
{  4,  200,   "200", -1},
{  5,  250,   "250", -1},
{  6,  320,   "320", -1},
{  7,  400,   "400", -1},
{  8,  500,   "500", -1},
{  9,  640,   "640", -1},
{ 10,  800,   "800", -1},
{ 11, 1000,  "1000", -1},
{ 12, 1250,  "1250", -1},
{ 13, 1600,  "1600", -1},
{ 14, 2000,  "2000", -1},
{ 15, 2500,  "2500", -1},
{ 16, 3200,  "3200", -1},
{ 17, 4000,  "4000", -1},
{ 18, 5000,  "5000", -1},
{ 19, 6400,  "6400", -1},
{ 20, 8000,  "8000", -1},
{ 21,10000, "10000", -1},
{ 22,12800, "12800", -1},
};

Sp 7 is ISO 400 :-)

Found that in CHDKplus.Lua, might help,  :-[ , or need to reproduce as a Lua table...

function format_sv(val)
    if ( val == nil ) then return("-") end
    return( ((iso_real_to_market(sv96_to_iso(val))+5)/10)*10 )
end

@Caefix

I’m ok now.

I had a glitch in my code that was throwing me, ie no matter what ISO I started with, the first image was always at ISO 100.

Once I tracked down my ‘error’, things run as expected.

All ok now and so to bed  :)

Cheers

The Lua Xref says:

That seems wrong, as noted in the replies, it actually returns an arbitrary, camera-specific id, not the ISO value. I updated the wiki to reflect this.

FWIW, if you want to get / set by ISO value, you can use just use the propcase props.ISO_MODE. The one caveat is that it's up to you to ensure the value is one of the values available from the Canon UI for your camera. Setting other values (80 on a camera where base ISO is 100, or an in between value like 123) may crash or cause other unexpected behavior.

@reyalp

I educated myself by looking at the CHDK C source.

Now I understand that I can use the id or the ISO value.

Looking at the C source for set_iso_mode, it seems you can use either id or the ISO and the code finds the closest ISO in the table, of ISO used.

Get_iso_mode returns the id only.

Yes, that seems correct. Thanks.
Serves me right for only looking at the code for get. Wiki updated again  :haha
