@c_joerg

I remember you did a lot of work looking at the 'resolution' of the Canon focus return, eg only in cm and not many of them.

I hope we find a way to at least count the steps between moves. This way we will at least be able to estimate the inbetween distances.

Fingers crossed ;-)

BTW this is what I do in my bracketing script, ie step forward until I've gone past where I wish to move to, take note of the focus position either side, ie where the Canon return changes, and step back using a simple linear interpolation. Crude maybe: but the best I can do at the moment.

and
:) M3M10M100_Focus.lua log told me, that fdl and fdu always change together to
former fdu = newer fdl.

I also got an assert (after half-shoot) on M100 while following the instructions, also BrtMthd.c. The cause might be prior execution of FA.Create and/or InitializeAdjustmentSystem.

Yes, InitializeAdjustmentSystem seems to cause instability on a lot of cams. You could probably call the function directly, I used the eventproc names so it didn't depend on cam/firmware version.

Thanks all for testing.

Thanks for pointing that out. Does seem like not very many...

Presumably ZoomPosSize also gives the number of zoom steps reported back to the firmware.

Can someone confirm if GetEFLensFocusPositionWithoutLensCom and GetEFLensFocusPositionWithLensCom return the same value as FocusPos? You should be able to just do like
Code: [Select]
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithoutLensCom'))
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithLensCom'))
If it returns -1, then it might need the FA.Create and/or InitializeAdjustmentSystem

I assume *WithLensCom* directly queries the lens, while the other uses some cached value. It might be useful to know when they differ.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

I haven't had a crash when using a script. Maybe coincidence

I have always to call both, otherwise i got -1.

I am a bit confused. There were some inexplicable values. Sometimes with crashes.

The following script on M3 with 15-45

Code: [Select]
call_event_proc('FA.Create')
call_event_proc('InitializeAdjustmentSystem')

call_event_proc("EFLensCom.FocusSearchNear")
sleep(500)
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithoutLensCom'))
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithLensCom'))

call_event_proc("EFLensCom.MoveFocus",1,10)
sleep(500)
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithoutLensCom'))
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithLensCom'))

call_event_proc("EFLensCom.MoveFocus",10,10)
sleep(500)
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithoutLensCom'))
print(call_event_proc('GetEFLensFocusPositionWithLensCom'))

@c_joerg I could get excited about the above as it looks reasonable to me, IF the following fits:

1. I'm not sure what focal length you ran the test at
2. I assume you started near the macro end and the counter was set at zero at that position
3. You then moved to the macro (near) end, by 314 steps, ie giving a count of -314
4, At the macro end the step count looks as if if hasn't 'stabilised', hence moving 10 didn't work out
5. Subsequent moves, by 10, appear to be stable
6. Finally you moved to the infinity end, ie steps from the start position being 633, ie 633+314 steps in total

But then again I could be 100% wrong ;-)
