I have to thank the author of MD script, it makes photography of lightning very easy ... Here is a photo from my first use a slightly modified version of Fudgey's script .. S5IS

Code: [Select]

rem Fudgey's Fast/Slow/Video Motion Detector with masks.
rem Developed on A570IS by fudgey, but this version is not for A570IS.
rem This version is for Digic III cameras with a separate video button (e.g. S5IS)
rem Allbest build 34 or higher (or compatible md_detect_motion) is required for
rem fast/slow MD modes.
rem Digic II needs a small modification: "get_prop 206 P" -> "get_prop 205 P"

Very nice pics! Can I ask you what are the differences between yours and fudgey script and the parameters you used for taking those pictures (camera & script parameters)?
Thank you!
