This is a little script for a enhanced tv mode. It should be work for all cams (with or without tv mode).
You can select a tv value from 64s to 1/10000s.
You can use the zoom while running the script.
You can select a focus mode.
Continuous shooting is possible.
the console menu:
[<-][->] select a tv value
[UP][DOWN] zooming
[DISP.] select a focus mode
[SET][Remote] shooting
[MENU] exit
In the script parameter menu you can adjust the start value of tv, the key delay und the shoot delay.
--[[
@title Tv mode universal
@param a integer value [Tv]
@default a 0
@param b key delay [ms]
@default b 80
@param c shoot delay [s]
@default c 0
