The documentation for the lua language can be found on the lua site: Lua: documentation
The documentation for the CHDK interface to lua is a bit scattered at the moment.
You can start here: LUA - CHDK Wiki

Basically, there's a function for all of the ubasic script commands. Unfortunately, the ubasic documentation is a bit scattered too, because different commands were introduced in different branches, and they haven't all been merged together yet.
The following links should cover most of it:
UBASIC/TutorialScratchpad - CHDK Wiki
CHDK/MoreBest - CHDK Wiki

i modified the script to keep the shuter open as long as esposure is set, then to zoom out to initial.i manage to get result for the second part. seems like i miss something to get the tv value and keep the shuter open. i think is the get_tv command. any advice is wellcome:


max_zoom = get_zoom_steps() - 1
 
if get_zoom() ~= 0 then
  sleep(500)
  set_zoom(0)
  sleep(500)
end
 
get_tv = t
press("shoot_half")
repeat
  sleep(1)
until get_shooting() == true
press("shoot_full")
sleep(100)
set_zoom(max_zoom)

repeat
sleep(1)
t = t-1
until t = 0
 
release("shoot_full")

  sleep(500)
  set_zoom(0)
  sleep(500)

Well... get_tv doesn't return seconds (it returns something else and it may be different for different cameras... tv96 is probably equal for all cameras, its in apex96(?) units) and sleep sleeps in milliseconds except that it's always in 10 ms minimum and 10 ms increments.

i tried to change the script for starting with maximum zoom and then zoom out during exposure.  the problem is that camera loks after zooming in. i tried also with set_zoom_speed and same result. any ideas?

max_zoom = get_zoom_steps() - 1
 
if get_zoom() ~= max_zoom then
  set_zoom(max_zoom)
  sleep(500)
end
 
press("shoot_half")
repeat
  sleep(1)
until get_shooting() == true
press("shoot_full")
sleep(100)
set_zoom(0)
 
repeat
  sleep(1)
until get_shooting() ~= true
 
release("shoot_full")
release("shoot_half")

i mean after zooming-in the camera shuts off, the lens remains unretracted. i need to press the on/off button.
