45ms shutter-lag. :)



Drools, can't wait till that gets released for my camera.

Solved the problems with `continuous shooting' in all circumstances, so no problems
for all ISO levels, if using RAW or not, it all works without trigger delay at all (one caveat:
on my camera). Just added the complementary test with propcase 205/206.
Here it is.
Code: [Select]
@title MD LightningB
@param a Columns
@default a 6
@param b Rows
@default b 4
@param c Threshold (0-255)
@default c 10
@param d Compare Interval (ms)
@default d 0
@param e Trigger Delay (0.1 s)
@default e 0
@param f Time-out Period (s)
@default f 3600
@param g Pix-Step(speed/accuracy adj)
@default g 6
@param h Measure Mode(1-Y 0-U 2-V)
@default h 1
@param i Direct Shoot (0=N 1=Y)
@default i 1
print " compare interval",d
print " trigger delay   ",e
print " direct shoot    ",i
e=e*100
f=f*1000
while 1
  press "shoot_half"
rem use 205 for DigiII
  do
    get_prop 206 p
  until p=1
  md_detect_motion a, b, h, f, d, c, 1, t, 0, 1, 1, a, b, i, g, e
  if i=0 then click "shoot_full"
rem the next loop is endless if AE lock is activated, use 205 for DigiII
  do
    get_prop 206 p
  until p<>1
wend
end
Also cleaned up some of the parameters and printed those that are of relevance
for time from detection to shot. The other parameters do not influence this time.
Now it only remains to be seen if this 3 buffer idea can be implemented in a way
that does improve timing, which is not the case at the moment.

Edit: corrected typo in script

wow, so much brainstorming for shooting pics when it's thunderstorming :D
will definitly try your scripts this weekend. with your scripts it should be possible to take pictures of licenseplates of speeding cars, we could be the small town police, especially since you can even calculate how fast (too fast? charge him $! :D) a car passes by. terrific job y'all did here :)

Keep in mind that the spurious ones (both speedy and laggy ones) may be just the operating system / drivers acting up by lagging and then drawing stuff from buffers or skipping something entirely. I think I'll modify my LED blinker gadget a bit to suit MD benchmarking to have something I can trust 100% and something to compare the lightning test PC software to.

Well, don't lose too much saliva over the issue.  :D

Here's the odd thing, after I got some rest I thought I'd see if other settings got it to go even faster. Danged if I could get it to reproduce those 45ms speeds! Best I could do was 60ms, using both methods of triggering (Direct Shoot = 0 or 1). I must have changed something or used a different ISO or ... who knows.





I had the same thing happen with my 80ms shots. I changed to allbest and back and I cant get better then 120ms. I had all my settings written down so either theres something missing or I have gremlins.
