Hi! First, I have looked at set_tv and its variants. Looked at scripts and the APEX system wiki.
Here is an extract from the manual
>>
Factor --- Select shutter-speeds by decimal equivalents. (Extremely valuable for analytic and research photography needs.)
Value factor = OFF, 1/100K, 1/10000, 1/1000, 1/100, 1/10, 1, 10, 100
The final shutter speed will be the product of "Value factor" times the "Override shutter speed value".
Example: If you wish to use a shutter speed of 1/50,000th of a second, you select an Override Shutter Speed Value of 2, and a Value Factor of 1/100K. (2/100,000 = 1/50,000)
>>>
I guess if the menu allows us to set shutter speed in simpler terms i.e. 1/100 is simply factor of 1 and value factor of 1/100, then why do we need to use the TV tables for setting the shutter ?
Could we not put the menu code in a small subroutine and implement it as a set_shutter_value and a set_shutter_value_factor ?
:-( Could not really figure out how to use the set_tv and set_tv96 commands for implementing a fixed shutter of 1/100 ..
