SX110 time lapse

Time lapses on my SX110 work fine, but how do I change the zoom since the camera always starts zoomed-out and can't be changed during the time lapse in progress

You can simulate zoom button presses from script.

Don't forget what the H stands for.

I can't help you with your question, but I've got a question for you. I've got a SX110IS too, but I can't find the function "Time Lapse", could you say me how I can use this future? Or do I need to download something extra?

Thanks,

Patrick

@Gralof
You can set/change the zoom in a script --> http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/UBASIC/TutorialScratchpad#Camera_Operation_Commands

@Byte
Use any intervalometer script, like this or this one; then process the images with a adequate software, e.g. with VirtualDub...[/quote]

Oh.. I thought it was some kind of function in the menu of chdk on my camera. Anyway; it works flawless! Yesterday I made a time lapse of some clouds, it looks cool :)

I already searched it on the forum, but couldn't find much. The problem is my battery... if I'm doing a time lapse the LCD screen is on the whole time, which needs a lot of battery. So I can't do long time lapses. Is there a script to get the LCD off while making a time lapse?


Thanks,

Patrick

Patrick,
you'll find some more hints here:  http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,1768.0.html

..there's also the set_backlight command to disable the LCD backlight after a shot.

Hi Fe50,

Again thank you for your reply. The time lapse part of your script does work on my camera, but I can't get it to sleep.
I'm doing exactly what you say:
- Take first picture
- Wait 2s
- Press print and hold it 1.5s, release it. If I do this, the LCD screen doesn't get black. It just goes continious with the script -> taking the next picture.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

It's all written in those old thread, pls. read again ;)

- Canon's "sleep" ("ZZzz") feature must be referenced to the PRINT button from the Canon menu
- no need for pressing any keys -  the script itself "press" the key, virtually, while it is running...

So - set up the PRINT key reference from the Canon menu, load the script (from http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,1768.msg17693.html#msg17693) & run it.
The Script may need to be adapted for other camera models, e.g. the sleep values...

The method described there is only used for cameras on those where the display can not be disabled with the DISP button (AFAIK all/most of the cameras without an optical viewfinder).
