I have this below for SDM and it works perfectly, now I just need to know what to put in there to make it repeat till I shut it off,
Thanks,


rem SDM balloon photo/movie script
@param p number of photos per batch
@default p 3
@param i interval between photos (secs)
@default i 60
@param m length of movie (secs)
@default m 60

sync_off
while 1
   for i = 1 to p
      sleep_for_seconds i
      shoot
   next i
   sleep 500
   shoot_movie_for m
wend

Nothing. Once started (by pressing the shutter button in 'Alt' mode), it will repeat until either the battery runs out, the card fills up or you press the shutter button again.

Just did another test and after the script runs it's course, it seems to stop.

It does the pics, changes to video, does that, back to manual mode and stops

Actually, there's a bug in your script - you're using the variable i as a parameter AND as a loop control variable. Try this:
Code: [Select]
rem SDM balloon photo/movie script
@param p number of photos per batch
@default p 3
@param i interval between photos (secs)
@default i 60
@param m length of movie (secs)
@default m 60

sync_off
while 1
   for j = 1 to p
      shoot
      sleep_for_seconds i
   next j
   shoot_movie_for m
   sleep 500
wend
end
