Beta v4
Have tested with a Ricoh CA-1 remote. Pretty much works, with 2-stage stepping, with sync enabled on CHDK. My findings are :
Able to "half" press shutter and get focus \ exposure and set override values set.
On shooting, takes the picture, though the camera display goes blank for 3-5 seconds then shows busy for 5 secs or so before going to preview or back to display depending on what has been set). Any ideas why this takes so long ? This is true for example when the shutter speed is set to 1/60th or other "fast" value. Pictures are exposed as per values for Tv and Av as expected. Its just the "black out" period the camera goes through.
If set to display hold after shooting, a half press does switches back to the live display. Fidley but works.
