setting the camera mode

Hi all,

Is it possible to set the camera mode?  For example, if your dial is currently set to Tv and you want to be Av when running a script, can your script automatically set the mode?


Thanks,

Walter

Yes. See http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Script_commands#set_capture_mode.28modenum.29

If using lua, you are encouraged to use capmode.lua so you can refer to them by name. E.g.
capmode=require("capmode")
capmode.set("AV")

Don't forget what the H stands for.

Thanks, I am working on implementing that into my script.

I am seeing a playsound command.  I want to alert the operator that the camera cannot save pictures because the battery is low or there is no space.  I think I might be able to find that on that page too.

Another question I have off-hand is how do you comment your scripts?

Do you want to know how comment looks in uBasic / LUA ?

LUA:
Code: (lua) [Select]
-- I'm a useless comment ;-)
print("Hello World")
-- more comment spam
uBASIC:
Code: [Select]
rem I'm a useless comment ;-)
print "Hello World"
rem more comment spam
You can find more examples in CHDK/SCRIPTS folder or wiki.
