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.
