Hello folks, please could anyone help me with a surely beginners problem I have?
I have a Canon SX200IS, which, when I set the ISO-value by normal menu, will remember the ISO value until next time I start the camera. In practice: I turn on the camera, set MANUAL mode, the camera shows eg. ISO 80. Now I set ISO to eg. 400. Then I turn off the cam and when turning on again the camera remembered the ISO value and shows ISO 400.
Now here is my problem: Can I set the camera values via script so that the camera remebers the value? I wrote my first working script that takes some pictures with different ISO values, but:
When the ISO is eg. 80 when starting the script the camera falls back to that "initial" ISO 80 after every picture taken, my script sets every ISO value properly, but at the end the camera is set to the ISO value where it was before.
What I am trying to achieve: I want to make scripts, that put the camera into specified states that will be kept even after the script finished, so that the value shows up in the cameras menu and thus will be the valid value when I take photos without using a script.
Is this possible?
Thank you very much!
Here is my script that sets the ISO value temporarily for ech photo taken but does not really set the ISO value:
-------- ISO is set to e.g. 80
@title Press shutter
@param c ammount_pics
@default c 5
cls
for J=1 to c
get_iso giso
print "Got ISO ", giso
set_iso J
shoot
cls
sleep 500
next J
end
------ ISO is still 80, but why?
