What exactly should be changed in the original SX30/S5 .bas file in order for the script to work on SX20. Excuse me for the lame question,but I`m not quite familiar with script modding.

Here is how I modified the script for my SX20 back in April - comparison of modified script with the original S5 version:

Original section of code from "DOFstack_S5.bas" (lines 67-72)

Code: [Select]

if F<=11 then let f = (362*F+60000)/1000
if (F>11 and F<=41) then let f = (1900*F+43100)/1000
if (F>41 and F<=64) then let f = (4000*F-43000)/1000
if (F>64 and F<=86) then let f = (9227*F-377584)/1000
if (F>86 and F<=105) then let f = (10421*F-480190)/1000
if F>105  then let f = (4614*F+129543)/1000

Modified for SX20

Code: [Select]

if F<=11 then let f = ((F*10455)/100 + 5000)/100
if (F>11 and F<=41) then let f = (((F-11)*21533)/100 + 6190)/100
if (F>41 and F<=64) then let f = (((F-41)*54913)/100 + 12610)/100
if (F>64 and F<=86) then let f = (((F-64)*91955)/100 + 25240)/100
if (F>86 and F<=105) then let f = (((F-86)*107421)/100 + 45470)/100
if F>105  then let f = (((F-105)*148348)/100 + 65880)/100

Hi. Which amendment would have to be made to work in the SX50? I am interested in macro shots, and then do the stack of photos, someone could help me? Thanks.

Hi Mark,

I made this script for my SX50.
If you want to stop the script before "infinity focus" just press "shoot" again.
The camera has to be in Manual Focus mode.

Attached is an example of a stack made with the SX50 combined with a Raynox MSN202 (no crop)

Code: [Select]

rem Focus bracketing
rem s focus distance
rem f focal length
rem a fnumber
rem c circle of confusion
@title SX50 Focus bracketing by Leif Karlsson
@param p Max number of steps 
@default p 300
@default c 5

sleep 2000

  for r=1 to p
   shoot
   get_focus s
   get_zoom f
   get_av n
   a=100*(s-f)/(f+n*c)
   b=100*2*s*f/(f*f+s*n*c-n*c*f)
   d=a*b/10000
   g=s+d/8
   set_focus g
   print g,d
   if g>50000 then r=p
   if d<0 then r=p
  next r

end

I made this script for my SX50. The camera has to be in Manual Focus mode.

Using CHDK 1.3.0, the SX50 will focus manually if you add this line to the start of the script :

Code: [Select]

set_mf 1That way you don't need to remember to manually put the camera into Canon MF mode.

You will probably want to to add this just before the end statement as well :

Code: [Select]

set_mf 0

Thank you skrylten, for their great help. Your photos are very clear, I will use your script

And waterwingz your tip is interesting, thanks.
I'm new in this world of CHDK and also with the Canon SX50.

I've looked at the original script carefully, and I don't understand how it works with a close focus adapter (e.g. the Raynox).

There is no parameter or code that I can see to reflect the presence (or absence) of such a lens?!

Code: [Select]

grep "@param" DOFstack\ S5.bas 
@param t Delay for first shot [s] 
@param d Near focus dist [mm] 
@param q Far focus dist [mm]
@param c Circle of Confusion [um]
