Something to test with your S90 a) assign the "Sleep" (ZZzz) function to the PRINT/SHORTCUT buton from the Canon menu, this way you can disable the display & the sensor electronics completely to save power. The camera will "wake up" again after an image is captured, any button is pressed or the camera is moved...
b) With this, set up the camera, e.g. to Av mode, MF on, focus set manually - capture a test image...c) Now press PRINT for ~ 1s to enter power safe mode, display & sensor will be disabled nowd) Press PRINT, the cam awakes, MF mode is disabled - but the distance settings should still be set -> do not press any button or change any setting, don't press the shutter in this sep !e) Activate MF again with the corresponding buttonNow the cam should use the focus distance you've set before...If this scenario is working, a script which emulates these steps should be not a big problem...
(is there a way to set this by default for any thread I create or post in? I looked in the profile but didn't see a setting)
Right now I am using this button on my S90 to enter the ALT mode, how would I get to that mode if I reassigned this button (or am I misunderstanding this?)
So are you saying that since the script won't press any buttons MF should stay at infinity?
But what if the script executes a half-shoot? Isn't that equivalent to pressing a button?

You can set any CHDK override either from the CHDK menu or with the corresponding script menu;when you've set an override, e.g. a fix Tv value, this setting will always be used while CHDK is running (and the override is active).
