Hi everyone...
I'm not sure if this question will be OK in this section...
I've build a remote trigger for my camera (sd500), enabled the remote option in the script menu, started the script,
then, when i try to take some pictures nothing happen... does this means that ixus700 has no support for remote triggering yet?
I started with a safety 3 volts cell battery (for testing purposes), then upgraded to a 6 volts battery because I've read that some cameras worked with 4.5volts or plus (6 volts was the first option available for me
but again the same negative result.
when I displayed the
"Misc Values" under debug option, the camera showed the following:
Case 1: Remote trigger untouched or camera disconnected from the PC (iddle)Camera Modes:
| Review | Auto | Manual | Scene | Video |
1: 1b
2: affe

Case 2: Remote trigger pressed or camera connected to a PCCamera Modes:

As far as i see, the camera recognize when I press the remote trigger because the values "1:" change from case 1 to case 2 and back again when I release the trigger (this worked fine with 3 and 6 volts batteries)
Is it possible to enable this feature for this camera ? or There's something wrong in my testings?
Chdk version: Allbest, ixus700_sd500_101a, release 37
The script used...
@title Remote button
:loop
wait_click 1
is_key k "remote"
if k=1 then shoot
goto "loop"
endthen
do
do
a = get_usb_power
until a>0
if a>0 then print a
until is_key "set"
end
Thanks in advance for any help...
