Here you go :

Code: [Select]
@title Bokeh
print "Bokeh"
  shoot
  set_focus 20
  sleep 500
  shoot
print "done"
end

You will have to combine the pictures on your computer - its not possible to do with a CHDK script.

Also,  your camera might need to be in "P" mode rather than "Auto".

I'm afraid this does not work because the sx40 has a native MF mode. We must switch into the MF mode for set_focus. This only works with Lua.

Here is a sample script (not tested):

Code: [Select]
@title bokeh
@param f focus [mm]
@default f 20
]]

function switchAF_MF()
    post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF")
    sleep(500)
end

-- first shot
shoot()
Tv=get_tv96()
Av=get_av96()
repeat sleep(10) until get_shooting() ~= true

-- second shot
switchAF_MF()
set_tv96_direct(Tv)
set_av96_direct(Av)
set_focus(f)
shoot()
repeat sleep(10) until get_shooting() ~= true
switchAF_MF()

print("done")

Probably there is yet another problem with the minimum distance. See platform_camera.h for the SX40.
Code: [Select]
#define CAMERA_MIN_DIST                     95      // Override min subject distance

edit: script corrected, thx ww.

That explains why the uBASIC script works on my SD940 and not my G10.   Was going to look at that later today - I'll try your version.

Update :  tested your script -works on my G10.   The line that says

Code: [Select]
set_av96_direct(Av96)
should be

Code: [Select]
set_av96_direct(Av)

i changed code :sleep500  =sleep 1    and,test this script、in AV  MF mode About 85mm and edit in PS,look photo(this script‘s Interval time Seems to be useless 1 or 500 )

edit in PS
feel this Theory is right,but Shooting parameter and setting need to Research,to find best Combination in Portrait photography。

The sleep time is in milliseconds (one thousands of a second) so very short either way. It was there to give the camera a little time to focus before the second picture is taken.  It may not be needed ?

Please post your best results when you are finished.
