Can't adjust zoom after set_zoom()

Hi

--[[
@title Set zoom
--]]
print(get_zoom())
set_zoom(19)
sleep(1000)
print(get_zoom())

This simple script shows "0", then sets zoom to 19, and then prints this 19. Runs fine. But after running this script, the camera's zoom keys don't work anymore. I can go in/out the ALT menu, take shots, everything works, but changing zoom in any direction  is not possible.

Model: Canon SX150 IS
CHDK: 1.1.0-2079

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I forgot to mention that turning off & on the camera fixes the problem fortunately.

I know it doesn't help you much,  but some cameras have problems with the set_zoom() command.  Here's a forum thread on the topic : http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=7071.0

Might be unrelated to this problem though.

Hi Waterwingz.

Fortunately my camera does not shut down.

But I found good ideas in the script you linked, thanks. So I finished my script, even if it kills zoom. My script is for setting zoom by left/right/up/down in +-10 and +-1 steps (I need this for my DIY-bookscanner, to set previous zoom position easily if camera turns off).

Another guy in another thread has EXACTLY the same problem like me, different camera:

I detected the same bug in A495 100f, it is solved if CAM_USE_ALT_SET_ZOOM_POINT and CAM_USE_ALT_PT_MoveOpticalZoomAt,
but a495 uses propset3, then it is necessary to add the following line to propset3.h
Code: [Select]
#define PROPCASE_DIGITAL_ZOOM_MODE          91     // Digital Zoom Mode/State 0 = off/standard, 2 = 1.4x/1.5x, 3 = 2.3x/2.0x
Waterwingz tried to test this property sometime ago (posted here),  but his camera seems to have additional problems with zoom.
Could anyone with propset3 camera check prop 91 (DIGITAL_ZOOM_MODE) in his camera?
Thanks
