props=require("propcase")
pTV=props.TV
pTV2=props.TV2
Looks like props.TV2 is only defined for propsets 4 & 5.    From philmoz's comments,  its needed to update the EXIF values in the JPG with the actual override value used.   I'll test to see what happens with my propcase 2 & 3 cameras.

Okay, I've tried it several times, but no go. The meteor script runs, but it's stuck in German. When I go into the ALT menu, the Default script should already be listed as ready to run, right? Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here's the latest instructions I could find.

Just out of curiosity, are the files "translated" to English after this works? If so, can someone upload the translated version from their camera?
Almost all strings used in CHDK are referenced by a number.  To display a sting, the CHD code uses that number to look up the actual string to be printed from the language files. You can see those files in the CHDK/LANG directory on you SD card.

Try adding the check for nil. I had that in there originally, but never had a camera to test it with.

I was just going to see if I could determine the propcase version from within the script.  Probably need to not do the set_prop(pTV2,tv96val) either.

Okay, found my problem. I wasn't actually "running" the script. I was loading it without pressing the shutter button. It's always the simple things that trip us up, LOL.  :D

By setting pTV2=pTV, you're just doing set_prop twice. That's not a problem.

Or, instead of the first nil test, you could do:

if(pTV2~=nill)then set_prop(pTV2,tv96val) end

This is the result from my continuous drive script test. It worked, although there was too much light pollution and clouds to have any chance of seeing a meteor. If the weather cooperates, I'll see if I can try again in a darker place for the next meteor shower.

I did do some dark frames using the lens cap, but there were NO hot pixels with the G1X. I've never seen them in any dark frames or night photos I've taken so far, although the SX260 shots are peppered with hot pixels at night. I think the noise reduction software in the G1X must be removing them. I'm not even sure it does automatic dark frames with long exposures. I'll have to test that. But it looks like the G1X will be a superb night camera.

The later choice is probably cleaner should anyone stumble on the script some time in the future.

Hi I tried the dark frame shooter script but the camera comes up with an error message:

***STARTED***
:41: native calls disabled
***TERMINATED***

I have a Canon G1X with chdk installed.  Ver 1.2.0 rev 3229

Do I have the wrong ver of chdk? Or is there a setting that I should enable to get native calls enabled?

Go to the Miscellaneous Stuff menu and check the Enable Lua Native Calls option.
