Are there: PressSw1AndAF and set_focus_mode()?

Are there any PressSw1AndAF or set_focus_mode() for the SX40HS?

Using lua, this will get me into MF mode:

post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF")

But after that, I need to switch back to AF.

Is there a post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndAF")?
or a set_focus_mode()? I know there is a get_focus_mode().

PressSw1AndAF does appear to be a valid levent on D10
Code: [Select]
con> =return get_levent_def('PressSw1AndAF')
1:return:'PressSw1AndAF'
1:return:2393
1:return:3
I have no idea if it will do what you want. AFAIK there is no CHDK script function to set focus mode, outside of using key presses.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

With the SX40HS-100i in AF mode, I ran this:

print("Switch to MF")
post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF")
sleep(1000)
set_focus(-1) -- infinity
sleep(1000)
shoot()
sleep(1000)
print("Switch to AF")
post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndAF")

It goes into MF, takes the shot but then it stays in MF.
So it looks like there is no way out of MF other than key presses :(

Try calling 'post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF")' a second time to switch back (instead of 'post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndAF")').

Did this:

print("Switch to MF")
post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF")
sleep(1000)
set_focus(-1) -- infinity
sleep(1000)
shoot()
sleep(1000)
print("Switch to AF")
sleep(1000)
post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF")


But still stuck in MF  :( I have seen this before in a lua script but it doesn't seem to work in the SX40HS.

Per previous discussions, turning the display off and on should clear MF. I'd guess you could do that with click('display') a few times
Don't forget what the H stands for.

It works on my SX40 - switches to MF, takes the shot then switches back to AF before the script ends.

Edit: - works on the G1X as well.

The problem was that the camera was in  image "Review: Hold".  ???
It needs to be in "Review: Off".
Using post_levent_for_npt("PressSw1AndMF")  twice in the script does work.
Thanks guys!

Now need to bypass "Review: Hold" in the lua script.
