Hi all,
I use a canon A590is with remote.bas script, triggering the camera via remote cable.
I use a 12V external battery and 7A with a 3V converted to operate the camera.
The script stays on while the camera is active, the problem is that at 5 hours of operation, the camera turns itself off leaving the lens extended.
Checked the battery voltage is more than enough to keep running.
Do you have a ceiling CHDK uptime? With a battery of these features the camera should keep running for many hours.
There is code to prevent shutdown of the camera until the battery runs out.
thank you very much
Luis
