Shows that this camera sets movie_status 6 while in video mode (and oops, i misspelled movie in the log :[), but not recording, so it should have #define CAM_HAS_MOVIE_DIGEST_MODE 1  even though it doesn't actually have movie digest. We should probably rename this define... S100 is similar, except is actually has movie digest. Powershot N appears to have movie modes (VIDEO_STD and VIDEO_SPEED), and needs CAM_HAS_MOVIE_DIGEST_MODE since movie_status is 6 in these modes.
Will you make the necessary additions to the three platform_camera.h files?  TIA.

The script tried to use shoot_full to start the video. Since it took stills, I assume the camera has a different way of starting recording, but I guess it doesn't have a physical video button, so CAM_HAS_VIDEO_BUTTON is not defined. Can video recording be started with script at all on this cam?
Video starts/stops via an always present touchscreen button.  Have not looked at using video much though - will do so when the battery recharges.

I added code to kbd.c for the IXUS310 to simulate a physical video button and respond to KEY_VIDEO presses from scripts.

This should work for the N as well.

For reference,  the sx50hs passes all tests.

patch for a810, and test results after apply the patch in attachment.
Should CAM_IS_VID_REC_WORKS be included in A810 and models tested by waterwingz?

Yes, for all cameras the test script passes on. Thanks for catching that.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

The script is now included in the trunk SCRIPTS/TEST directory. Getting more cameras tested would be helpful.
I'm not really involved with video on these compacts but nafraf pointed me here so I'll help. The attached should take you a big leap ahead. When I looked at the screen I tried to denote failures in the file names but I'm sure I didn't always pay attention as I was fiddling with the next cam at times. I also put a few notes of encountered camera oddities into the file names. You'll see. Two cams crashed, ROMLOGs enclosed.

:xmas :xmas :xmas
Koshy had a little ELPH which wasn't white as snow but everywhere that Koshy went the ELPH was sure to go. (actually an SD, but that detail ruins the rhyme...)

Having used the same SD card on all cams for convenience (so that the test script would be configured without doing anything else on each subsequent cam) some settings related things slipped in...

For ixus120, the keyboard code is fine, KEY_PLAYBACK is the ALT key
For ixus800 KEY_PRINT is the ALT key

No problems with those two. Nafraf fixed I100 and I105.

My first port .. I should hope it would be fine.

As requested per PM retests for I30 and I40. there is a switch play / video / photo mode on either. I'm including results when set to both video and photo. In case of Photot no video gets recorded, two photos get taken.

For ixus120, the keyboard code is fine, KEY_PLAYBACK is the ALT key
My first port .. I should hope it would be fine.
Then I'm glad to have found that it was a glitch in what I was doing ;)
