Av&Tv Commands

That are very handy commands, thanks for finding out!
Now if we only could read out in "M" mode what the cam thinks are the best settings for Av and Tv, we could make a script where it sets the right values automatically for us. Since the CHDK I use "M" mode so much, because fixed aperture and time values are great if you use the histogram to get the optimal exposure. But it really bugs me that I have to try so much to get the right exposure, because the cam only tells me "-2" till "+2", but not the correct exposure right away. --Harvester 19:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Nice to see you guys finding those values for the these commands found in the source code (I'm still not sure about the MOD and CALL ones though, no reply to my questions about them on the main uBASIC talk page). I put the first list of values you people found in a table, because I couldn't see it properly formatted in my browswer. Then I checked into more Wiki formatting commands (found another nice total list here How to edit a page, and couldn't get the monospace (typewriter/tt) fonts working on my browser. Come to find out I had replaced that font in my settings. Oooops. Now the pre-formatted text shows up just fine. Should I undo the table I made or just leave it in case others can't display a monospace font properly?

MOD is just the name of reminder (%). CALL is not used at all. -- GrAnd 07:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the table: I think both formats are okay. Perhaps I like the shorter format a little bit more and you can copy&paste it better into a text file, so I changed it back (if it is okay for you). --Harvester 08:17, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
re: MOD & CALL, thanks GrAnd. I kind of thought that's what the MOD was for but wasn't sure. I'll try to not add any "call" commands to my scripts too. :-) Then again ... a print "Call 1-800-BUY-CHDK" as a subliminal ad in every 15th intervalometer shot might work. :-)
re: Table, yep, looks much nicer. The more I saw that blunder the more I saw the blunder by trying a table to fix a font problem on my end. If nothing else, I learned lots of cool stuff about making tables in Wiki-speak. :-)

Manual focus button on S3 IS

Any chance of the manual focus button on the S3 IS getting a command? It is very hard to keep the camera absolutely still while holding down the MF button. 207.216.12.82 18:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
