Hello all.  :)

Ability to register AF focus distances and set them to buttons. ..is what I need.

The goal is quite simple: having a quick way to switch to an acceptable "hyperfocal" focus distance for that lens/aperture/..

I have a 5dIII. This is not a feature request since I need it quickly ( in 20 days ) but couple of question:


  • Is that doable ? I mean, by starting with something simple, like juste focus to something, register it somehow, and then set that focus distance to a button.
    Maybe later add some nice stuff like embeded DoF calculation regarding to lens, aperture, ...  But to keep it simple, it is at least doable ? 
  • Do you think it is doable by someone who never touched ML development that quickly ? and where to start ? ( I mean, I am a java dev at work, so I can find my way arround languages I don't know yet but I won't be efficient ) 
  • Again, please, where to start ? I just noticed this post http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7189.0 and maybe I can grab a few hints in this code
  • does writing new modules require to recompile ML ?

Thanks for any tips or directions !

Sorry if I miss obvious posts that already answered my questions. I gave a look in the forum but didn't find.
