Hello 
I try to write a lua script that will simulate a halfshutter button press every 16 seconds (infinite loop) while the camera (6d) is turned on.
The reason for that is that i want the lightmeter to stay on in video mode. It is turning of after 16 seconds. I want to use it all the time so i tried to write a lua script.
Now comes the problem. I am a scripting noob
This is my script right now but it is not working as expected because nothing actually happens after the camera has loaded it (at least that works):
-- AutoHalfShutter by clubsoda
-- Simulates the HalfShutter button every 16 seconds
function autohalfshutter()
while( true )
do
key.press(KEY.HALFSHUTTER)
sleep(16)
end
end
I hope someone could help me out and tell me what is wrong or even help me writing a working script for my problem.
PS: I know of the sticky shutter feature but it sadly interfers with my workflow
THX in advance
