a1ex, thanks for your response.

I've looked into your "Long Answers" and seems I need to study a lot. 

I will be looking into shoot_task and what a hook and task are.  I believe I understand the idea of having the complete capture process outside of the keypress triggered function.  The approach to coding this is beyond me at the moment.

I will continue to research and will post back with questions at some point.

Thanks again for pointing.

Hi All,
First timer scripting and could really use some help.  I have t5i/700D, using lua_fix.2019Mar20.700D115

Thanks for any help or pointing to resources in advance.

My intention is to be able to script a custom exposure bracket that I can then trigger from my external intervalometer.

Here's a version of the script that doesn't have the expected result of running every time the intervalometer triggers but does cause the script to loop from an initial fullshutter trigger (I couldn't figure out how to get a while loop to work for this scenario):

lua

Code Select Expand


bracket_menu = menu.new
{
    name    = "Yones",
    choices = { "OFF", "ON" },
    value   = "OFF",
    help    = "8 exposure bracket",
}

function event.keypress(key)
    while key == KEY.FULLSHUTTER and bracket_menu.value == "ON" do
      camera.shutter.value = 1/4000
camera.shoot(64,false)

camera.shutter.value = 1/1000
camera.shoot(64,false)

camera.shutter.value = 1/250
camera.shoot(64,false)
 
camera.shutter.value = 1/60
camera.shoot(64,false)

camera.shutter.value = 1/15
camera.shoot(100,false)

camera.shutter.value = 1/4
camera.shoot(300,false)

  camera.shutter.value = 1.0
camera.shoot(1100,false)

camera.shutter.value = 4.0
camera.shoot(4200,false)

      camera.shutter.value = 1/4000

    end
end


After inconsistent amount of times running it crashes, here are the two crash reports:
