Other experimental builds / Re: Assign lens focal length and name for non cpu lenses
« on: January 25, 2019, 10:46:59 PM »
I don't want to mess with images, but prefer to give the lens details to the camera itself and let it do its job (if possible, of course), which should be the safe way, i suppose. Theoreticaly the point is to emulate chipped lenses with lua in a way, that there is no difference in those for the original camera firmware.
The other way is to write a script, which will use exiv2/exiftool to process existing xmp files and store/update corresponding exif keys of matching files.
But a si wrote before - having the camera do this automatically is preferable way for a lazy ass like me

Prob is, that each adapter may behave in a different way depending on presence and version of the chip. And we'd have to override this behavior by giving the camera a list of available apertures to choose from. Which may technically be the same as setting the lens name and focal length.
For the serial number - i had no idea it can get this complicated
And in this area i'm of sub-zero use as i don't have experience with C..

By the way, I would like to have aperture overridden in Photo menu... it would be useful to remember and check what value selected from the script.You mean this one?
