Transfer setting from Av or Tv to M

[IanW]

Time and again I use Av or Tv to work out the exposure (Exp,Ap,ISO) then have to set these by hand in M mode (I use M mode when using flash and these settings are a good starting point.)

It would be great to press one button to copy the three settings to the Manual mode

why not just stay in M and zero the exposure meter? or you can try http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8688.0

I integrated this in one of my (currently personal and part of my infamous "to be released" queue) modules, it's called "copy to m": Select a mode (p/tv/av) in the menu and then the setting from this is copied to m mode once you turn the dial to it.

I use this all the time for focus stacking, figure out the exposure in semi-auto and then do stacking/bracketing in m ... if you really want it I can upload it as a single-feature module and cut out all the other wip stuff.

I'm also taking this opportunity for offer my free service of beta testing for your other present and future modules
Thanks

Here you go, single-feature only, I just saw everything else requries core patches and wouldn't work with just putting the .mo into the camera:

Let me know if it works as a drop-in mo without any other core dependencies (I expect it to, but didn't test it) and if you have any other feature suggestions. Right now, it just copies av/tv/iso from the chosen p/av/tv mode to m.

I loved this module... but it's build in 0.5 way, and should be updated to 0.6 to work with latest nightlies.

Could you rebuild/upload it, please? I found it very comfortable in some scenarios to get what you want Av or Tv way, and then going into M to work from the same adjustments without being recalculated and spoiled each time you press shooter again...

Thanks
