The script is to be found infinity always in the same place. To assist it in focus stacking.

Can this be converted to TCC?

[gerk.raisen]

The big problem is that we have to wait a TCC script module for run it.
After the current raw implementation TCC act only as a ELF loader for modules...
The "scripting" part has been removed.
Also the API are not existent at the moment.
I miss a lot at least PicoC scripting.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a way to just press a button and have cam focus right to infinity no matter what zoom range your at. I have issues at night when doing night lightning and I have nothing to aim at that I can see to focus on, and trying to manually adjust to Infinity and just a little off makes lightning soft, it has to be right on or it don't look good. And during day time if you have a fast storm it is hard to focus on something really fast then set the cam to correct settings for the storm, I miss bolts this way.

Absolutely agree...
I have exactly the same problems, especially at night.
Even better I think is to have the possibility to choose if map the button to infinity or hyperfocal
