Enable Synchable Remote

Enable [] / Disable [ ]

Enables synchable scriptless remote as used in Stereo Data Maker. This changes the previous
operation so that after the first press to focus, you then press and hold until the Print button blue
LED shows (Ready to shoot indication) and then release to fire the shutter. The shutter fires on a
falling voltage which might be more reliable on some cameras.

Enable Synch

Enable [] / Disable [ ]

Used to synchronize 2 or more cameras when all connected to the same USB-Remote signal.

Enable Synch Delay

Enable [] / Disable [ ]

Allows you to fine-tune the USB-Remote triggering speed to match
that of other cameras when using more than 1 camera. (For stereo
imagery, multi-frame stop-action Matrix (the movie) type effects,
etc.) Rate of delay is adjusted with the settings below.

Sync Delay 1ms

USB-Remote Sync delay in 1ms increments (1/1000th of a second).

Sync Delay 0.1s

USB-Remote Sync delay in 0.1s increments (1/10th of a second).

Enable Remote Zoom

Enable [] / Disable [ ]

To enable the zoom by remote control function.

Zoom Time-out 0.1s

[ 2 - 10 ]

Set a value for time-out, 0.1s x 2 up to 10.

Load Default Param Values

CHDK normally saves your last user-selected script parameters from one session to the next.
Press

FUNC.SET

when the menu cursor is on this option resets them to the default parameters as

programmed into the script when first ran. A simple way to go back to a script's defaults after
you've gotten hopelessly lost in many changes or just need a quick way to return to base settings.

Parameters Set

Allows for the selection of 0 to 9 (ten) optional parameter sets for each script. If you select a
new Parameter Set and then change your user-setting script parameters, CHDK will now
remember your settings for each set. (The script parameter sets are saved in a CHDK/DATA/
directory named by the script in use at the time.) Now you can have up to 10 favorite settings for
any one script. The next time you load the same script your favorite defaults can be called-up by
just selecting numbers 0 to 9.

Save params

Enable [] / Disable [ ]

Save current parameter settings.
