Preset Speed Recall #6

Closed davidjoshuaford closed 2 years ago

davidjoshuaford commented 2 years ago

The Recall Preset Mode for "Speed" doesn't appear to work. Seems like it does work for "Time" and for "Normal", but not for "Speed". I've tested changing the Speed parameters at 100 and at 50, but there's no change in speed.

It's working well here. I did it through the Presets buttons. Did you use the presets or create them manually? It shouldn't matter - just trying to troubleshoot here. I am using a 300.

davidjoshuaford commented 2 years ago

I have a 300 also. On further testing, perhaps it's the exponential increase of the Speed parameters with in Canon's camera itself. For instance, I was using a setting of 100 as fast, and 50 as slow...but it was all just fast. However, it appears that 1 is slow, 2 is moderate, 3 quick, and anything 4+ is just plain fast! What speed settings are you using to differentiate between fast/slow?

josephdadams commented 2 years ago

I was using 1-2 as "slow" and 45+ to move faster. So yeah - I guess that's it.

Makes sense. Maybe it's more that Canon would need to implement a linear response rather than exponential. Feels very all or nothing with the way that scale responds. Knowing that 1 is slow is fine for the implementation. Cheers
