CHDK - Autofocusing Each Shot On Self imer

Hi folks,

Was chatting with a mate about using the custom self-timer on my S95 to take shots with me in. I argued that by me pressing the button myself, the camera would then focus into the distance and once I stand in front of it, I will be blurry. This is true as i've found this when taking my fishing pics.

He said that there is a setting in CHDK where when you set up the self-timer to take X amount of shhots, it will re-focus for every shot instead of keeping the original focal point.

Can someone confirm this is true and if they have used it, can they tell me if it worked well with each shot in focus?

Thanks very much

Ian

It seems the group here is somewhat small that uses CHDK, if you don't get an answer maybe try the CHDK forum or Wiki. I do time lapse with CHDK haven't tried much else, so sorry I can't help

Always appreciate anyone's comments on here but if the CHDK will solve the problem, all the better as it will resolve the issue much better.

Thanks very much
