Poor response for exposure settings

[mhamburg]

It is very difficult to set and change the ISO and shutter settings. They respond at random and only with multiple attempts. What could cause this? Thank you.

Nobody else has reported these symptoms. Please provide more information.

What Canon camera model?

What version of BYE(like 3.2.3)? This is basic functionality, so we do not need your license key type (Classic, Premium, Trial).

What detailed steps to re-create your issue?

Where are you looking on the screen to see the values in question?

When you define the capture plan on the Imaging screen, those values are not transferred to the camera until you start the capture. The values in the Camera Information Center of the Imaging tab are the most recent values that BYE read from the camera.

Here is how my version 3.2.3 of BYE behaves with my Canon T5i:

If I take a picture from the Imaging screen the values in the capture plan are sent to the camera when Start Capture is clicked. They are also updated in the Camera Information Center (CIC) before the picture is taken. However, when I switch to Frame & Focus, the previous F&F settings are sent to the camera so that the expected LiveView exposure settings (duration and ISO) are used. If I then change the F&F settings they are immediately sent to the camera. When I switch back to Imaging, the Camera Information Center shows the F&F settings because they are what are live in the camera, but when I click Start Capture the current capture plan settings are sent to the camera and should immediately show in the CIC. This is by design and how BYE has always functioned.

Let us know how your setup works, but please provide more detailed information that will allow the community to try to duplicate your behavior.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I will try to document the situation in more detail as soon as I can get some time in my observatory.

It might be more convenient to do your testing and documentation at the kitchen table. You are just watching the settings and don't care about the actual image. A body cap will simulate a telescope.
