Sony A7S TCL value Shutter over 1/4 is impossible

[skytdp]

Hello

I found a problem to set the shutter with value like 1" , 2" , ...

In the Single line command Tcl script, when I use the command <setcamera property="shutter" value="1/4"/>, I'm able to change this value on my Sony A7S through the wifi.

But with the command <setcamera property="shutter" value="1""/>, I have a syntax error.

For your information, I retrieve from the list of value 1" when I would like to use 1 seconde.

I don't know if I can use another syntax for a turn around.

Thank you

There are two quotation mark
If <setcamera property="shutter" value="1""/>

Hello Duka,
Thank you for these informations.
I tried to use quotations (') just after 1 but here the error message : "Wrong value 1''s for property shutter"

Here the syntax , i used : If <setcamera property="shutter" value="1''"/>

I got the same Problem with my A7S.
Via Script you cannot set the shutter speed to 1" or 2". The Problem is the quotation mark.
In the XML Code a second quoatation mark is not allowed. So I escaped it via &quot; but it still doesn´t shows an error.

I also tried just a [1] for speed, a [1s], [1'']. (without brackets)
nothing worked

But despite of that, great software!

Try this (i don't have any sony camera right now to test it)
<setcamera property="shutter" value="1&quot;"/>

&quot; = "

i´ve tried it already. See in my Post. It still gives the error that it is a wrong value for shutter.
Any other ideas?

Seemingly identical problem here with a Canon EOS100D.

I can't seem to get set the shutter speed to anything non-fractional, using either an xml script, a Tcl script, or via CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe.

Running any of the following fails (no change in camera settings, stdout reads ":;response:null;")
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed 0.3
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed 0.3"
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed "0.3"
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed "0.3""
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed "0.3\""
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed 0.3s
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed "0.3s"

However, the following all work just fine:
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed 1/10
CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c Set shutterspeed 1/30

Running CameraControlRemoteCmd.exe /c List shutterspeed yields
:;response:["Bulb","30","25","20","15","13","10","8","6","5","4","3.2","2.5","2","1.6","1.3","1","0.8","0.6","0.5","0.4","0.3","1/4","1/5","1/8","1/10","1/13","1/15","1/20","1/25","1/30","1/40","1/50","1/60","1/80","1/100","1/125","1/160","1/200","1/250","1/320","1/400","1/500","1/640","1/800","1/1000","1/1250","1/1600","1/2000","1/2500","1/3200","1/4000"];

Trying to set the property via an Xml script (<setcamera property="shutter" value="1&quot;"/> as suggested earlier) yields:
Wrong value 1"s for property shutter

Did anyone else ever end up solving this issue? Spitballing here, but its curious how it seems to only be an issue for fractional shutter speeds. Could this be a string-parsing bug?

Thanks in advance for your help!
