NX500/NX1 - customizing function of keys

[stf1x]

It works

You're a star!

That's really great, many user in this forum and pro reviewers asked for that function in one of the firmware updates or critisised that it is not there. Implemenation would have been a no brainer for samsung.

I need to test it a bit longer this week on moving subjects this week and how it interpalays with the other function like AEL, AFL, lock etc.

Ideally your productionise it and add it to the "package" of patches, so other can test as well.

So, I have no way to test this on NX1 but could you try replacing your keyscan binary with this one https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/keyscan_bbaf and adding fourth parameter to script file that calls it so it looks like this

/mnt/mmc/scripts/keyscan /dev/event0 /dev/event1 /mnt/mmc/scripts/ bbaf

Or, put it as keyscan_bbaf on SD card folder scripts and from telnet session do:

killall keyscan

/mnt/mmc/scripts/keyscan_bbaf /dev/event0 /dev/event1 /mnt/mmc/scripts/ bbaf

BB-AF ON <- it reports this on startup

A report back if it works?

On NX500 there is no AF button so I have to also simulate half-pressing the shutter, but I want to avoid that for NX1 as it just takes another ~second to do (as well as simulating release...)

You are my hero man. Seriously, this issue is my single biggest issue when using the NX1 in a photography setting. Will try it out an see if it works.

Thank you. Please do report how it works / fails as I don't have nx1 so I'm going a bit "blind" with this issue
