Software Dev / Any Progress, ETA, for the next FW Update release ? + Some improvement hopes
« on: October 01, 2022, 05:32:25 AM »
Hello Dear DevOps of this fantastic Gem, (I am on a Chronos 2.1)
It's been a while now, since the latest FW was out.
I feel so exited about the next promising new features and improvements.
May you please share Any Progress, ETA, for the next FW Update release ?
For my personal expectations, as said in my previous post on this forum, among others improvements,
I hope for some way to have an optionnal setting to dim lights :
The above may sound stupid to some, but here is my use case :
I am shooting storm lighnings, and particularly at night, the menu band, and the leds are so bright, they are blinding
and disturbing the visual observation when Chronos is hand held. I have already framed my subject and focus, so actually I dont need the screen full brighness disconfort or even can have it off while waiting the actual lighning strike.
This Feature improvement - Dimming the full screen or even turning it off totally while waiting for a Lightning strike -, would as well help quite a bit I guess on the Battery saving, for longer shooting sessions while on the go.
Toggling the VERY BRIGHT menu bar off would as well stop the blinding light disturbing the observation on night sessions.
Best of World, would be to have a way to set the LCD light output level, from Zero to max.
Actually, a two tap on the screen toggle on-off the ZOOM,
so why not, having something like a 3 tap to toggle the LCD, or to toggle the menu band individually or both, on-off ?
these will Greatly improve confort at night, and help some battery savings.
Even the leds only are much too bright at night, I guess implementing a way to dim them would be kind of easy to do. (?)
I dream to see these improvements, among others, being implemented in a future release.
how do you find it interresting ?
Thank You in advance,
Kind Regards and happy shootings to all !

I hope for some way to have an optionnal setting to dim lights :
- Dim the LCD screen light output, have at least a setting to dim it or even switch it off
- Dim the leds as well, power and record leds
- Being able to make the Menu Band Toggle dissapear i.e. 3 quick press on the wheel or 3 tap the screen
