Enter a choice of unit value, either 1, 10, 100, or 1000, this will change the Subj. Dist. Value by
the unit value you entered, ie: if the Value factor is 10, and the Subj. Dist. is 10 then the focus
will be 10 x 10 = 100 mm from the lens.
These Manual Focus adjustments can also be achieved with shortcut keys. In

manual modes.
• Value factor
The factor is used to enable the ISO override, and to set a multiplier against the "Override ISO
value" set above. So if you want to use an ISO of 1200, you would set the "Override ISO value"
to 12, and the "Value factor" to 100. This arrangement exists to speed the setting of a custom
ISO.
Note: Although CHDK may show a higher or lower setting, minimum and maximum ISO
overrides will mainly be determined by the camera hardware limits, CHDK enables "fine
tuning" of ISO settings, See: Custom Auto ISO on pages 12, 13.
