Scripting SX220 HS, 28-392mm lens, in uBasic.

The lens has 125 steps, each step is directly accessible with the ubasic command set_zoom x (where x is anything from 0 to 125). (392-28)/125 = a factor of 2.912 for each step, plus a static 28mm start at step 0, to get it's FullFrame eqv. focal length. Follow a set_zoom x with a sleep xxxx, to minimize vibrations before taking a picture, or just make simple zoom_50mm, zoom_100mm, etc.. scripts for your camera.
A simple script to reveal your camera's static values:
@title Show Variables
@param a = Aperture (Av)
@default a 0
@param b = Exposure (Tv)
@default b 0
@param c = Iso
@default c 0
@param d = Focus (distance)
@default d 0
@param e = Zoom
@default e 0

shoot

get_av96 a
get_tv96 b
get_iso c
get_focus d
get_zoom e
print "Av",a,"Tv",b
print "ISO",c,"Focus",d
print "Zoom",e
Now you can get the camera ->Back to the same 'position' as before you had to change the battery, or the camera entered sleep mode; and closed the lens. All you have to do is: know your settings!
