In this week’s video I look into the new features in the just released Camera Axe 5.3 software. There are a lot of interesting features here.

Here’s a list of the new features:
* Added gravity menu back
* Added stacker, panorama, jog, and irRemote features (Help from Don)
* Updated LCD lib to work with Arduino 1.0
* Changed file types from *.pde to *.ino as recommended for Arduino 1.0
* Updated code with USE_* defines to make it easy for people to pick the menus they want
* Changed bulb time in the Advanced Sensor Menu from 00->99 to 000.0->999.9 seconds
* Moved all strings to language.ino to make translation easier
* Started using PROGMEM for all strings to reduce sram usage
* Added eeprom size so defaults are reloaded when new program uploaded
* Added 3rd drop to Valve 1
* Added “Number of Repeats” to force multiple shots in valve menu
* Change default drop size in valve menus to 4 since that works better with the new valve sensor
* Increased max value of “Flash Delay Auto Inc” from 9 ms to 99 ms
* Added seconds between shots to valve menu
* Added number of shots to valve menu
* Fixed bug with intervalometer where minutes and seconds weren’t correctly clamping to 59
* Cleanup of how decimal is handled in numbers to greatly simply code
* Increased amount of time for shutter to open in valve menu from 150 ms to 400 ms
* Increased delay times for camera shutter from 20 ms to 400 ms on stacker and panorama
* Fixed a bug in backlight option that turned backlight off after 10 seconds; it now turns off backlight in photomode
