CHDK/LUALIB/capmode.lua[]

This is a standard lua module included in the full CHDK distribution. It provides convenient access to the capture mode control functions, as well as the ability to specify capture modes by their names.

Modes names may be found in CHDK/LUALIB/GEN/modelist.lua. These are the same as the enum values in include/modelist.h, minus the MODE_ prefix
